  • "I strongly support the 2nd Amendment. However, it is common sense to ban suspected terrorists on the FBI "No-Fly" List from buying firearms or explosives. Mike Bost’s extreme position would make America less safe by allowing terrorists banned from flying to purchase as many guns and explosives as they would like. Mike Bost needs to explain why it isn’t cowardly of Republicans to recess the House without voting on this issue." (www.cjforcongress.com)
