On Thursday, May 2nd, the New Hampshire Senate held floor votes on House Bill 1186, “relative to firearm purchaser’s privacy”. Thanks to the strong support of NRA members and Second Amendment supporters, the New Hampshire Senate passed this critical legislation. HB 1186 will now return to the House for concurrence after the Senate added a minor amendment. The NRA and its members thank lawmakers for supporting Granite Staters’ Second Amendment rights.
HB 1186 prohibits the assigning of a specific merchant category code to the sale of firearms, ammunition, or firearm accessories, and provides a civil penalty for violations. This critical legislation protects gun-owners privacy and ensures that bad actors cannot use credit and debit card transactions to create a gun-registry or block cardholders from making gun-related purchases.
