Lol, they're just doing the Republicans work for them.  Government shut down? Success!

What government shutdown?  Or are you talking out your ass again?

The correct solution, of course, would be to place the burden of proof on the government as to why a person is on the no-fly list in the first place.  As long as we have a database that arbitrarily labels people as suspected terrorists and gives them no notification and limited means of appealing, a waiting period is pointless.  But I am extremely disappointed in Democrats for not offering any amendments to reform a list which disproportionately affects Arab Americans and builds on the same Orwellian security state that many of these same "progressives" claim to oppose.  This should not be an either/or problem.  Both parties deserve blame for giving these problems little acknowledgment.

The Cornyn bill does place the burden of proof on the government.. It has 72 hours to present the proof.  It not, the person in question can purchase the gun.

But is their name expunged from terrorist watch lists entirely, or are they merely given the right to buy a gun?

It really is surprising to see the Democrats turn so Islamophobic all of a sudden.  I thought they were better than that!

Eh?

"No-Fly, No-Buy" is basically, "Muslim? No-Buy"

Glad to know you suddenly care about Muslims.
