There are a number of legal reasons a non citizen should be able to buy a firearm. Foreign hunters, Permanent resident aliens, and so on. That however is nothing in regards to the no-fly or terrorist watch list. Imagine he abuse certain parties might enjoy performing when suddenly you can deny someone a constitutional right without due process by simply adding their name to a secret list with a secret process. What if the president decides to issue an executive order that says multiple gun purchases in two years or getting a license to carry is grounds to be added to the list because terrorists would want to do that in order to better facilitate their efforts... However imagine that the president is caught up in an election year and rather than issue such a directive himself his secretary of homeland defense issues the directive for him. Or maybe it's the director of the FBI, or perhaps the director of the ATF, or maybe its the person in charge of maintaining the NICS database, or perhaps ... Who knows because the public has exactly no clue who has the authority to establish the criteria for being added to the watch list(s). We have seen Elected officials and babies denied the right to fly because of this list, keep in mind that many gun control activists hold the idea that all gun owners are a bunch of revolutionaries and potential terrorists simply because they have guns.
