Yes, if you are on the terrorist watch list, the authorities can keep you from getting on a plane but not from purchasing an AK-47. This makes sense to Congress because, as Graham accurately pointed out, "when the founders sat down and wrote the Constitution, they didn't consider flying."
Maybe they're worried about who's going to find out they're on the FBI watch list when they can't buy a gun? Because otherwise that makes no sense whatsoever. Most malefactors don't have much difficulty getting ahold of a weapon because they *do not abide by the rules*. Geez Louise.
Okay, I give up. What was the Guys & Dolls reference to? Would I actually have to know and watch what's on TV? Because while I used to read the TV guide cover to cover, now it's dreck and I have no free time anyway.
