Four lies the media has been telling you since the Orlando attack

1) The Terror Watch List is made up of shady foreigners:

The question they like to ask, exemplified by Chris Matthews of MSNBC, is ‘why would you want to protect the gun rights of people who aren’t citizens and therefore not protected by the constitution anyway?’

A total ruse. In fact, getting on a list is not that hard, as Stephen Hayes of the Weekly Standard and Fox News found out when he was put on the list because he went on a cruise. The ACLU reports that people are put on watch lists erroneously all the time. Even Department of Homeland Security employees are a list; 72 of them.

There are reportedly nearly 94,000 people on these lists who are United States citizens. That’s a whole lot of people to take constitutional freedoms away from without a hearing or even any sort of proceeding at all.
