the f.b.i. was aware of omar mateen by 2013. authorities say he was not the subject of any active investigation. the city of orlando now coming together to mourn the dead and help their families in anyway they can. >> we not be defined by a hateful shooter. we will be defined how we support and love each other. >> we have a fox team coverage at the scene. we start with katherine herridg: what do we learn of his previous contacts with the f.b.i.? >> we are learning a lot about the two contacts with the f.b.i. the first was in 2013, the chairman of the house homeland security committee told fox news that in that particular episode, there everyone inflammatory statements made by the suspect, omar mateen, and they were so alarming to the co-workers they contacted the f.b.i. there were two meetings with the fbi but they were not able to substantiate the claims of the co-workers and it was effectively closed. the most significant contact came in 2014. it had to do we are told with another we american w

the f.b.i. on two occasions for allegations he threatened his co-workers. the f.b.i. said that mateen called 9-1-1 during the shooting and pledged allegiance to isis. florida governor rick scott calling for a "moment of silence," at this hour 6:00 p.m. east coast and is clear on what sort of act, he, the governor believes this to be. >> this is clearly an act of terrorism. it is sickening. it should make every american angry. >> the gunfire started at the nightclub as it prepared to close for the night. witnesses now describing the chaos. [ inaudible ] you turn around and someone is screaming low is blood spattering," and i did not know in it was mine and i got out and i relied it want mine but someone else. >> and we are following the federal investigation from washington and catherine will be with us in a second but, steve, is at the medical center where so many of the victims were brought. it is just a short distance away from the nightclub. steve? what are people saying about what it was like

president obama and the f.b.i. say the shooter omar mateen did pledge allegiance to the islamic state but so far there is no sign of a wider plot. what is the mood down in orlando today? >> it's definitely somber. i heard from the mayor, who says the city here was in mourning after the worst day in its history. police shorts have been updating us throughout the day about the shooting that happened a block away in the pulse night club. they described the gunman as calm and cool during the early stages of the assault. latest. is the >> the victims' families gathered in their twos and threes clinging to each other, bracing themselves for the worst possible news from the authorities. the process of identifying the bodies goes on. for the families, an unbearable wait. meanwhile, survivors have been telling their stories. >> what sounds like fireworks, balloons popping. you assume it's part of the show. and then you hear people start screaming and the sound doesn't stop. >> then he changed and put in other ammunition and

the f.b.i. did an unbelievable job of clearing the scene by 11:00 all of the victims had been remanufactured and turned over to the medical examiner. they also stood tall and did their job and now all 49 of the 49 victims have been identify identifyied. 24 of the next of kin have been notified. with more to come. the number to call for families is 407-246-435 as the next of kin are being notified, we are putting the names of the victims on www. www.cityoforlando/victims. i compliment the medical examiner and the police department for the work they did in making the identifications and then notifying the next of kin. we will continue that process today. we will not be define by the act of a cowardly hater. we will be defined by how we respond, how we treat each other and this community has already stepped up to do that. governor? >> a few minutes ago i asked the clearing of the state of message for florida yesterday. i did that yesterday for orlando, orange county and the mayor did it yesterday fo

he said he hoped the f.b.i. would raid his apartment and assault his wife and child so he could martyr himself. we attempted to determine if he was a terrorist. something we do in hundreds of cases all across the country. our investigation involved introducing confidential sources to him, recording conversations with him, following him, reviewing transactional record from his communications, and searching all of government holdings for any possible connections, any possible derogatory information. we then interviewed him twice. he admitted making misstatement his co-workers reported but said he did tonight anger because he felt his co-workers were discriminating against him and teasing him because he was muslim. after 10 months of investigation we closed the preliminary investigation. two months later the killer's name surfaced in an indirect way. our miami office was investigating the man who blew himself up for the al-nusra front in syria. we learned the killer knew him casually from attending the same months i

the f.b.i. for his remarks about support of mayor rifle. he was armed with an ar-15 semi-automatic nightclub and a handgun when he approached the fuss nightclub at 2:00 in the morning. he engaged a police officer but he was able to enter the nightclub and gain entry. officers arrived and they were able to drive him into the bathroom where he held hostages. ' but at 5:15 officers bunched a hole in the wall. when mateen climbed out. he engaged in fire with the police, and was gunned down. f.b.i. director james comey said mateen had strong indications of terrorist sympathies and he called 911 during the attack and pledged loyalty to the islamic state. but at the white house president obama called it another apparent example of what he termed quote homegrown extremism. among our guests. phil gavin and fox news terrorism expert dr. walid phares and the tearest attack resonating on the campaign trail where donald trump blasted president obama for his refusal to blame the massacre on radical islam. >>

the f.b.i. says it would help them with paperwork. i'm not going to quibble with that. i have great respect for the f.b.i. but we're going to abandon court oversight in an area where the inspector general has documented abuses because it's convenient? colleagues -- and i'll close with this -- it is a dangerous time. you sit on the intelligence committee, as i have, for a number of years, that's not in question. the american people want policies that promote their security and their liberty. that's what we're aiming for. what's being advanced in this amendment is an idea that really doesn't do either. it doesn't advance the security and well-being of the american people, and it certainly erodes their liberties. so i hope tomorrow when we have the vote on this amendment, that colleagues will look at the history rejected by the bush administration. now we have emergency authority, colleagues, for the government to get information when it needs it, after the fact, the government can come back and set

the f.b.i. has the resources and tools that they need to follow up properly when they have someone in their sights, like they had this terrorist. but the reality is, had he been on the list, like he had been previously before the investigation was closed, the f.b.i. would have been notified of his firearm purchase. on the floor today we have proposals to address whether terrorists should be allowed to purchase guns. make no mistake, mr. president, gun control won't stop terrorism. however, i think we can all agree that we do not want terrorists to purchase firearms. that, to me, seems -- with both of these competing proposals on the floor, that we do have some common ground, that terrorists should not be permitted to purchase firearms. unfortunately, where we find ourselves a our typical political football, though. and i believe we should stop playing political football with something so important. as a member of the armed services committee, i'm going to recommit myself -- and i hope everyone in

the f.b.i. the authority to deny guns to terrorist suspects. senate republicans rejected those commonsense measures earlier this year. we still have the chance to give law enforcement real and effective tools, strengthen our laws to make it easier to prosecute firearms traffickers and straw purchasers. i'm a gun owner, but i know that if i go in to buy a gun in vermont, even though the gun store owners have known me most of their life, i have to go through a background check. but you've got somebody who's got restraining orders against him, warrants outstanding against him, could have been convicted of heinous crimes, they could walk into a gun show with no background check and buy anything they want. we know also that they can go and buy always kinds of weapons to sell at a great profit to gangs, criminal gangs that couldn't buy them otherwise. and of course to those who commit terrorism and hate crimes. so we need to fund the f.b.i. and we need to fund the justice department so they have resour

the f.b.i.'s rod hopper is leading the investigation. >> the f.b.i. thoroughly investigated the matter including interviews of witnesses, physical surveillance and records checks. ultimately we were unable to verify the substance of his comments and investigation was closed. >> reporter: in 2014 he came to the f.b.i.'s attention again, this time because of ties to the first known american suicide bomber in syria. that man blew himself newspaper 2014. after that investigation, mateen was cleared again. >> we determined that contact was minimal. and did not constitute a substantive relationship or a threat at that time. >> reporter: mateen had been working as a security guard and with no record within the last week, he was able to purchase a handgun and the ar-15 assault rifle police believe he used to kill and injure more than a hundred people. the attack appeared well planned. mateen chose a soft target with few exits for his potential victims to escape. he exchanged gunfire with at least 14 police officers before he was shot to death. scott, in that 9

as we just heard from mike baker, he said the f.b.i. is following the law. the f.b.i. could not have done anything differently according to the book. is that your take? >> it is my take, and i would challenge anybody who suggests the f.b.i. is infected with political correctness. the justice department maybe, their boss. the decision to prosecute maybe. but not the manner in which the agents in the field gather information. particularly in national security cases. we are not talking about an unemployment case. we are talking about national security. somebody who is potentially a terrorist. i watched what jim comey said earlier today. we have perfect 20-20 hindsight which the f.b.i. did not have. there was insufficient evidence for them to move beyond where they were at the time they had the first encounter with him. but i will tell you where there should have been signals and that's his employer. it's not just any everyday employer. an employer with 600,000 employees and their client are the leading governments in the united states in the world including the federal gov

and the f.b.i. director said this week he's looked back at that, he doesn't think they could have done anything different. gwen: christi, one of the things the president said was that this was an act of terror and act of hate. the response to that is, but there's nothing that this man did that would have been able to be stopped. christi: right. and i think that that's -- the president, over time, has gotten good at noticing that those important and he wants to use them early on and he did manage to do that but he's also has learned it's a good idea to wait and not leap about whatons happened and i think that was on display on that first day. it turned out to be a very week for him but he and his speech writing staff learned to hit those marks. gwen: they go right to guns all the time and that doesn't change. and it'sthat's true very much the president driving that. i think we saw him turn a corner this week. often goes back to guns. he doesn't go so quickly to buttics as he did this week i think we'

the f.b.i. s found evidence that he may have researched disney world as a possible target before choosing the pulse nightclub. ( gunfire ) investigators say mateen had been inspired by extremists and the radicalization stretches back years to groups like hezbollah, al qaeda and isis. f.b.i. director james comey said mateen appeared to be self- radicalized. >> we see no indication that this was a plot directed from outside the united states, and we see no indication that he was part of any kind of network. >> reporter: mateen had been on the f.b.i.'s radar. in may 2013, coworkers complained that he was boasting of family connections to al qaeda and that he was a member of hezbollah. comey says he also expressed a desire to take his own life. >> he said he hoped that law enforcement would raid his apartment and assault his wife and child so that he could martyr himself. >> reporter: the f.b.i.'s investigation included wiretaps and informants and agents interviewed mateen twice. they cleared him aft

the f.b.i. interviewed him in 2014 but he wasn't deemed a threat. >> we processed 100 lead that were worked on by task force officers. the task force has been up and running since the beginning of this. our focus is to get the truth, to get it to you as quickly as we can. bill: there are horrible stories emerging inside from those who were there at the time inside the nightclub. >> there was screaming and blood splattering, i didn't know if it was minor somebody else's. >> the shooter -- >> after the second shot there was a pause, then it just started shooting, shooting, shooting, and i knew something was wrong. bill: police confirm 49 are dead. 48 have been identified. one still remaining. peter doocy is in the hospital in orlando with team coverage. phil keating is in fort pierce florida where the f.b.i. * has been searching the terrorist's home. is it wrapped up at that location or not? reporter: they left here at 6:30 in the morning. a normal, nondescript apartment door. f.b.i. agents were he

. director to talk more about the contacts the f.b.i. had with mateen. we know now this is something we've been reporting over the last 24 hours that there were two contact, two inquiries into his activities in 2013 and 2014. so we expect to get questions to the f.b.i. director about those contacts, the extent of them and why they weren't followed up upon allowing him before the attack to purchase weapons. >> glor: jeff, we're also learning more about mateen's travel as we watch the director of f.b.i. step in. let's take a listen. >> . >> all right good afternoon everybody, thank you all for being here today. we're here to discuss the justice department's response to this stunning and unconscionable acts in orlando. our hearts are broken for the unif fathomable losses the people have suffered and our thoughts and prayers continue to be with their families and loved ones. the full resources of the department of justice, which includes the f.b.i. and a.t.f., the national security division as well as the u.s. attorney's office and the middle district of geor

the f.b.i. to fight terrorism and funding designed to help defend against cybersecurity threats. chairman shelby and ranking member mikulski worked diligently to advance this bill out of committee and bring it to the floor. members should work with these bill managers if they have ideas they think would make the bill stronger. i mentioned some of them already. we've made important progress on appropriations bills so far this year. we can continue that progress this week and take further steps to keep our country safe from terrorism. the presiding officer: the democratic leader. mr. reid: throughout history in times of crisis and tragedy, the american people look to leaders for one thing -- leadership. americans don't want to hear excuses. we don't want to hear self-congratulations. we don't want to hear scapegoating. it's a very simple concept: we want our leaders to lead. in the aftermath of sunday's shooting at the pulse nightclub in orlando, florida, a place of celebration for the lgbt communi

i will not get ahead what the f.b.i. is doing, but if you have questions on a range of aspects of this particular situation i'm happy to do my best to try to answer them. but questions about the investigation will have to be directed to the f.b.i. so with that leadup, kevin, do you want to start? kevin: sure. thank you, josh. is the president resigned to the prospect that that these mass shootings in the united states are the new normal? is he resigned to the prospect that perhaps he's powerless? josh: not at all, kevin. i think the president is quite intensely frustrated we haven't seen the kind of congressional action that we know would have an impact on the ability of individuals to carry out these kinds of mass shootings. there is no one law we can pass that would prevent every aspect of violence, but there are some commonsense things that congress could do that would make it harder for individuals who should not have guns from being able to get them. there are certain commonsense things that congress could do that wo

malik says the f.b.i. ked about mateen again, but did contact him about the muslim community. was he ever there for teaching that would have been considered radical? >> absolutely not. these people that committed these acts have radicalized on their own, not through the mosque. >> i want to protect our citizens. >> reporter: malik has gone public with his story because of recent comments made by donald trump, who argues the muslim community isn't doing enough. >> there's a lot of stuff i believe without factual evidence. the f.b.i. is saying the complete opposite of what he says, that we do come forward and we help. i'm an example of that. i came forward and i tried to do the right thing. >> reporter: we also learned today omar mateen entered the pulse nightclub in orlando at least once before he started his massacre. scott, law enforcement sources tell us mateen got a wristband, which enabled him to come and go as he wanted. he left at one point, returned about two hours later and started shooting. >> pell

the f.b.i. transforming from fighting bank robbers to fighting isil and lone wolves. the bulk of the d.o.j. -- the department of justice -- counterterrorism funding is for the f.b.i. $3.5 billion to uncover and discover plots against america. we fund the joint terrorism task force where all the agencies work together in 104 cities. we make sure we have a watch listing through terrorist screening centers. individual investigations resulting in arrest for those who seek to join isil and syria. this legislation, this appropriations bill before you also funds something called the national security division. $95 million to make sure we have the prosecutors, the law enforcement and coordinated intelligence communities to make the case against terrorists. we fund the u.s. attorney's office at $51 million. and we also make sure when we catch the bad guys they go to the federal prison. and also we help local law enforcement to train and respond to the active shooter incidents. last year alone -- well, not

the f.b.i. also confirmed that omar mateen lived in fort pierce, florida, about 90 miles southeast of orlando. the f.b.i. also confirmed that it investigated mateen twice in the last two years, in it investigated mateen twice in the past few years, in 2013 for making inflammatory comments to co-workers, and in 2014, for alleged ties to a suicide bomber. both times, mateen was cleared. the f.b.i. confirmed mateen made a 9-1-1 call right before the shooting and talked about the islamic state group, or isis. >> there were 911 calls in which there was conversation between the subject and lawmght -- law enforcement representatives, 911 dispatchers. i have not listened to them, but it's my understanding it was general to the isis state. >> reporter: today, the isis news agency claimed responsibility for the attack, describing mateen as an islamic state fighter, but this claim has not been confirmed. police searched the van parked by the shooter outside the club. they did not find any explosive devices

the f.b.i. s you on its hawaii radar screen and you can't board an airplane because you are too dangerous, you shouldn't be able to buy a gun. that might have stopped this shooter from getting this gun. kennedy: just being named in an f.b.i. investigation is not enough to preclude you from legally buying a gun. as you remember in the heller supreme court case, a person has a natural right to own a gun. that's a natural right. that's not something priend by the government. and being on a terror list is such a nebulous and vague thing. there is no way of knowingq if or why you are on -- of knowing if or why you are on one. if you are a constitutionally protected natural right that requires due process, and there is no due process with the terror watchlist, there is the gap that you cited is such a massive disconnect, it tramples on basic civil liberties. >> first all, the heller decision was written by justice scalia. he said you have a right to own a gun in your home for self defense. he said you

but if we deny the f.b.i. director the number one legislative priority of the agency, as he's told us time and time again, most recently down in the sciff, in a secure facility, obviously that part is not classified but he said this is a very important tool. and if we're going to ask the f.b.i. and our counterterrorism authorities to connect the dots, well, they can't connect the dots unless they can collect the dots. and again, this is with proper and appropriate regard under the fourth amendment for american citizens when it comes to searches of their property or seizures. we know under the fourth amendment that there has to be a established probable cause that a crime has been committed, established before an impartial judge. we're not talking about the content. we are saying if there are enough dots to connect together to raise a reasonable suspicion on the part of our counterterrorism authorities, they ought to then have the opportunity to go to a judge and to get the content of that communication under ap

we haven't evolved quickly enough to change those requirements that the f.b.i. is under when it comes to the attorney general guidelines and the domestic investigation operation guidelines. those need to be modified. and they need to be modified so they can take a longer look at some of these individuals that may be terrorists. >> rose: you know, i mean, it is the basic question of journalism that everybody is looking here-- who, what, when, how, and when?" >> most definitelily. the f.b.i. can do three types of investigations, and it's about not violating u.s. citizens' civil liberties in this country. if they work this investigation, if they don't find this individual is an immediate threat and what they say, someone that is going to commit an act, do harm, or material support, and they don't have enough evidence in a period of time, and that period of time varies on what level of investigation it is-- it can go from 30 days to six months to a year. and if you don't find anything in that period of time, under the requirements and under the guidelines set down, t

but many are saying the f.b.i. dropped the investigation because he claimed there was muslim bias against him. is this the situation, when even a mountain of evidence point to a serious risk, it can all be wiped away by allegations of racism? >> the cia director testified there was no link age between this guy and isil. but this father is fairly politically active. he has an internet television sh that talks about afghanisn. we'll learn more in the days and coming weeks. charles: it seems enough to keep them on a watchlist and certainly they should not have had the right to buy a gun or work in a security capacity. potentially with military or establishment or u.s. embassies. >> there are so much factors here. so many failures on the part of those who were supposed to be keeping america safe. and i hate to say it, when you lookt the big holes in all of this, the gaps that occurred. you have to look at this administration and where its failures have been to attack the problem. we have two choices. we'll take it on as

if the f.b.i. had been notified, which they would if he was on the watch list, they could have escalated the investigation further and perhaps discovered enough evidence to take him off the streets. this is a similar proposal, the one that i offered back in december that garnered bipartisan support and received votes more than my colleagues on the other side of the aisle. we had 55 votes on a bipartisan majority on my amendment last december. this new amendment is a small tweak in modification but it's a plan that reflects input from all sides and it will stop terrorists from buying guns and it will provide a means to get them off the streets. but doing so in a way that ensures that an american citizen's constitutional rights will be respected. i think this just makes sense. i think it's pretty reasonable and it's a good starting point if we're trying to address the real threat of islamic extremism rearing its ugly head here at home. but as i mention more, we must do more than equip our law enforcem

after 9/11 the cia and f.b.i. he agencies need to work together to share information, more overtwhribs an ideological war going on here. there are two things here that need to be attacked. melissa: it sounds like what jessica is saying hillary clinton will keep on saying what's going on. >> we'll fix failures in our bureaucracy. the f.b.i. had to admit they had this man detained, the same with the tsarnaev brothers. so now we'll add another bureaucratic level. >> if you talk to people -- >> you might have sources at the f.b.i. but all you need to know are the facted reported as if. this is a war that largely is being out overseas. if we beat them there they are not going to be able to inspire people here to hurt us. melissa: when you look at the things both candidates say. putting together the task force and banning muslims from coming into the country. in this case neither of those things would have helped. so how do you sort through that and couple with a solution in it sounds like none of those things work. the

martha: the f.b.i. set to release the transcripts of the orlando shooter and police, but you will not hear the whole story. loretta lynch says they will edit out the reference to isis and his pledge of allegiance to isis. >> some of them are retreads of polled bills for universal background checks or the so-called gun show loophole. others are a little more related to the idea of a person who is or has been on the terror watchlist buying a gun. but it looks like they will be held to the 60-vote standard in the senate, meaning they will likely not get there. and in order to become law, they have to go through the house. >> your proposal would have done nothing in the case of orlando, would have done nothing to stop the killing in san bernardino. why are we focusing on things that have nothing to do with the massacres. >> we can't get into that trap. i disagree. if this proposal had been in effect it may have stopped this shooting. we can't get into the trap where we are forced to defend a proposal because

so, it makes it tough when you're in the f.b.i. in our intelligence, and you know the president will not call somebody a radical islamist. and i know our president was belittling those of us who said, it's important to recognize our enemy, own chairman of homeland security had said earlier today those very words. those are very important words. he said, we have to define our enemy to defeat it. he said, if this president won't define it, this body will. our bill that we passed today didn't define it at all. but it didn't mention the words or mic or radical islam jihad or muslim brotherhood or hamas or hezbollah or al qaeda or international caliphate or those who are more devoted to shari'a law than to our constitution, so that is a little bit of a problem. this article from the daily mail -- "the daily mail" has this as a summary, sadik mateen is the father of mass shooter omar mateen, 29. mateen sr. is an afghan man who hosts a show. the show has aired on youtube channel -- i'm not even going it say, anyway, he visited congress, th

the f.b.i.'s ron hopper is leading the orlando investigation. >> we are continuing to do interviews to see if there is anybody that was associated. whether that means they were involved in the planning or execution of this act, they will be brought to justice. >> reporter: authorities are digging into omar mateen's background. he worked as a security guard following the b.p. oil spill. when producers of a 2012 documentary spoke with him, he was skeptical of the cleanup effort. >> they're, like, hoping for more oil to come out and more people to complain so they'll have the jobs. they want more disaster to happen. >> reporter: according to his employer, g4s, mateen had his security officer license renewed four times, each time requiring a criminal background and f.b.i. check. he also had at least 28 hours for firearms training. records from september of 2007 he was a good shot. last saturday, mateen returned home after working in a gated community. later that night, he drove himself to the pulse n

they alerted the f.b.i. >> our intuition was correct. we were that close and law enforcement couldn't do anything. we tried to do the right thing and we got so close to it. but unfortunately he slipped through the cracks because of the lack of information we had. it was a simple call. he seemed odd and had drawn suspicion. abby: the store owner said they couldn't give the feds a name because they didn't make the sale. bill: democrats forcing a vote monday on four gun control measures. the amendments would beef up background checks. house speaker paul ryan warning lawmakers, don't take you're eye off the ball. >> we want to make sure we are not upon people's legitimate constitutional rights. that's important. and we want to make sure someone who is not supposed to get a gun, doesn't get a gun. this is a person who was radicalized by terrorists. he claimed it was by isis. we need to focus on the issue which is terrorism. meanwhile senators john mccain anand lyndsey graham slamming te president in the wake of the orlando attack. >> barack ob

the f.b.i. has released the call hept of a 9-1-1 made during a three-hour siege he made at the pulse nightclub. he spoke arabic, identified himself as an islamic soldier threatened to strap explosives to his hostages. the transcript does not show that he pledged allegiance to the islamic state. describedors have mateen as a mentally disturbed individual acting alone. of 49 and the shooter of 53 others identified islamic soldier who pledged allegiance to a onrorist organization bent killing americans. he does not represent the islam, but a perverted view, which based on what we know today was inspired extremist killers. we currently have no evidence directed by a foreign terrorist group but was domestically. laura: more now on how the presenting this new information. reporter: chosen words from the f.b.i. which is really seeking to reassure the general public, there is demonstrate genuine progress being made in this investigation. that person representing the federal bureau of investigation, the p

>> i offer you to the f.b.i. ngress can support us through a budget, through adequate funding to resource our efforts in law enforcement, in national defense, homeland security and i have been pleased with the bipartisan level of support that we have been receiving from ongress for things like t.s.a. reprogrammings. we got the sign from congress yesterday on that so we can keep the wait times down nationwide through converting part-time to full-time our t.s.o.'s and bringing more on. there is a role for congress to play in terms of ensuring our homeland security efforts are adequately funded. got to go. thank you. mr. jolly: i will tell you this is clear this is an individual who sought to be a terrorist and unfortunate. they were well aware of this individual. they had worked the case very hard, but obviously this is one that turned out with consequences that the nation will forever regret. this is someone who south to enact terror on the homeland. reporter: did they explain why? mr. jolly: you have to ask law en

the f.b.i. had investigated the killer for possible ties to terrific. omar mateen was on the terror watch list until the f.b.i. cleared him. it seems hard to justify, but people on that terror list are still allowed to buy weapons, and that has set off a debate that dean reynolds is covering. >> to be silenced, light and short. >> reporter: this advertisement highlights the assault weapon the orlando killer bought just 11 days ago, a sig sauer mcx. he bought it and a glock 17 pistol legally, even though he had been on and off the f.b.i. watch list for suspected terrorist twice, the last time in 2014. what's more, under current law, had he actually been on the watch list this month, no law would have automatically stopped him from making a purchase. that's because right now, the law bars felons, fugitives, illegal immigrants, or juveniles, for example, from buying guns, but not suspected terrorists. f.b.i. data show that people who were on the terror watch list last year were involved in background checks 244 times, and in 223 of those cases, the firearm
