Well, they took 1 (.50 cals are big and scary looking) and added 1 (GAO says a couple dozen terrorist suspects legally purchased some type of gun) and got:
"OH MY GOD THE TERRORISTS ARE GOING TO SHOOT DOWN PLANES WITH .50 CAL RIFLES, WE NEED A LAW QUICK!!!!"
This pretty much says it all:
"We didn't 'connect the dots' before the last terrorist attack and now the threat is staring right at us. If we know that terrorists are buying guns right here in the U.S., then why wouldn't they get their hands on the most powerful weapon available that could attack a civilian airliner or a chemical plant?" asked Thom Mannard, Executive Director of the Illinois Council Against Handgun Violence. "Our military found training manuals in the Middle East directing terrorists to come to the United States to take advantage and exploit our weak gun laws to carry out future attacks and clearly terrorists are following those instructions."Didn't connect the dots?
Well, let's start with to buy a gun in the USA you are REQUIRED to be a citizen.
Next, there isn't any law stating that terrorist SUSPECTS can't buy guns. If you want that fine, go right ahead. That would make some amount of sense.
Next, making the .50 caliber illegal means that the terrorist wouldn't be able to use something else? Or couldn't get the .50 cal illegally?
I surrender. Watching the Anti-Gun whackos is like watching someone with St. Vitus' Dance.
