The correct solution, of course, would be to place the burden of proof on the government as to why a person is on the no-fly list in the first place.  As long as we have a database that arbitrarily labels people as suspected terrorists and gives them no notification and limited means of appealing, a waiting period is pointless.  But I am extremely disappointed in Democrats for not offering any amendments to reform a list which disproportionately affects Arab Americans and builds on the same Orwellian security state that many of these same "progressives" claim to oppose.  This should not be an either/or problem.  Both parties deserve blame for giving these problems little acknowledgment.
This is the correct answer.  Fix the stupid list (like we should have done LAST year when this sh**t first came up) then nobody in their right mind would be against banning people on it from owning guns.  It's suspicious that nobody in the two parties have figured this out.

I really don't see what's hard, or why we shouldn't fix the stupid list(s).
