    (2/3) 9 of 10 Americans on terrorist watchlist who try to buy firearms are legally allowed to do so. That must change. #EndGunViolence

        .@emptywheel @ggreenwald If 9 out of 10 on no-fly list are legally able to buy arms, perhaps it is the no-fly list that is broken ? or both

        Which also makes you wonder why the 10% aren’t arrested?

        @ggreenwald Probable cause has nothing to do with this. Denying a gun sale is not a search, seizure, or arrest of any kind.

        it is deprival of liberty and that requires due process according to 5th Amendment. Watch lists have none

        That is not probably cause though. Due process and probable cause are two different things.
