Where in the C.F.R. are the regulations that control who the gov't can put on the watch list, the process the gov't must follow in so doing, and the process for appealing a person's placement on said list?

Nice instrument for terrorists to discover if they are being watched, eh?

"We're sorry Abdul, but your NICS came back with a denial because you are on the Terrorists watch list. You might want to check with New York Mayor Bloomberg. He makes illegal straw purchases, so He's got people who can hook you up."

Leave it to the Evil Mummy Lautenberg to create an arbitrary mechanism for which there is no appeal to prevent the excercise of arms.

If this were to pass, I'd expect a web form for folks to place people's names on the suspect list to follow shortly.

There are certainly citizens on the watch list, but I'd think it safe to assume that most are foreigners without green cards and would fail an instant check anyway.

People on the list have generally not been convicted of anything.

People on the list have generally not even been charged with anything.

The Dem Cong get all in a lather about .gov listening to phone conversations of people on the list, and then they come out and push for this? Disgusting!

I envision the automatic placement of gun owner's on the watch list.

Smacks of Fifth Amendment problems here.
