Inquiry Requested into Firearms Data Sharing Practices

A group representing gun owners, Gun Owners for Safety, has formally requested an investigation by federal agencies into the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) for allegedly misusing sensitive personal data of firearms buyers. Their letter cites a ProPublica investigation revealing that the NSSF secretly collected and shared detailed information—often without consumer consent—for political purposes over nearly two decades, raising serious privacy concerns for gun owners.

Key industry players like Glock and Smith & Wesson reportedly provided data that included not only names and addresses but also intimate details about individuals, which were then used to support specific political candidates. Senator Richard Blumenthal has expressed his support for the investigation, stating that such covert data collection poses significant safety and privacy risks. As gun ownership continues to be a contentious political topic, the implications of this data-sharing scandal could have widespread ramifications for consumer privacy rights.
