W.H. on No-Fly List: ‘Common Sense We’ll Also Deprive You of Your Right To Buy a Gun’

‘— Until such time as you’ve been able to satisfy any concerns that the federal government has about your links to terrorism’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
GARRETT: "And how do you respond to those who believe that there are if not serial inaccuracies on that no fly list there, are enough inaccuracies on that list that that must be corrected before you can have a law of the kind that president now suggesting. And I understand the Bush Administration also proposed it. It's not a new idea. I just like you to address that." 
EARNEST: "The United States federal government has made enhancements to the DHS traveler inquiry program, this is essentially the way if people believe they are wrongly included on the no fly list, that they can go through the process of having their name cleared. So there is a process established here. But here is the other thing about this. If the government has determined that this the interests of national security that we will deprive you of your rights to board an airplane like anybody else, I think it's common sense that we will also deprive you of your right to buy gun just like everybody else until such time as you've been able to satisfy any concerns the federal government has about your links to terrorism."
