NSSF—The Firearm Industry Trade Association

🇺🇸🚨🇺🇸🚨 The House just passed a major industry priority: H.R. 1181, the Protecting Privacy in Purchases Act! A big thanks to sponsor @RepRileyMoore. This bill bans the use of a firearm retailer-specific Merchant Category Code (MCC) & protects #2A privacy. On to the U.S. Senate!

As digital threats continue to rise, resources like #cybersecurity training have become increasingly important for protecting businesses, sensitive data & customer trust. One of the practical benefits of being an NSSF member is access to special pricing on the @knowbe4 Security Awareness Training program, which helps employees spot threats, respond wisely & build stronger security habits.
