I understand that being on the watchlist doesn't make one guilty of a crime.
But, neither does being court-declared mentally ill or being dishonorably discharged from the military; yet those individuals cannot legally purchase firearms because they're deemed a high risk to public safety.
You'd think being suspected of terrorist activity/proclivity would be considered as great or greater risk. At least, I would.
Still, any U.S. resident/citizen or visitor from one of the 38 visa waiver countries can buy firearms without restriction if their background check clears.
