WY: Firearms Privacy on the Line – Stop Credit Card Tracking

Firearms Privacy Is On The Line – Stop Credit Card Tracking

The 2024 Wyoming Legislature is considering two competing bills claiming to stop the tracking of your firearms purchases.

HB0182 Provides Real Protections

HB0182, sponsored by Representative Allemand (R – Natrona County), and co-sponsored by 38 other members of the Wyoming Legislature, is a REAL FIREARMS PRIVACY PROTECTION BILL.

THIS SIMPLE PRO-GUN BILL lumps firearms purchases made by credit cards into the same category as other “general merchandise” or “sporting goods” at the point of sale.

This bill will make it impossible for financial companies or government authorities to determine if a purchase involves a firearm, sporting item, or simple general merchandise.

BEWARE OF 2024 ELECTION YEAR FAKES!

While Representative Allemand’s HB0182 represents real protections, many of the same forces that killed a similar bill in Committee last year are attempting to run an alternative to HB0182 this year.

Representative Barry Crago [R] from Buffalo is running HB0151 that actually does nothing to protect your privacy.

HB0151 leaves loopholes for the establishment of registries and loopholes for violators who make “good faith” decisions to establish firearms tracking.

The loopholes in Crago’s bill could allow companies to track your firearms purchases, and “Woke” anti-gun companies can report those purchases to both state and local authorities and/or discriminate against businesses that sell firearms.

It is time we demand House members take real action to protect your privacy and Second Amendment Rights!

PLEASE click here and contact your Representatives today. 

Ask your Legislators to support HB0182 which has an almost unprecedented number of sponsors (39 total), and insist that the Legislators vote down HB0151 which does nothing to protect our privacy.

Demand real protections for the privacy of your firearms purchases.

GOA will work hard to advance this legislation without weakening amendments, and we will keep you informed about all issues impacting YOUR RIGHTS during this Session!

Be on the lookout for more ALERTS from GOA in the coming days as we monitor the 2024 Wyoming Legislative Session and continue to fight to protect the Second Amendment!
