State Sen. Jill Carter, a Republican from Granby, presented legislation to a Senate committee Monday that would create the “Second Amendment Financial Privacy Act.”
The bill prohibits government entities from keeping a list, record or registry of privately-owned firearms. Records may be kept during a criminal investigation and prosecution on gun ownership. It also prohibits credit card networks from using a merchant category code to distinguish firearm sales from any other sale.
“This bill draws a clear line,” Carter said at the hearing. “Lawful gun ownership must never be treated as inherently suspicious.”
Kentucky, Tennessee and Iowa passed similar laws in 2024 banning the use of unique merchant category codes for firearms.
Darren LaSorte from the National Shooting Sports Foundation spoke in favor of the bill and its ability to prevent citizens from being investigated for purchasing firearms and equipment at a gun store.
“This is stuff that if I talked about seven years ago, you’d throw me in a padded room and call me a conspiracy theorist,” LaSorte said. “It’s happening now, and what this bill does is simply prohibits it from happening in the state of Missouri.”
If passed in Missouri, the attorney general could investigate anyone suspected of violating these laws and provide a 30-day notice. If changes are not made, the attorney general can file a lawsuit against the violator. Violators can receive a civil penalty of up to $1,000.

DeleteYou'd think he'd have better things to do...but you'd be an idiot to think like that!
Ok we got some jibberish here, and some tRUMPs in ther epstein files a bajillion times there, now we just need someone to bring up how we need to get rid of guns because death would somehow go away if we got rid of all guns.
DeletetRUMP's name is in the Epstein files a million times, but there's nothing for the blind magats to see...
ReplyDeleteDear Anonymous 852AM you apparently didn’t see those news items about the gun deaths in New Zealand, Singapore, Canada…today in a school in BC and also before in other territories, the UK, and countries in Europe. I’m not disagreeing with you completely but my point is it doesn’t matter if guns in foreign countries are outright banned there’s still gun deaths. Yes, other countries do have gun deaths even where guns have to be registered and where they’re basically banned. I’m not particularly fond of guns but I do know we will have gun deaths whether this passes or not.
ReplyDelete939, man, you all are too easy to troll. I appreciate that you can see there will still be gun deaths no matter the legality. There will also still be deaths in general, knife deaths, "trucks of peace" deaths, bomb deaths, etc. People will always find a way to kill.
Delete630, OMG! You are SO wise and insightful! I have a tear in my eye because YOU are so inspiring! A small, simple question for you: Aside from Ukrain, what is the most violent and death by gunfire country on earth? Secondly, what is the leading cause of death to American children? You might want to crawl out of your magat hole and see the truth that your Faux News propaganda station won't report. Try this troll for breakfast!
Delete343, you are hardly a troll, you are what we call an NPC suffering from TDS. Trump and Fox live rent free in your head, you are entrapped in the left vs right paradigm, MSM has you on puppet strings. Your IQ is too low to understand that there are people out there who live outside of your bubble. People that have the ability to criticize Trump as well as troll brain dead leftists.
DeleteYou NPCs are so incredibly ignorant that you believe deaths will go away if every gun is confiscated, as if there aren't a hundred other ways for people to kill themselves or each other. Have you ever seen video of mass stabbings? You'd be surprised at how many people one person can kill with a simple knife. How about individuals that ram vehicles into large groups of people, that tends to take out more people than most mass shootings as well. Do you think children don't kill themselves in countries where guns are illegal? Like you even care about children, I guarantee you are pro abortion.
Did you know that guns save around 300,000 up to a couple million lives every single year in this country? Uh oh, that's more lives saved than taken, shoot that doesn't help your side either...
You better go back to facebook where it's safe from people with actual facts.
More redundant red colored "blah" coming from 736. Boring!
