It's what they do.

Lie.

NRA, Republicans block proposed law to stop suspected terrorists from buying guns in U.S.

That's the headline. You can find the story online of you want to read it. I won't link to it. John Richardson provides a summary of the article here and Colion Noir comments below.

Ok, now this is just getting comical. Except it's not funny, it's stupid and slanderous. If there are 2000 suspects on a terror watch list and each of them "legally" bought firearms that means they underwent a FBI background check, which means the FBI knew about each attempted purchase and approved them. This is the dishonest manipulative garbage that anti-gunners engage in and it will only get worse as we get closer to elections. Now ask yourself, why.
