Right now, a person on the FBIs Terrorists Watch List can go into a gun store and purchase a firearm legally. If a person on the Terrorist Watch List is too dangerous to buy a plane ticket, why are they allowed to purchase unlimited weapons and ammunition? Congress needs to act now to protect the American people, not guns. The Denying Firearms and Explosives to Dangerous Terrorists Act a bipartisan bill - would prohibit the sale of firearms to people on the FBIs Terrorist Watch List. Congress needs to take the most basic step we can by passing this bill to keep Americans safe from those who wish to do us harm. Mr. Speaker, I yield back. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
