[Still Thinking]

It's not a registration thing [yet]. They're proposing to add the fact that a person is on the terror watch list that gets you extra scrutiny when flying, as a reason to reject a NICS check when buying a weapon.

Not in favor, just clarifying.

“They're proposing to add the fact that a person is on the terror watch list that gets you extra scrutiny when flying, as a reason to reject a NICS check when buying a weapon.”

The proposal is much, much more than that. The above is merely the “selling point” for the proposed legislation, which bans both buying firearms and explosives and possession of guns as well as making all “instant checks” a permanent record. The “watch” list is much larger than the “no fly list”. I've seen estimates that the “watch list” is about a million people.
