S. 34 –
This bill would allow the Attorney General to prohibit you from owning firearms by placing your name on a “watch list” and notifying you of that fact. The Attorney General doesn’t need to tell you (or a court to which you appeal your disability) the basis for the loss of your gun rights (other than summaries and “redacted” documents which can be submitted to the court). We have seen other statutes — notably the Brady Law — under which you are supposedly given the statutory right to appeal your gun ban, and our experience in those cases has been that ATF frequently just ignores them.
