Indiana’s Gov. Eric Holcomb and Utah’s Gov. Spencer Cox recently stepped up for gun owners. They signed the Second Amendment Privacy Acts, supported by NSSF (National Shooting Sports Foundation). These new laws stop banks and financial firms from tracking legal firearm and ammo sales using a special code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week saw the laws come into effect \u2013 Indiana’s HB 1084 <\/a>and Utah’s HB 406<\/a>. NSSF played a key role, working with local lawmakers. Their goal? To shield legal, private gun purchases from misuse. These laws aim to keep your gun buying details safe from political misuse and illegal government prying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NSSF’s Senior VP, Lawrence G. Keane, highlighted the urgency. He stressed the need to protect lawful gun and ammo buys from overreach by corporate banks and the government. Keane thanked both governors for guarding citizen rights. “No American should fear a government watchlist for exercising their Second Amendment rights,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The U.S. Treasury’s FinCEN crossed the line, admitted U.S. Sen. Tim Scott. They unlawfully collected credit card histories of gun buyers around Jan. 6, 2020, without a warrant. This violated the Fourth Amendment, which guards against illegal searches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea for a special firearm-retailer code originated with antigun columnist Andrew Ross Sorkin<\/a> and Amalgamated Bank<\/a>. They pushed the ISO for this code’s creation. This move sparked NSSF’s call for a Congressional probe into the bank’s actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sorkin himself suggested that such a code could lead to a national firearm registry, which current federal law prohibits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indiana and Utah now join a growing list of states like Florida and Texas, prioritizing Second Amendment privacy. More states are looking to follow suit. On a national level, Rep. Elise Stefanik introduced a bill to protect buyer privacy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, California goes the opposite direction, mandating the use of this specific code, with Colorado possibly following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
