The mayor of New York City, Eric Adams, along with other elected officials and state pension fund trustees, have requested that major credit card companies implement a weapon code for the purchase of firearms and ammunition.
“New York City Mayor Eric Adams, New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, trustees of the New York City Employees’ Retirement System, Teachers’ Retirement System and Board of Education Retirement System, and elected leaders today called on American Express, MasterCard and Visa, three of the world’s largest credit card companies, to support a proposal to establish a merchant category code (MCC) for gun and ammunition stores,” according to the news release.
Officials in New York City and the state of New York have asked American Express, MasterCard, and Visa to make a four-digit merchant category code (MCC) like the ones used for other retail categories to better identify and report suspicious behavior, such as large purchases of firearms.
“The creation of a new code would help financial institutions detect and report suspicious activity, such as unusually large purchases of firearms or ammunition, or purchases from multiple stores, that may be used for criminal purposes,” it claimed.

another reason to have a good amount of cash on hand in the future..
It ain’t over kiddies!
Quick way to get around that messy old US Constitution they never liked.
Next: No credit and no house loans or car loans for any registered Republican. Or someone who hasn’t contributed to BLM and Planned Parenthood.
Yeah, cause we r two stoopid to figure out to simply get cash money from an ATM or something. 😵
another reason to have a good amount of cash on hand in the future
Didn’t you hear Biden is removing cash on Dec 13
Another nod to using an ATM then buying a gas station money order.
And the left call Republicans “fascists”?!
This is how they do it - force private companies to do the things they constitutionally can’t do.
Credit card companies should have a code for all donations to dem party..
Once again, The Democrats outsource the crushing of freedom to private business. And think they are clever because it’s not the government doing it. Interesting how they suddenly become free market absolutists in these cases.
Tie your credit card to an out-of-state PO Box, and enlist the services of a freight forwarder.
We Californians are savvy to this BS already.
There’s computers that CA has decided the graphics cards aren’t “green enough” to buy in CA. If your kid is at MIT and their laptop dies, you cannot even buy one and ship it there, because of your CA Billing Address.
So, you’ve gotta have your Billing Address outta State.
Additionally, because the vendor won’t ship that computer to CA, you need an outta State Shipping Address where the delivery can be made, and the shipment “bounced” to your CA address from there.
This is gonna get REALLY common in LOTS of places, for MANY Constitutionally-protected reasons.
Buy ear plugs to let them know you’re there. Pay cash for the rest. Buy American made ammo and products what ever you can do.
Pay Cash
How could anyone who spent over 20 years in police work be stupid enough to believe taking guns away from law abiding citizens will solve gun violence?
Given the efforts at sexualizing schoolchildren it makes perfect sense why the teachers unions are so hoplophobic.
Well target shooters purchase large quantities of ammo, often in single transaction. I know that skeet and trap shooters can burn through hundreds, or thousands, of rounds in no time. The next step will be to require cash purchases to be reported.
Or flag all abortion transactions with Planned Parenthood.
The globalists in New York City will face a statistic that the average ammo buyer is 85 and orders 4 pallets a year.
Registration is Infringement
Correct.
