This is why digital currencies were invented.

They can’t interfere in Bitcoin transactions.

Many if not most innocent buyers purchase a firearm, a number of extra magazines (I usually buy 10-12 extras) and ammunition, all at the same time. (I'm not going to pay for range time to charge magazines.)

If mass murderers ALSO pay their psychiatrist with a credit card, they may have something. The problem is that there are a lot of gun buyers -- millions -- and very few mass shooters. No matter what the criteria are, the number of false-positives is going to number in the thousands.

Let me know what credit card the Vegas shooter used.

Arrest anyone who stays in a Vegas Hotel and bought a firearm and/or ammo. That will clean the place out in a hurry.

Everyone keeps saying CASH! But cash is on the commie globalists’ chopping block, as you should know (especially if you know your Bible). But, yes, in the meantime, cash.

But American made gun products. Buy them. Enjoy them. Pay cash if need be. Just buy them.

This targets honest, non violent citizens, not violent criminals. They plan to take guns from us, not from violent criminals.

They already have the banks monitoring transactions. This will give them more control over us. May this fascist go to hell.

“...they’re turning the financial sector into government spies.”

They’ve been spies for 10+ yrs already. One example: withdrawing $10,000+ from your bank savings account, and you will get reported to several gov’t agencies.

It’s up to 31 with more counties having meetings & will probably go the same way.

I talked to a representative from VCDL (Virginia Citizens Defense League) today and he reports the number is now 30 counties that are Second Amendment Sanctuary counties.

I give ammo as Christmas gifts to some of our neighbors. Not the tiny 100rd boxes either.

VCDL is our best ally.
All Virginia gun owners need to support them.

Banks reporting on FINANCIAL irregularities is one thing - that’s sort of within their charter.

Using electronic payment systems (credit cards, phone pay, etc) will also get you tracked - although they only know where and what you spent - not exactly on what on - but that’s a trade off.

Banks tracking AND blocking what people spend their money on based on government demand is a whole ‘nother level.

What she wants is Banks to funnel large amounts of cash to her reelection efforts. She will then be so busy campaigning that she will put this plan on the back burner. It’s all about the shakedown.

Yes it is, but it’s been happening w/ firearms industry for a couple of years.

Do you really think your cash purchase isn’t also tracked? Your bills are scanned as they leave your atm and then are scanned as they are deposited into the gun ranges account.

Unless you are also washing your money they are way ahead of you.
