In a similar fashion, using the "no-fly list" to prevent people from obtaining a gun is flawed. Virtually any of the federal agencies can arbitrarily put someone on the list and it is extremely difficult to get one removed from the list. If any new gun restriction law would have built-in protections to guarantee an individual their due process rights, more people might be in favor of it. The Democratic version has no such provision, effectively saying that if you end up on the "no-fly list", tough luck dude - even if you are innocent. That is what is so objectionable.
