Pelosi: ‘91% of All Suspected Terrorists Who Tried to Buy a Gun’ in America, Got One (CNSNews)

 During her weekly press conference today on Capitol Hill, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), in addressing the mass shooting in California, said that “91% of all suspected terrorists who tried to buy a gun a store in America,” were able to do so.

“In the past 10 or 11 years, more than 2,000 terror suspects have bought guns in the U.S.,” said Pelosi. “91% of all suspected terrorists who tried to buy a gun in a store in America, walked away with his or her weapon of choice.”

“We must close this outrageous loophole,” she said. “Three times this week, Republicans overwhelmingly voted to protect terror suspects’ ability to buy lethal firearms. The most recent time within the last hour, on our motion associated with the rule.”
