A more severe hole in the current law is commonly referred to as the Terror Gap. If you are on the U.S. Government Terrorist Watch List for being a known or suspected terrorist, and do not meet any of the other prohibitive categories, you can purchase a firearm. You cannot get on an airplane, but you can buy an AR-15 assault rifle or a .50 caliber sniper rifle and thousands of rounds of ammunition. According to a 2011 U.S. Government Accountability Office report, individuals on the Terrorist Watch List have attempted to purchase firearms from an FFL 1,228 times since 2010. More than 90% of those sales were allowed to proceed because there were no other disqualifiers.
