Hang on a second with the outrage, folks, and read the bill:

It looks like you have to be identified as a known or suspected terrorist on some (possibly secret) list, not merely be on a list. Am I missing something?

Thanks for the time out,

I've only caught this issue in my peripheral, but I don't believe the Bill is intended to be as onerous as this conversation would indicate. If I'm not mistaken, the Bill is simply addressing the time frame for certain information to exist in the data base.
Where once the data - and therefore being on the 'list' - was deleted after a shorter period of time, it is now proposed to stay on record for the ten-year period. I think that right now some of the 'Intelligence Community' data is expunged in as little as ten days after the background check is made.
Other than that, I not sure anything more sinister has been inflicted onto the gun purchase process. Please advise if you see it otherwise.
