Gun Owner Registration Information Protection Act
A bill to prohibit Federal funding of State firearm ownership databases, and for other purposes.
This bill, SB3916, aims to prevent the federal government from funding any state database that collects information on firearm ownership. If passed, this law would stop the federal government from providing financial support to states that maintain records on who owns firearms.
The bill would affect state governments that currently use federal funds to create and maintain databases tracking firearm ownership. By prohibiting this funding, the bill intends to protect the privacy of gun owners and limit the scope of government data on firearms.
Currently, the bill is in its early stages, having just been introduced and referred to the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. It has not yet been scheduled for a hearing or further action. The primary sponsor is Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith, with multiple co-sponsors from the Republican party.
