In December 2015 Brown co-sponsored a bill in Congress that would restrict ISIS 's financing by authorizing new sanctions on foreign financial institutions that knowingly facilitate financial transactions with ISIS . The bill called for tightening international passport regulations and additional screening of persons attempting to enter the U.S. on certain types of visas . The bill would also provide grants to local law enforcement agencies to train for active shooter situations and terrorist attacks and to conduct cyber-training to identify and track extremists such as the couple behind the 2015 San Bernardino attack . Brown also called for banning those on the no fly list from purchasing assault weapons
