Key Points

  • This bill would stop the federal government from giving contracts to companies that refuse to do business with or have policies against the firearm and ammunition industries.
  • Companies bidding for federal work would have to sign a written promise stating they do not discriminate against gun makers, sellers, or trade groups and will not do so while the contract is active.
  • The rule also applies to large subcontractors who handle more than 10% of a project's value, ensuring that major partners in government projects also follow these guidelines.
  • If a company is found to be discriminating against the gun industry after winning a contract, the government would cancel the deal and could ban that company from future federal work.
  • The bill defines discrimination as refusing services or making business decisions based on a general dislike for firearms rather than using standard financial data or legal compliance.
