                NO-FLY LIST AND SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS

  (Mr. LaMALFA asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LaMALFA. Mr. Speaker, well, they are at it again. Earlier this 
year we saw the administration work to deny veterans because they may 
be on an arbitrary list for having sought financial help services, be 
threatened as incompetent to exercise gun ownership rights.
  Now, with the left seeking any excuse to deny Second Amendment rights 
to Americans, there is much effort underway to use a no-fly list or 
even a selectee list to not only deny travel and flight rights to 
falsely listed American citizens with little or no due process to 
remove one's name from that list, but to extend denial of gun ownership 
rights as well.
  The no-fly list can and should be a good tool for protecting against 
terror strikes, but needs criteria revision for a due process for those 
that have been wrongly listed to have an open chance to face their 
accusation.
  As it is now, First, Fourth, and Fifth, let alone now the Second, 
Amendment constitutional protections are in danger of being denied for 
those citizens that are falsely listed because their name sounds like 
the name of someone actually who bears being watched or, in the hands 
of an aggressive gun control administration, the use of IRS-type 
tactics against people the powers that be don't like.
  Such lists are dangerous to basic liberty. Let's first fix the 
process for how the no-fly list tool is used and revised before adding 
more restrictions, ones that would not have even captured the San 
Bernardino shooters, to this list being added, the Democrat gun control 
Christmas or holiday period list.
