House representatives will introduce a bill Wednesday that would ban anyone on the controversial no-fly list from purchasing a gun in the U.S.

Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-N.Y.), a strong gun control advocate, is co-sponsoring the legislation that would apply to the nearly 1 million people that make up the government’s no-fly list – people believed to either be terrorist or have strong terrorism connections.

Currently the no-fly list is not a part of the background check for buying guns.

A Zogby International Poll last month found that 69 percent of 3,967 registered American voters only supported a move to prohibit people on the no-fly list from buying a weapon if they have previously been convicted of a crime. On the other hand, 20 percent said anyone on the list should be prohibited.

The no-fly list has received criticism in the past for stopping people with similar names to those on the list from flying.


  • Scoot

    I bet all of our names are now on the no fly list now.

    But, of course, obozo has no intention of taking people’s guns away from them. :roll:

  • Vehement

    Ya, that’ll work, because criminals never skirt the law and as we all know the planes on 9/11 we taken down with handguns and automatics. :roll:

  • Kirk

    Where in this bill, is DUE PROCESS? Sure would be great if these people had to justify, scrutinize, and filter, every bill through the US CONSTITUTION!

  • Specter

    The ugliness begins. :evil:

  • Will

    As everyone knows only nice upstanding people buy guns anyways, not criminals.

  • YERMOM

    the NRA should take her to court for attempting to violate the 2nd Amendment.

  • prestonbrooks

    What is the H.R. number?

  • Mike Mose

    Obama and the dems have overreached. It is time for ten million angry men to go to DC and show them what a GOOD American protest looks like.

  • TerryTate

    Gee, two problems.

    1. Due process.

    2. Is it a good idea to inform these guys that they are being watched by letting them know they are on the list?

  • Fred

    They keep trying to find backdoor ways get gun control passed. Since Homeland Security has already classified us conservatives and advocates of the Constitution to be extremists, they have ready-made ways to get it done.

    They have armies of lawyers earning big bucks trying to find ways to get it done. We need our lawyers working for us citizens scheming ways to defeat their lawyers.

  • Saxon

    I think it`s HR 45.

  • Ivan the Kafir

    One person in 300 is on the “no-fly” list? Does that strike anyone here as rather high? What proportion of people ages 18-50 does that cover? How if we narrow that down to just men? I have to imagine that at that point, the ratio is closer to one in 50.
