Enterprise software rules on firearms
Many enterprise technology companies restrict firearm sales.
The "enterprise software" category includes all kinds of tools for sales, marketing, billing, identity verification, etc. This software makes it easier for businesses to manage their data and run their operations. However, some enterprise software providers prohibit certain firearm transactions. Others strictly prohibit all firearm transactions of any kind.
