| https://clyde.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=437 | CLYDE: Categorizing Firearm Sales Creates National Gun Registry | 2022-09-15 | 2022 | 2022-09 | Republican | House | GA | Andrew S. Clyde | C001116 | clyde.house.gov | clyde | https://clyde.house.gov/news/documentquery.aspx?DocumentTypeID=27 | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman Andrew Clyde (GA-09) released the following statement regarding plans by major credit card companies to separately categorize gun and ammunition retailers. “Targeting gun-related purchases is a direct affront to the Second Amendment and presents the latest unconstitutional attempt to undermine, attack, and vilify law-abiding gun owners. Furthermore, instituting a separate merchant category code for firearm transactions allows credit card companies to establish a national gun registry. Combined with the ATF’s illegal registry of nearly one billion firearm records, this unlawful data is a prerequisite for confiscation — permitting the weaponization and disarmament of gun owners across the nation. “As an unapologetic supporter and defender of Second Amendment liberties, I refuse to silently stand by while corporations shamelessly do the bidding of anti-gun activists. In the near future, I will introduce legislation to safeguard Americans’ constitutionally protected firearm purchases from corporations’ tyrannical tracking measures.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:08:33Z |
