Ban on Government Payments to Companies Tagging Gun Retailers

This act aims to prevent government agencies from using the SmartPay payment system to contract with companies that use special codes for gun retailers. This means payment processing companies that implement such codes will be unable to provide services to the government under this program. The goal is to protect citizens' gun rights by avoiding financial discrimination against gun retailers.
Key points
The U.S. government cannot pay companies that use special codes for gun-related transactions.
The change aims to support gun retailers and protect gun ownership rights.
Applies only to new contracts, not existing ones.
