Schumer wants loophole closed in federal gun laws

U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer said Sunday a loophole in federal gun laws allows people who are on the U.S. terrorist watch list to buy guns. Schumer noted the arrests last week of three Brooklyn men on charges they conspired to join ISIS and carry out attacks at home. The New York Democrat blames the NRA lobby and wants legislation to prohibit guns sales to people on the list.

Schumer-Stand up to NRA

Schumer says we prohibit spousal abusers and mentally ill people from buying guns, but we don't prohibit people on terrorist watch lists from buying guns.
