The debate

What people are saying about this bill

✓Arguments in support

Increases Transparency: Supporters argue that the bill provides clear data on who is denied gun purchases, helping to identify if certain groups are disproportionately affected.
Improves Oversight: By breaking down denial rates by demographics, the bill allows Congress to investigate potential biases or errors in the system.
Informs Policy: The data can help refine existing laws to focus on those at highest risk of violence, rather than casting a wide net.

✕Arguments against

Privacy Concerns: Critics worry that even aggregate data could lead to privacy issues or stigma, especially for small demographic groups.
Increased Burden: The bill may add reporting requirements and costs for the DOJ and FBI without clear benefits.
Potential for Misuse: Some fear the data could be used to push for stricter gun laws, focusing on high denial numbers without context.
