Yesterday, the Georgia Senate Committee on Banking and Financial Institutions unanimously passed House Bill 1018. This important bill protects sportsmen’s credit card purchase privacy rights in the Peach State. HB 1018 is now eligible to be heard on the Senate floor any day.
As previously reported, HB 1018 prohibits a financial entity from using a firearms merchant category code to distinguish a firearms retailer from other retailers thus preventing firearms, firearms accessories, and ammunition from being specifically singled out purchases with a credit card. It also prohibits persons or government entities from keeping registries of firearms or owners of firearms.
Please use the Take Action button to email your state Senator urging him/her to support sportsmen by voting “Yes” on HB 1018.
Remember to share this alert with your family, friends, and fellow sportsmen. Ask them to email their state Senators urging them to support HB 1018.
