Protecting Purchase Privacy: Banning Special Codes for Firearm Retailers

New rules aim to protect citizen privacy by preventing the tracking of firearm purchases through special transaction codes. This means gun stores will be treated the same as general merchandise or sporting goods retailers in payment systems, making it harder to identify specific firearm purchases.
Key points
No special codes for gun stores: Firearm retailers will not be required to use codes that distinguish them from other general or sporting goods stores.
Purchase privacy: Your firearm-related transactions will not be easily identifiable as such by payment systems.
Enforcement: The Attorney General will be responsible for enforcing these rules and handling complaints.
No private lawsuits: You cannot personally sue a company for violating these rules, but you can file a complaint with the Attorney General.
