That was my reaction while reading his letter, even before seeing your comment. A terrorist watch list is not a conviction before a judge and jury. There is no due process in the process of putting a name on a terrorist watch list. To use that as the basis for denying anyone the constitutionally guaranteed right to the tools of self-defense is just plain wrong, legally and morally.
If someone is such a threat to the people of the United States that we can't allow them to buy a gun -- why are we allowing them to walk on our streets?
