Gun Owner Registration Information Protection Act
To prohibit Federal funding of State firearm ownership databases, and for other purposes.
This bill aims to stop the federal government from providing funds to states for creating or maintaining databases that track firearm ownership. It is sponsored by a group of Republican representatives led by Paul Gosar. The bill was introduced and referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary on the same day, February 25, 2026. This means it is currently under review by the committee, which will decide its next steps.
If passed, this bill would impact states by preventing them from receiving federal funds to create or keep databases that record who owns firearms. This could affect how states manage and monitor firearm ownership information. The intent behind this bill is to protect the privacy of gun owners by limiting the collection and storage of such personal data at the state level.
As of now, the bill is in its initial stages, having been introduced and referred to a House committee. No further action has been taken yet, and the bill's future progress will depend on the committee's review and recommendations.
