Senate Continues To Allow People On Terror Watch Lists To Buy Guns
- USA Today, Tuesday, June 21, 2016 11:34 AM
In a show of staunch partisanship, the Senate rejected four gun bills yesterday. Two of the bills put forward by Democrats would have made it illegal for people on the terror watch list to buy guns and would expand background checks to private gun sales. The two GOP bills would have increased funding for the background check system, while creating a system of judicial oversights capable of individually preventing terror-watch lists suspects from buying guns. As expected, the Senate was unable to do anything about the gun violence problem in the United States.
