Rubio Reintroduces Legislation to Prevent Suspected Terrorists From Purchasing Firearms
FEB 02 2021
Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) reintroduced the Terror Intelligence Improvement Act to make it harder for suspected terrorists to purchase firearms. The bill would also provide more authority for law enforcement agencies to go after suspected terrorists, while safeguarding law-abiding citizens’ Second Amendment and due process rights.

“After the terrorist attack at Pulse nightclub, I made a promise to improve our laws to make it more difficult for evil people to get ahold of guns,” Rubio said. “This bill is a common-sense measure that would help ensure criminals, terrorists, and others seeking to take innocent lives are not able to acquire firearms, while also protecting the due process and Second Amendment rights of innocent, law-abiding Americans.”

The Terror Intelligence Improvement Act would:
Consolidate all federal terrorism investigation intelligence under the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), strengthening the FBI’s capabilities and making sure dangerous individuals do not fall through the cracks.
Require the FBI Director and the Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) be immediately notified of any request to transfer a firearm to an individual who was the subject of a federal terrorism investigation within the last 10 years.
When an individual who was the subject of a federal terrorism investigation within the last 10 years tries to obtain a firearm, allow the U.S. Attorney General to delay the purchase or transfer for up to ten business days and file an emergency petition in court to prevent the transfer. If the court finds probable cause that the individual is or has been engaged in terrorism, the Attorney General may arrest the individual.
Protect the due process rights of law-abiding Americans by ensuring emergency petitions filed by the Attorney General are only granted if the transferee receives notice of the hearing and has the opportunity to participate with legal counsel. If the court denies the Attorney General’s petition, the federal government is responsible for all reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees.
Require the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community (IC IG) to conduct an audit of the federal government’s terrorism screening and watch list procedures, and identify any problems in the processes of adding or removing individuals from the system. Based on the audit, the IC IG must then submit a report to the Senate and House Intelligence Committees with recommendations for improving the system.

Exactly, glad I'm not the only one that feels that way.

Of course, eventually the government will decide who is a terrorist and what qualifies as terrorism. Given how quickly (and for what political reasons) persons have been named domestic terrorists I would run from such a bill. For crying out loud, we have allowed the National Guard to be vetted for inappropriate speech because that may be reason to be afraid of individuals. We keep seeking ways to keep firearms out of the hands of citizens while consolidating power in the hands of the government. We keep swallowing the idea that there are common sense restrictions on the constitutional rights of individuals. Keep it simple. If an individual commits a crime with any weapon, prosecute the crime. Leave the rest of the citizens alone.

EXACTLY what a terrorist would argue. You are on the list, bub.

I haven't trusted Rubio since immediately after he was elected and immediately joined the "gang of 8" for amnesty of illegal aliens. He ran against illegals and immediately flipped after his swearing in.

Not our good friend, 'Little Marco!' He'd never stick it to Floridians, let alone Gun Owners!

The Democrats are creating their own Republican Guard. Saddam would be impressed.
