This bill stops credit card companies and payment processors from using special codes to identify gun stores. It also overrides any state or local laws that require such codes. The Attorney General would enforce the ban and handle complaints.

Gun buyers and gun store owners are affected. The bill aims to keep purchase data private, but critics worry it could make it harder to track suspicious gun sales.
