It's rather lengthy and contains lots of repeated verbiage but I didn't see anywhere in it penalties for unauthorized access or leaking of the PII collected. It lists the purpose for collecting the data, what they intend to use it for, and states it cannot be used for purposes other than those listed in the bill but without consequences for violating those provisions, there's little reason for the organizations who are given access to this data to treat it with respect and secure it appropriately.
This is exactly what gun rights advocates have been saying would come, should owners have to register with the state. All this is going to do is punish and put law abiding citizens at risk. I'm sure politicians will be exempt from having their data shared.
One more way PII can be leaked, now enriched with another piece of data: gun ownership. Yet, it’s going to cause zero reduction in gun violence and illegal firearm possessions. So it penalizes legal gun ownership.
Any actual lawyer want to confirm exactly what this law does? I read the text and I’m actually not sure, and one shouldn’t as a rule trust the submitter’s title as a summary on a politically-loaded topic without verification.<p>In particular, when is this information collected and by whom?
