Bill > S34

This bill, the Denying Firearms and Explosives to Dangerous Terrorists Act of 2013, grants the Attorney General the authority to deny the transfer of firearms or the issuance of licenses for firearms and explosives to individuals who are known or reasonably suspected of being involved in terrorism, or providing material support for terrorism, and who the Attorney General believes may use such items in connection with terrorism. The bill amends existing federal law to create new provisions allowing for these denials, and also allows the Attorney General to withhold certain information related to these denials from individuals if disclosure would compromise national security, while still permitting courts to review summaries or redacted versions of such information. The legislation also includes provisions for the Attorney General to issue guidelines on how this authority will be exercised, ensuring accountability and safeguarding privacy and civil liberties.
