Several states maintain databases tracking who owns firearms, and this bill would cut off any federal money used to create or maintain those registries. Federal agencies would be prohibited from funding or supporting state or local government databases that list lawfully owned firearms or the people who own them. There's one exception: databases that only track guns reported as lost or stolen would still be allowed. The bill applies to all 50 states, D.C., and U.S. territories.
