NEW YORK (AP) — Visa and Mastercard paused their decision to start categorizing purchases at gun shops, a significant win for conservative groups and Second Amendment advocates who felt that tracking gun shop purchases would inadvertently discriminate against legal firearms purchases.
The decision is, at the same time, also a defeat for gun control groups. There had been hope that categorizing credit and debit card purchases would allow authorities to potentially see red flags — like significant ammunition purchases — before a mass shooting could happen.
After Visa and Mastercard announced their plans to implement a separate merchant category code for gun shop purchases, the payment networks got significant pushback from the gun lobby as well as conservative politicians. A group of 24 GOP state attorneys general wrote a letter to the payment networks threatening legal action against Visa and Mastercard if they moved forward with their plan.
There are also bills pending in several state legislatures that would ban the tracking of purchases at gun shops, which would have made it even more difficult for Visa and Mastercard to implement the categorization.
These critters often go back on their word. Often unsay things by changing terms and definitions to suit nefarious purposes.
I hope the tracking thing just stays dead. But my guess is that some Fed planted the idea and Deep Staters are going to look at the data somehow.

[[Breaking Victory! Visa and Mastercard stop program to track gun purchases…]]
How can we be sure they stopped?
At least they say they have stopped. Five years from now a secret file will be discovered and well you all know.
And who has owned Joe Bidens soul ever since he was first elected Senator from Delaware. The Bank of Delaware which is a huge credit card company and other credit card companies. The idiot has pushed credit card friendly legislation his whole life. Costing credit card users millions.
They’ve “paused”. I’ll buy that for a dollar.
They didn’t stop.
They “paused” - inferring that they’ll continue later AND that they already started implementing it!
Good question. The article says they "stopped", then it says they "paused". Which is it?
Yeah, and the feds don’t keep records when the FFL dealers run NCIC checks.
And I have a bridge over the Rio Grande for sale.
I bought ammo one time after CA passed the bs background check for ammo bs.
Dude had to put each box of ammo I got, and the quantity on the check. I asked why and gave me the run around(probably didn’t know, it was a big 5)
I got an ffl03 shortly after and can ship ammo to my door because of it.
So they say.
wow!
I give no hints what I have.
If I go out of state I’ll be making some purchases.
I may use cash, if that digital currency hasn’t taken over
everything by then.
So they say...
2A Bump for later....
