In the wake of the terrorist attacks in Paris, and the ongoing hunt for other armed terrorists across Europe, many are asking how terrorists are getting AK-47 assault rifles into France, which has very restrictive gun-control laws in place. Meanwhile, the media is again talking about a 2010 GAO (U.S. Government Accountability Office) report that found that 1,119 people on the U.S. “Terrorist Watch List” were able to buy guns or explosives from U.S. gun dealers between February 2004 and February 2010. As the media often jumps over sober explanations or misunderstands issues related to guns altogether, here are the facts behind both concerns.
