Gun Owner Registration Information Protection Act

The Gun Owner Registration Information Protection Act would prevent the federal government from providing financial support or assistance to state-level databases designed to list firearms owned by individuals or to identify who owns firearms. This applies only to lawfully owned or possessed firearms and lawfully registered gun owners.

If enacted, this bill would restrict how federal funds could be used in relation to gun owner registration systems at the state level. The practical effect would be to limit federal involvement in or support for state efforts to maintain comprehensive registries of gun owners and their weapons. The bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process and has been referred to the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs for consideration.
