Show in my response I wrote ISIS or even ISIL?
They have the resources and they failed to do their damn job. Too many excuses for the failure of the government to do their damn job, and now they need to explain what they will do to fix their stupidity and mistake.
A man that pledge his loyalty to Al Qaeda to Hezbollah and had known contact with a known terrorist and investigated by the FBI should have been flagged.
Except that Al Qaeda and Hezbollah hate each other, so you can't be members of both. The FBI concluded this guy was talking smack because his white coworkers were harassing him.
Now, if you want to have REAL background checks where you thoroughly investigate people before you let them buy guns, and it takes as long as it takes, I'm good with that. But don't complain that the "government" didn't do a job the NRA has insisted it not have the power to do.
Even if this guy HAD been flagged to be put on the "No Fly" list, he could still buy a gun.
