How can you ban something from someone on a suspicion? Sounds unconstitutional

any person in the USA that buys a firearm is a potential mass killer.

Being suspected of being a terrorist is no more grounds for denying someone the opportunity to purchase a firearm than denying someone that belongs to the NRA the same opportunity.

Mallory will have egg on his face on this one, that and blew any national political ambitions

Number one it's unconstitutional, number two the no fly list is Federal......... Individual States have no legal authority over it or anyone supposedly on it.

Then how is it constitutional to restrict someone's travel? Or how about we just allow these people to fly.....with you.

Simple the 2nd amendment ...

This will get shot down like Chicago's gun ban.

I think the only way it could work is at the federal level like the 1968 gun law.

It's a sad freaking fact that you can't depend on the Feds to deal with a laundry list much less than a no-fly list. Even in FDR's day, the people who were considered to be dangerous to the safety of the Nation during wartime were arrested and tried and deported or sentenced to prison time. Bill Clinton was busy bombing freaking Europe while some of the 9-11 terrorists were in the Country illegally. How many people on the "no fly list" are on visas or otherwise illegally in the Country and yet the Hussein administration makes no effort to kick their sorry asses out of the U.S.

If more states did this, it might mean the end of the no fly list altogether and a complete restructuring. There was a 6 year old boy denied a family vacation at Orlando Disneyland because Charles Taylor was on the no fly list. The no fly list is foolishness.
