U.S. Senators Mike Crapo, Jim Risch, and Steve Daines have introduced the Firearm Industry Non-Discrimination (FIND) Act. The proposed legislation aims to prevent the federal government from engaging in contracts with entities that discriminate against firearm-related businesses or associations.

"Taxpayer dollars should not support businesses that unfairly target law-abiding citizens exercising their Second Amendment rights. Full stop," said Senator Crapo.

Senator Risch added, "We cannot allow businesses with anti-Second Amendment policies and rhetoric to benefit from taxpayer-funded government contracts. The FIND Act ensures the federal government doesn’t line the pockets of businesses working against Idahoans’ right to keep and bear arms."

Senator Daines expressed his concerns: "Democrats and woke corporations have proven over and over again that they want to carry out an unconstitutional, overreaching gun-grabbing agenda, and under no circumstances should our federal government use taxpayer dollars for these efforts. Doing business with anti-Second Amendment corporations erodes Americans’ trust and infringes on law-abiding citizens’ Constitutional rights. It must stop."

The bill has garnered support from a number of co-sponsors, including Senators Cindy Hyde-Smith, Cynthia Lummis, Rick Scott, Tom Cotton, Roger Marshall, Roger Wicker, Ted Budd, Bill Cassidy, Tim Sheehy, Pete Ricketts, Kevin Cramer, Deb Fischer, James Lankford, Joni Ernst, Eric Schmitt, Lindsey Graham, and Katie Britt.
