Hummm. I have on numerous occasions combined the ammunition purchases of all my friends so we could get a price break. I wonder what the government thinks about my frequent purchases of 20 thousand rounds...

>>Many Americans have never even heard of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau . . .

The CFPB was birthed by the disgusting Lizzy Warren and is headed by the unconstitutionally seated Richard Cordray. IIRC, two federal courts ruled that Obama violated the appointments clause with Cordray and a couple of radical labor lawyers to the NLRB.

Every Constitutional crime becomes precedent.

Is that Fauxcahontas or Lieawatha you’re talking about?

“Were you under the impression that your credit card transactions are private?”

I’ve never met anyone ignorant enough to believe that; by their very nature there is nothing “private” about it (as there is with cash).

At this point, the only solution is to arrest them all and let God sort them out.

For all the NSA trools, FU.

Yes, but did anyone think they are collecting everything? I can’t keep track of the scandals anymore. I lost track.

Dump the card. Spend cash.

If you're in a state that has a rear license plate only and you park your car outside, back in so the plate is not exposed. Use this same technique in a parking lot.

If you carry a cell phone but don't use it very much, consider storing it in one of these. The phone can be tracked even if it is off.

Of course they were collecting it; it was being used to determine which junk mail to send to your house and which spam to send to your email of they could get their hands on it. Obama haas his share of scandals, but this has been going on for decades.

So long as these transactions were in your friend’s name, your OK.

They’re just happy to know where to find ammo if DHS runs low

Never thought CC purchase records were kept private. If nothing else the banks sell it.

I think about the “fish school” theory regarding all this info the gubmit is collecting. I know they can filter by key words, but still even filtered there has to be a mountain if not a mountain range of shite for them to look at. Then add in the renowned “government efficiency”, we are 99.9999% safe in the fish school.

FR is prolly at or near the top of the peak.

All of that tiny print on your statements was them alerting you they were doing it.

The illegal invasion has turned this on its head; these people can only be tracked by their benefits payments. I see them shopping with cash, driving unregistered, uninsured cars - truly masters of living “off the grid”.

I know it and I don’t care. I don’t carry cash. Everything is paid for with credit cards or electronically.

I find myself carrying more and more cash now a days. Since I was warned by an Academy Surplus employee a couple of years ago to use cash if I made a large ammo purchase. (400 plus rounds)

Prepaid debit cards are a good alternative
Our company issued these cards, instead of cheques, as a Christmas bonus.

I used mine to purchase some supplies at the rod and gun store
