Georgia Credit Union Bars Customers From Purchasing Guns With Their Own Money

Georgia United Credit Union recently updated their User Agreement — you know, that wall of text that your financial institution flashes at you from time to time and which few people bother to read. The catch: If you rely on Georgia United Credit Union for your purchasing tool, like, say, a debit card, you may no longer use that to purchase firearms, ammunition, firearms parts, or accessories, along with a host of other items.

They were once known as the Dekalb County Teacherz Credit union. Says a lot…,

“When Trump wins the Antifa/BLM insurrection network will be activated, with the full approval of the DC Uniparty.”

Obuma’s so-called “army,” BLM, has been destroyed by the Mexicans in LA and Chicago. Where will they be activated from?

Remember, the President/Directors have names and addresses. Might be useful some day.

Whose money am I supposed to use to buy guns?

Also, they won’t let you buy condoms, Viagra, or birth control pills?

They don’t want you to have ANY fun.

Um, aren’t there laws and regulations about how and when credit unions and banks can deny you access to your money?

In my experience, there’s a record of everything you buy at any store with a debit card.

Yes, but it doesn't come through to the credit/debit card, just the amount.

I do IT support for a number of clients that take credit/debit/PayPal, and all that comes through to them is the card number and the verifying info.

Every item sold in stores today has a transaction type number. If you have an online bank account it will say what category the item you purchased is.

Yes, but it doesn't come through to the credit/debit card, just the amount.

If they have some reason to be interested in or watching you, they can find out anything they need to know.

How does this happen when credit unions are supposedly run for the benefit of the account holders, as opposed to creditors?

All account holders are created equal. Some account holders are more equal than others.

When I look at the receipt the item number is on it.

Dealers prefer cash so they don’t have to pay credit card fees.

That helps the dealers and hurts the bank or credit union.

Double win, at least until cash is outlawed.

[Fresh Wind]

And never, ever use a debit card anywhere except an ATM.

When I look at the receipt the item number is on it.

Yes, but the bank/credit card company never sees the receipt, but only sees the company that the charge is coming, the amount of the charge, and the verifying info, i.e. exp. date, cvv, zipcode, etc.

‘wef’ is working on it.
