I’d say that we need a non-trackable purchase method which means a non credit card. On the other hand, my employer has, as awards, given out no-name Visa & MC cards so I wonder if they can be tracked?

One thing I am determined about, I do not want a ‘cashless society’, that path will lead to a ‘social credit scoring’ and government ability to oversight!

I and my two biggest friends could not lift my collection but I’ve never purchased a firearm with a card or a check (remember those?), cash only. I’ve always thought the less of a paper trail the better.

Yep, just pay in cash.

Stupid idea, but that's Democrats for ya.

Never happen. Those companies want the interest -- and they got ALL of the interest business when the mainline banks red-lined those shops during Obama's 2nd term. So not only does a customer carry interest, but the shop owner is now using credit cards too, to make his purchases.

Adams might be the dumbest mayor of a top-10 global city in all of human history. I mean, knuckle-dragging, blue-gum dumb. It's amazing to me that anyone would voluntarily visit NYC.

Using the Supreme Court Ruling as noted by the majority opinion by Justice Clarence Thomas, who wrote that the Second Amendment protects “an individual’s right to carry a handgun for self-defense outside the home.”

So Government asking the Credit Card Companies to act as a State Actor is addressed in United States constitutional law, a state actor is a person who is acting on behalf of a governmental body, and is therefore subject to limitations imposed on government by the United States Constitution.

Time to drag the Credit Card Companies into Federal Court!
