Banning people from guns based on the no-fly list clearly violates the 5th Amendment in order to violate the 2nd Amendment.
If you are against the idea that the government can ban you from posting on Twitter or Facebook because you are on the no-fly list, and if you respect justice and the rule of law, you must also be against putting people on the no-fly list on the "no-buy" list.
The Fifth Amendment requires that your liberty not be taken away by government without due process. You have a constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms, which necessarily includes the right to legally buy a gun. The government cannot take that right (or any other right) away, without going to court and providing evidence that demonstrates that you should have your right taken away from you.

"It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt."
