South Carolina: Update on Pro-Gun Bills Moving through the Legislature

This week, the Second Amendment Financial Privacy Bill passed favorably out of the full House Judiciary Committee. It will likely head to the floor next week.

H.3930 would prohibit the use of firearm and ammunition-specific Merchant Category Codes, which could be used to track firearm and ammunition purchases and create a registry of lawful gun and ammunition buyers. Further, it includes an enforcement mechanism that allows the South Carolina Attorney General to pursue legal remedies against entities that violate these provisions. Nineteen states have adopted similar legislation. For more information, click here.

The NRA strongly supports protecting the financial privacy of all lawful gun and ammunition purchasers in South Carolina and is actively working with willing lawmakers on amendments to provide further protections for firearm retailers and gun owners. 

Further, the Hunting Heritage Protection Act unanimously passed the House and was sent to the Senate where it was assigned to the Senate Fish, Game, and Forestry Committee.

H.3872 requires the state Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to adopt policies and procedures that ensure there is no net loss of department managed land for hunting and fishing in South Carolina. Further, it requires DNR to submit a report each year citing the acreage closed to hunting during the previous year as well as the acreage opened to hunting to compensate for those closures. Protection of hunting lands for future generations is of the utmost importance to the NRA, to sportsmen, and to conservation across the Palmetto State.

Please stay tuned to the NRA-ILA website and your inbox for future updates on H.3930 and H.3872 as session progresses.
