Individuals on the FBI’s terrorist watchlist are not prevented from legally purchasing firearms, but two lawmakers want to change that. FBI data from last year show that people on the watchlist were cleared to purchase guns 94 percent of the time.

Between 2004 and 2014, the FBI completed 2,233 background checks involving individuals on the watchlist. Only 190 individuals were declined, according to the Government Accountability Office (GAO). The GAO does not have data on how many firearms purchases were completed because dealers are not required to submit that information to the FBI.

“If the only mark on your record is that you are on the watchlist, you are allowed to purchase a firearm,” said David Maurer, the GAO's director of justice and law enforcement issues.

Humans of New York on Facebook has put upa link to his original photos of refugees. Well worth taking the time to look at the photos and to read the stories.

France is still going to take the refugees.  No chicken littles there.

Sorry but it's true.  The FBI affirms it.

Real cute @foundinlv, but I don't toe anyone's party line.

@MyGirlsMom Well, wherever you are getting your information, I don't agree with it.

@foundinlv

okay..

@MyGirlsMom  okay!

Wrong!  There is no way the Syrian people are vetted...when you flee from oppression, you don't pack a suitcase or take your documents...we have no diplomatic relationship with Syria and can not authenticate status.

Why won't China Accept them?  Or, Japan?  Argentina? 

Just because you leave your country doesn't mean you have to come to America.  It's NOT A RIGHT for some to come here and demand to be considered Americans and given benefits just for showinging up.  We don't owe people that at all.

How about Dubai, United Emirates, Arabia...

If we admit 10,000 refugees, where does the vetting take place? 

I wonder if Germany vetted them, didn't they take in like 800,000?

---

All 10,000 refugees aren't allowed in at once.  Thus far 44% have been children and only 2% have been males of fighting age.

---

I saw a television program tonight that put numbers on the screen. 48% were women (and maybe children and old men) and a full 52% were men between the ages of 18 and 50.

You just have to look at the pictures, worth a thousand words...

@Stray  They are vetted - they go through a 13 step program and they all don't enter the country at once.

[foundinlv]

MGM....seriously, you need to stop with the flagging of people particularly when they are already on the same thread.  

[MyGirlsMom]

Good night found.
