Cornyn Supports Bill to Prevent Taxpayer Dollars From Funding Anti-Second Amendment Groups
AUSTIN – U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) cosponsored the Firearm Industry Non-Discrimination (FIND) Act, which would prohibit the federal government from entering into contracts with groups that discriminate unfairly against firearm associations or businesses:
“Texans should not be forced to foot the bill for corporations’ woke agendas,” said Sen. Cornyn. “I am proud to support this commonsense bill to prevent the federal government from doing business with those who seek to undermine our Constitutional right to keep and bear arms.”
This legislation is being led by Senator Steve Daines (R-MT) and is cosponsored by Senators Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS), Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), Rick Scott (R-FL), Tom Cotton (R-AR), Roger Marshall (R-KS), Jim Risch (R-ID), Roger Wicker (R-MS), Ted Budd (R-NC), Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Mike Crapo (R-ID), Tim Sheehy (R-MT), Pete Ricketts (R-NE), Kevin Cramer (R-ND), Deb Fischer (R-NE), James Lankford (R-OK), Joni Ernst (R-IA), Eric Schmitt (R-MO), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Katie Britt (R-AL), John Hoeven (R-ND), and Thom Tillis (R-NC).
Background:
The FIND Act would ensure corporations cannot benefit from taxpayer-funded contracts and subcontracts while discriminating against firearm trade associations or businesses that deal in firearms, ammunition, or related products.
This legislation is endorsed by the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF).
