72 hours is the delay that's already in place for NICS checks that are kicked back. I think this is reasonable, and puts the burden of proof on the govt to get a warrant, not on the citizen wrongly added to the list to prove their innocence.

...If I understand the bill correctly...
while not ideal this at least calls for due process and going before a judge to rule. though it will probably end up flooding the court systems which are already overloaded.
