But, you or I could be immedately hauled in and detained without charge or trial if we have donated money to a charity that the U.S. has placed on its list of terrorist funders, whether we are aware of any such funding or not.Dozens of terror suspects on federal watch lists were allowed to buy firearms legally in the United States last year, according to a Congressional investigation that points up major vulnerabilities in federal gun laws.
People suspected of being members of a terrorist group are not automatically barred from legally buying a gun, and the investigation, conducted by the Government Accountability Office, indicated that people with clear links to terrorist groups had regularly taken advantage of this gap.
