There were two bills dealing with the no fly list. The one you list here was the Democrat bill that included no procedure for due process for anyone wrongly put on the no fly list.
Feinstein as usual far exceeded the limits of rational thought. She wanted to deny a gun sale to anyone on the list or anyone who was not on the list but had been on the list within the last 5 years.
The Republican bill was similar, but included protection for due process to get off the list. If anyone claimed that they did not belong on the list, the DOJ had 72 hours to present evidence to a judge justifying inclusion on the list. That one was killed by the Democrats.
