Overview
This bill aims to prevent the federal government from providing funding or support to state databases that track gun owners or firearms. It specifically prohibits federal agencies from supporting databases that list individuals who legally own firearms or the firearms themselves. However, the bill does not restrict states from maintaining databases of lost or stolen firearms. The goal is to limit the expansion of gun ownership tracking by states.
Key provisions
- Prohibits federal funding for state firearm ownership databases.
- Defines a ‘State firearm ownership database’ as a record of gun owners or firearms.
- Excludes databases listing lost or stolen firearms from the prohibition.
- Applies to all states and U.S. territories.
- Addresses funding and support, not just database creation.
