WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, commends Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee for signing into law SB 2223, the Second Amendment Privacy Act. This NSSF-supported law protects the privacy and sensitive financial information of people purchasing firearms and ammunition in The Volunteer State. With Tennessee, there are now 13 states with laws that protect the Second Amendment financial privacy of their citizens.
The law prohibits financial institutions from requiring the use of a firearm code, also known as a Merchant Category Code (MCC), from being assigned to firearm and ammunition purchases at retail when using a credit card. The law also forbids discriminating against a firearm retailer as a result of the assigned or non-assignment of a firearm code and disclosing the protected financial information. Additionally, the law prohibits keeping or causing to be kept any list, record or registry of private firearm ownership.
WE NEED MORE STATES TO GET ON BOARD!
