A firm no fly means no, not under any circumstances. Right after 9/11, my husband, who flew quite a lot for business, was put on a list that limited your ability to get a boarding pass. He would have to go in each time and always they let him fly but with more checks. We could not figure out why except he has an Irish sounding name and maybe it related to past, similar IRA terrorist names. At that time, Ted Kennedy was also on that list. If this proposed ban on buying guns relates to the firm no-fly and FBI terrorist watch lists, it would make sense. If it's vague and overly broad, with no way to get off (he couldn't back then because there were so many and they didn't have to have a reason. It was though more an inconvenience than a ban.)Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.com
