Is your position that someone on the FBI's terrorist watch list be allowed to purchase guns? Or that they should have a court hearing to determine if their gun rights should be revoked? Or what?

I agree that the mentally ill need much more help than they currently get.

I don't agree that "making the mentally ill ineligible makes more sense than making those on the terrorist watch list ineligible." Few mentally ill people are dangerous. By definition, someone on the terrorist watch list is considered dangerous.
