Protecting Gun Owners' Privacy: Less Data in Government Databases

New rules aim to limit the collection and storage of gun owners' personal data by federal agencies. This means less information about gun purchases will enter government databases, and existing data not needed for ongoing investigations should be destroyed. The goal is to enhance the privacy of legal gun owners.
Key points
Federal agencies cannot store new gun transaction records unless needed for an ongoing criminal investigation.
Existing gun transaction data not required for current investigations must be destroyed.
Forms for multiple firearm sales and other transaction records cannot include personal identifying information of the buyer.
