Mr. BARRASSO submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by him to the bill S. 649, to ensure that all individuals who should be prohibited from buying a firearm are listed in the national instant criminal background check system and require a background check for every firearm sale, and for other purposes; which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows: At the appropriate place, insert the following: SEC. ___. PROTECTING THE PRIVACY AND SAFETY OF LAW-ABIDING GUN OWNERS. Section 1701 of title I of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 (42 U.S.C. 3796dd) is amended by adding at the end the following: ``(l) Protecting the Privacy of Law-abiding Gun Owners.-- ``(1) Definition.--In this subsection, the term `private gun ownership data' means information held by a State or unit of local government that concerns-- ``(A) a license or permit of an individual to purchase, possess, or carry a firearm; ``(B) a license or permit of an individual relating to ammunition; or ``(C) the location of an individual gun owner. ``(2) Withholding funds for noncompliance.-- ``(A) In general.--Subject to subparagraph (B), and notwithstanding any other provision of this part, if a State or unit of local government receiving a grant under this part publicly releases private gun ownership data during any fiscal year, the Attorney General shall withhold 5 percent of the amount that would otherwise be provided to the State or unit of local government under this part for that fiscal year. ``(B) Exception.--Subparagraph (A) shall not apply to any release of private gun ownership data that is necessary in the course of-- ``(i) a bonafide criminal investigation; or ``(ii) a trial, hearing, or other proceeding of any court, board, commission, or agency. ``(3) Redistribution of withheld funds.--On the first day of the first fiscal year after a fiscal year in which amounts were withheld from a State or unit of local government under paragraph (2), such amounts shall be made available to States and units of local government that do not publicly release private gun ownership data.''. ______
