The NRA and The FBI Terror Watch List Response

About this video

Colion argues that the NRA’s opposition to denying gun purchases to individuals on government terror watch lists is about protecting constitutional rights, not arming terrorists. He contends that the watch lists are error-prone, secretive, and lack due process, citing what he describes as a 2009 audit finding that 35% of names shouldn’t have been listed. Colion frames this as a defense of Second Amendment rights against arbitrary government power, warning that accepting secret lists to restrict one right will threaten all constitutional freedoms.

Key takeaways

• Colion teaches that opposing terror watch list gun restrictions is about protecting due process and constitutional rights for law-abiding citizens, not enabling terrorism
• He argues that government watch lists are unreliable, citing what he reports as high error rates and the inclusion of people who pose no actual threat
• Colion warns that accepting secret government lists to restrict Second Amendment rights sets a precedent that could be used to erode other constitutional protections, including freedom of the press
