Congressman Young has consistently voted against efforts to keep known and suspected terrorists from purchasing firearms.

In fact, he voted 23 times against the opportunity to bar known or suspected terrorists—those on the FBI’s Terrorist Watch or No-Fly lists—from purchasing firearms. He’s allowed people who are too dangerous to fly the ability to buy a gun.
