UNDATED - New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is upset about a federal loophole. It lets people on the FBI's Terrorist Watchlist to legally buy guns and explosives.
Bloomberg will voice his objections to the current law when he testifies on Capitol Hill Wednesday.
The Huffington Post reports members of Congress have repeatedly ignored requests from both the Bush and Obama administrations to close the loophole -- fearing a backlash from the nation's gun lobby.
People on the watchlist were involved in firearm or explosives background checks 1,228 times in the past six years, the Huffington Post reports. Of those, 1,119 transactions were allowed to proceed.

I would like to know what their criteria is for putting someone on that list. If it were up to the POTUS or Bloombergevery one that disagrees withthem would probably be open for an unjust listing.
