A no-fly list is probable cause for denying someone a right to bear arms.

There have been many rights established with and without a justification clause. The justification clause has nothing to do with it.

Again, the definition of militia includes all males of military age, with certain exceptions such as workers at shipyards and post offices that help the war effort by their normal work. It does not exclude felons or the mentally incompetent.

One who is a felon or one mentally incompetent can potentially lose a right, but one should use due process. The no fly list does not use due process, and should not be used to remove rights.
