before any linkage between the Terrah Watch Lists and the NICS background check system, it will first be necessary to tear up the TWLs and in their place mandate the creation of a new list which:

1) ONLY allows the placement of a name on the list following a presentation before a federal judge/magistrate to ensure proper due process is accorded the accused,
2) requires notification of the person placed on that list,
3) there must be a due process method of legally appealing/contesting that placement,
4) this list must be open and transparent to the public,
5) all placements on that list must be subject to review and renewal by presentation before a federal judge/magistrate not less than every 5 years.

Until these reforms are passed into law and implemented should these lists be linked to the NICS background check system and be used to deny the civil liberties and 2nd Amendment rights of a US citizen.
