WY: BETRAYAL – Wyoming Firearms Financial Privacy Killed by 17 Senators!

Firearms Financial Privacy Killed by 17 Wyoming Senators!
The GOA-backed Second Amendment Financial Privacy Act (HB0234) passed the Wyoming House on January 31 by a 56 to 3 vote only to be killed by 17 of 31 Wyoming Senators on February 21!
The bill would have prohibited the assignment of firearms-specific Merchant Category Codes (MCC) to any merchant located in Wyoming that is a seller of firearms, firearm accessories, or ammunition. It would have also prohibited the tracking of firearms ownership.
Firearms MCCs are the brainchild of International and American entities who want to push gun control in the United States with the ultimate goal of confiscation of firearms. These codes identify “who” is selling firearms and can be used to revoke credit and take other retaliatory acts against firearms sellers. Most importantly, MCCs are a first step to creating a National Firearms Registry of gun owners.

HB0234 proposed to change current Wyoming statutes and require the Wyoming Attorney General (AG) to take action against credit card processors who establish these codes.
Current statutes makes it discretionary for the AG to even enforce the law!
Furthermore, the bill would have allowed citizens to take civil action in court against entities that establish MCCs if the AG failed to act.
Despite passing the House with a 95%
