Lie #26: "...voting to allow known terrorists to buy guns..."

Dennis Hennigan of the Brady Campaign:

How can any politician pretend to be serious about protecting the nation from terrorism, while voting to allow known terrorists to buy guns, including assault weapons?

A bold-faced lie. The amendment in question did nothing to prohibit known terrorists from buying guns. It did however authorize that the horribly-flawed, secret "terrorist watch list" be used to deny people a Constitutional right without due process.

The Brady Campaign is wrong again... Again.

Dennis Henigan says

According to a new report, U.S. Firearms Trafficking to Mexico, by the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars and the University of San Diego Trans-Border Institute, of 75,000 firearms seized by the Mexican government in the last three years, about 80%, or 60,000 firearms, came from the United States.

The GAO gives a more truthful insight:

So it's more like 8,700 out of 75,000. Not 60,000.
