Senators Risch and Hyde-Smith introduce the GRIP Act to prevent states from using federal funds for gun registries.
Quiver AI Summary
Senators Risch and Hyde-Smith introduce GRIP Act: U.S. Senators Jim Risch (R-Idaho) and Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.) have introduced the Gun-Owner Registration Information Protection (GRIP) Act, which seeks to prevent states from using federal funds or background check data to create gun registries. Risch stated, “Idaho’s law-abiding gun owners should not be subject to illegal firearms registries.”
Aims to protect Second Amendment rights: The legislation is designed to strengthen existing laws that already prohibit the federal government from maintaining a national firearms registry. Hyde-Smith emphasized that the GRIP Act clarifies that state and local governments cannot infringe upon Second Amendment rights by collecting gun ownership data.
Co-sponsors and support: The GRIP Act is co-sponsored by multiple Republican senators and is backed by organizations such as the National Rifle Association and the National Shooting Sports Foundation. Current laws already restrict federal involvement in gun registries, and this act aims to extend those protections at the state level.
