Maggie Hassan says ISIS advertises lax U.S. gun laws [View all]

As gun policy takes a central role in New Hampshire’s U.S. Senate race, Democrat Maggie Hassan is warning that terrorists are trying to exploit federal laws to obtain firearms.

Hassan brought up the point in the first televised debate against Republican incumbent Kelly Ayotte.

"With her solution, terrorists can still today — and by the way ISIS knows it, they have been advertising it — buy guns online and at gun shows in the United States of America," Hassan said on the debate stage at New England College.

Is it really a point terrorists are spreading? Let’s look.

PolitiFact has already looked into Hassan’s claim that Ayotte voted against a proposal to expand background checks and found it Mostly True.

Maggie Hassan is the Governor of New Hampshire, and is the Democratic US Senator Elect from that state. She is a realistic supporter of gun control, and is a voice for sanity in the war on gun violence in this country.

Gun huggers steadfastly claim that it is impossible for "prohibited persons" to buy guns online, or at gun shows. That is an inconvenient truth that the Second Amendment absolutist delicate flowers try to ignore, but can't hide.
