Protecting Purchase Privacy: Banning Special Codes for Firearm Retailers.
This law aims to protect the privacy of individuals purchasing firearms and ammunition. It prohibits payment networks and transaction processors from using unique codes that specifically identify gun retailers, distinguishing them from general merchandise or sporting goods stores. This ensures that your legal purchases of firearms are treated the same as buying general sporting goods in payment systems, making transaction tracking more difficult.

Gun store transactions must be categorized under general merchandise or sporting goods codes, enhancing financial privacy.
The Act overrides (preempts) any conflicting state or local laws regarding these merchant codes.
