[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]My understanding of the current proposals on guns is that they're trying to thread the needle between blocking suspected terrorists' access to guns, versus allowing the FBI to maintain some secrecy for its watch list. [i]And obviously, most Republicans in Congress are just trying to water them all down as much as possible, or block them entirely, to ensure complete and total access to guns anywhere and anytime.[/i] [/quote]

PP again.  I just want to add to this point to make sure it's accurate.  Most Republicans in Congress oppose further gun restriction.  But Donald Trump apparently agrees with me that preventing people on the no-fly list from getting guns is a no-brainer.  [/quote]
But the questions stand: 
1. Who exactly gets to put you on that list?
2. For what reasons?
3. Who can take you off?
4. And for what reasons?
[/quote]

I think I did answer those questions in my longer post ...

1. Law enforcement agencies like FBI or DHS can put someone on the list.
2. They put a person on if there's a "reasonable suspicion" he is involved in terrorist activities.
3. Law enforcement agencies like FBI or DHS can take someone off the list.
4. They take a person off the list if they determine there's no longer any "reasonable suspicion" he is involved in terrorist activities.

The Democratic proposal might allow for an additional way to get off the list - by forcing the government to bring its "reasonable suspicion" evidence to a federal judge.[/quote]
