Just a few minutes ago Senator Susan Collins introduced her “compromise” proposal for the “No Fly No Buy” legislation that Democrats have been demanding in the wake of the Orlando shooting. A white paper on the legislation is available here, but in general it provides a mechanism for the automatic denial of any NICS checks for people whose names appear on the much smaller “no fly” and “selectee” lists compared to the combined “terrorist watchlist.” Sen. Collins crafted into the legislation a way for those who receive such a denial to appeal that decision, and any person who fights the denial and wins would have their legal fees refunded. The full proposal is still yet to be posted, but following the introduction of the legislation the Democrats ended their sit-in protest on the floor of the House of Representatives possibly telegraphing that this proposal has their approval.
