Republicans and the NRA think it’s perfectly fine to sell guns to people on the no-fly list. Sure, someone may be a suspected terrorist but let’s not infringe upon their Second Amendment rights.
Their defense is that there are flaws with the No-Fly List and people are often put on it by mistake. What’s the first warning sign to get on that list, grow a beard? I think not being allowed on a flight would upset me more than not being able to buy a gun, but that’s just me. Apparently it hasn’t occurred to the gun huggers that maybe we should tighten up the process that puts people on the no-fly list. I mean, if they think we can tighten up the vetting process for visas and refugees then surely we can do something about the no-fly list.
I thought about doing something on this subject at the end of last week, but by that point I had done enough cartoons on guns. I wanted other subjects. Rahm Emanuel, Antonin Scalia, and of course Donald Trump helped me out there.
