I introduced a bill that we refer to as the No Fly, No Buy legislation. What it says is that, if you are listed on the Government's terrorist watch list--and I am not talking about the very broad one; I am talking about the no-fly list--where you are considered to be so dangerous that we do not allow you to board an airplane--now, obviously, a lot of the people on this list are not Americans, but there is a small subset that is. Our bipartisan bill says that you should not be able to purchase a firearm if you are on that list.
