Good morning FReepers and Merry Christmas. I didn't see this "gift" from the nyt the other day but here it is. So, how long, if some don't already, before the cc companies decide, in the interest of safety, to deny firearms transactions? Shhhhhh. They probably won't think that someone might be bright enough to just get a cash advance and proceed anyway.

Merry Christmas.

We knew this next step was coming.

Next up will be denying gas purchases using a credit card because cars kill and maim.

This had already been happening a couple of years ago in certain locations. O-hole’s administration put pressure on some banks to dump bank accounts of some firearms manufacturers and gun shops. The slimes is just trying to get the ball rolling again.

As opposed to the way the media, like the NYT, ‘wittingly’ encourage mass killers by making super stars and household names out of them when they murder people.

Blame everybody but the perps.

Which is why the left wants a cashless society where some transactions are banned (guns, ammo) and everything is tracked and taxed.

[Scrambler Bob]

During the last .22 ammo dearth, folks ‘invested’ in ammo bricks, paying with the card.

“It’s here on the shelf. Better get it now! I can pay later.”

Gun store price for XXX gun, $499 or 499 tokens.

Gun store price for 1 token, $1

Customer buys 499 tokens for $499

Customer gives his 499 tokens to gun store, and after gun store runs whatever background checks or other obstacles put in place by govt, customer walks out with his gun of choice.

Description of charge on credit card, 499 tokens.

I bet the guy that bought the booze for the NYT Christmas party used a credit card.

Ban credit cards! That’d solve a lot of problems and not just mass shootings.

Money has been involved, in one way or another, in every single crime in history.

We must banish money!

Prisons are stuffed full of democrats. The "mass shooters" have all been democrats/leftists. Baltimore & Chicago democrats have racked-up huge body counts.

If only law enforcement had a way to track & monitor these red flags, Americans would be spared countless, horrific crimes.

How many of them ate breakfast in the last month?

Did they watch late night lame-edians?

James Holmes used federal grant money to finance his crimes, so...

My analysis has shown that big banks are behind most drunk driving assaults and murders. They profit off of it by making money available to purchase the vehicles and the alcohol. Often times big banks are part of the entire process. Owning the bar, lending money for roads, credit for purchase, vehicles, even the gas purchased and the gas stations themselves. I swear it’s like the are planning the entire thing. Big banks are culpable of about 95 percent of the accident. 5 percent is the driver.

Shaking head in disbelief. Don’t get me started on aviation disasters.

[Vesparado]

Why can’t these mass murderers be required to save up for the gear they need for their atrocities like the people in my generation were required to do? Why, it used to be that no decent, self-respecting mass murderer would even dream of committing an atrocity on credit! No sir-ee. What’s happened to the moral fiber in this country?

[ZOOKER]

I see this article as a call to track purchases at all gun/ammo dealers.

Have banks attach a tag/identifier to every credit reader at every licensed dealer. With this info ATF has name/address of every gun buyer.

You say, ATF already has this info from background checks? I say they're supposed to destroy this info, and if they don't, it's inadmissible as evidence against the buyer. This is credit info, not gun info, they can keep it forever and use it however they like.

[Concentrate]

Merry Christmas to one and all.

This is truly a ‘Fake News’ article.

The New York Times- espousing totalitarianism at every turn.
