24 Attorneys General Demand Credit Card Companies Drop Plans To Track Gun Sales
Two dozen Republican attorneys general have sent a letter to Visa, Mastercard, and American Express demanding the credit card companies abandon plans to track gun sales in the United States through firearm-specific transaction codes.
Reacting to the ISO decision, Visa said in a statement that it would “proceed with next steps, while ensuring we protect all legal commerce on the Visa network in accordance with our long-standing rules.”
The National Rifle Association (NRA) criticized the shift, calling it an erosion of Second Amendment rights.
“The decision to create a firearm-specific code is nothing more than a capitulation to anti-gun politicians and activists bent on eroding the rights of law-abiding Americans, one transaction at a time,” an NRA spokesperson said.
More pushback against the adoption of firearm-specific codes came in the form of a Sept. 20 letter penned by 24 Republican attorneys general.
In the letter, the attorneys general argued that the new codes won’t protect public safety, unfairly single out law-abiding merchants and customers, and are prone to being misused.

The President of the United States is getting worse by the week. He will be lucky to make it to the end of his term, let alone run again.
California’s EV charging network could use a jolt, a trip down I-5 shows

My name is Russ Mitchell. Sammy Roth is on vacation, and I’m attempting to fill his fine and well-crafted shoes. I cover automobiles at The Times. So I’m making electric cars and EV chargers the theme of this week’s Boiling Point.
I own an electric car. I test drive electric cars. I’m a big fan of electric cars.
But the public charging system for electric cars? Not a fan.
I recently piloted a Ford F150 Lightning EV from my Berkeley home down Interstate 5 to Long Beach, a 400-mile trip. The truck? Great. The charging experience? Miserable.
The misery was meted out in several ways. Charging stations were hard to find. Maps that locate stations were not reliable. Paying for a charge with a credit card often proved troublesome, sometimes impossible. Worst of all, way too many chargers were broken or otherwise out of order. (“Unavailable” is the preferred industry euphemism.)
Running low on juice at the foot of the Grapevine, for example, I found a ChargePoint station off Interstate 5 at Frazier Mountain Park Road. The station comprised two chargers on the far weedy fringes of a nearly empty Jack in the Box parking lot. Only one of the two was what’s called a DC fast charger.

“I will make you hurt” is a song lyric in the popular 1994 Nine Inch Nails song “Hurt,” which makes allusions to suicide and intravenous drug use, as Genius notes. The verse that includes the lyrics is as follows:
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
You're right about that.

Seeing DS’s heartbeat when he was 4 weeks old in utero was how I knew I hadn’t miscarried again. So weird my female OB-GYN celebrated with me upon seeing his healthy heartbeat when it didn’t exist.
Prayers up for you weston. Sepsis is nasty glad you got home.
Watching the Yankees BoSox game....Judge could tie/overcome the American League/Marris HR record!!
(Not to mention exceeding the drug fueled record of Bonds....etc)
Go, Judge, go!!
I am so sorry to hear about your health weston. I will be praying for you.
Interesting, thanks. I wonder har far the EV goes before needing a charge, and the cost, money and time, of a charge compared to gas.
Does driving on the grapevine use more energy going up and down?
I don’t expect you to know all the answers, just wondering.
OMG, this guy is sick.
.............
with an EV one is given the privilege of slowing down and enjoying your rest stops for a considerable amount of time, thus enjoying local surroundings. A place where yoga mats , gay dating and just prancing about.
Yes, Judge is having an incredible season. Good timing since he is a free agent at the end of this year.
I can’t believe the Yankees even allowed that.
And....I can’t believe the Red Sox pitcher even thought about walking him :-)
I remember driving my daughter to school and Kurt Cobain singing “All Apologies” on the radio. I told my daughter that guy was going to commit suicide, which he did not long thereafter.
