This going to really do anything?

PERSONALLY, I'm all for a rather common sense no selling to someone on the list as a general concept...but there needs to be some way of appealing your name being on the list. I know a lot of people who get flagged because they share a name with someone or are otherwise on the list erroneously.

It might lead to some muscle soreness.

Pointless until the list itself is improved. Ted Kennedy was on it for years (and, although I really dislike his politics, that is no reason to have him on a terror watch list). Remember what that list is for, and what it is now trying to be used for - very different functions.

Make a new list - no gun sales list - and set up a way for people to appeal being on it. Then let anybody convicted of a crime be put on it automatically, and allow law enforcement to add people to it as well (must have a reason people are added, though), and as long as there is a fairly direct and non-complicated way people can appeal - sounds good.
