…Oh really? What about when President Obama spoke on the need to prevent American citizens on the no-fly list who haven’t been indicted or formally accused of any crime from buying a gun? We only ask because CAIR has sued the government numerous times over Muslims on the no-fly list and has made some pretty ugly charges against the administration.
Here are 30 examples, but there are dozens and dozens more:
