I oppose gun control measures including red flag laws, expanded restrictions on lawful transfers, magazine bans, and others. Restrictions should be limited to people convicted of prior gun crimes, persons lawfully adjudicated mentally dangerous to themselves or others, and non-citizens.
Oppose gun control measures such as red flag laws, expanded restrictions on lawful transfers, and magazine bans, while limiting firearms restrictions to people convicted of prior gun crimes, people adjudicated mentally dangerous, and non-citizens.
Occurrences
Evidence
Davidson's April 9, 2026 op-ed says FBI data-broker purchases and related surveillance could be used to create a gun registry by tracking purchase information.
On April 14, 2026, Davidson said he introduced an amendment to H.R. 8035 to close a loophole that lets federal agencies buy commercially available location data, and he said the amendment protects Americans' constitutional rights and keeps such data from being used improperly.
Assessments
Davidson has continued to publicly oppose government mechanisms that could enable gun-purchase tracking and introduced an amendment aimed at restricting federal purchases of commercially available location data, which he tied to gun-registry risks. That is a concrete same-term effort aligned with opposing expanded firearms restrictions or registry-like enforcement tools. However, the evidence does not show that the promised policy outcome was enacted: no red flag laws, transfer restrictions, or magazine bans were repealed or blocked as a completed federal outcome, and the amendment is indirect relative to the full promise. Credit is therefore partial rather than delivered.
