Under the Biden-Harris Administration, there has been an unconstitutional and relentless attack on the Second Amendment rights and privacies of American citizens. In September 2023, gun-grabbing organizations and far Left politicians including New York Attorney General Letitia James cheered on the creation of a new Merchant Category Code (MCC) for firearms retailers within the payment processing system....
The creation of MCCs specifically for firearms retailers is weaponizing the financial system against lawful gun owners by seeking to label and track transactions on firearms and ammunition. To counteract this infringement on our rights, we introduced the Protecting Privacy in Purchases Act....
This protection preserves the privacy of Americans making lawful purchases, prevents the creation of a backdoor registry of gun owners, and guarantees that legal commerce is not unfairly surveilled or impeded based on the nature of the goods sold....
While credit card companies paused the implementation of the code and several states and passed laws to block it, liberal states like California have mandated its implementation, making federal action necessary to set a nationwide standard....

Not sure why Newsweek is making a story of it now, maybe a last push to save/pass legislation before the new administration, but in either case:

28:52
children were playing with guns and we had hunting accidents people
28:57
accidentally shooting each other and we had criminals again murderers the only way that they could
29:04
track the murderer was by the serial number of the gun so
29:12
bring your your gun to the police station then we can register the serial number and we can track the
29:20
criminal and we thought that was a good idea so gladly we did that

29:34
the criminals the best way to have no more crimes

30:34

In the NY vs NRA suit, the court slapped down the NY attorney general for threatening financial institutions with reputational harm if the did business with the NRA. NY violated the 1A rights of the NRA. Pressuring banks to de-bank gun owners is the same thing.
Republicans in Congress?
Of course they will "stand for it".
Form filled out and submitted!👍
If you make a $800 credit card purchase from Local Gun Dealer Inc. expect a government contact in the future.
Leftists think laws are to limit other people.
the democrats have been pushing gun control since 1962 when Thomas J. Dodd and Emanuel Celler proposed a handgun only registration scheme.
Dodd later wrote the 1968 Gun Control law using the 1938 nazi weapons act as a pattern.
No wonder that in 1941, just days before the Pearl Harbor attack, Congress reaffirmed Second Amendment rights and prohibited gun registration. In 1968, bills to register guns were debated, with opponents recalling the Nazi experience and supporters denying that the Nazis ever used registration records to confiscate guns. The bills were defeated, as every such proposal has been ever since, including recent “universal background check” bills.
The lies we have been told over the years...
1962 We ONLY want to register handguns. Rifles will not be affected!
1964, We ONLY want to register ALL firearms, not ban them.
1968 We ONLY want to register all guns, and ban the import of foreign Saturday Night Specials, and 5-shot bolt action army surplus rifles! (they got the ban).
1970, We ONLY want to ban small American handguns. Rifles will not be affected!
1976 We ONLY want to ban ALL handguns! Rifles will not be affected!
1981, Actress Lee Grant on Good Morning America (ABC) screams...”THE NRA IS A RIFLE ORGANIZATION! THEY SHOULD GIVE UP THEIR HANDGUNS AND THEY CAN KEEP THEIR RIFLES!”
1984, they came for the rifles.
1994..When they thought they had banned “As-s-s-ault rifles they did not shut off the lights and go home. they immediately went after their next target, .50 cal single shot rifles “THAT CAN TAKE DOWN AN AIRPLANE!”
They will never be satisfied till they have an unarmed population.
That reminds me of a joke back then.
The German ambassador says to the Swiss Ambassador: “Our army is FIVE TIMES bigger than your army. What would you do if we invaded?”
Swiss Ambassador: “Our our men would go to the border, fire five shots and go home.”
