So much for bulk purchases from CheaperThanDirt 😔

There was something about Visa telling them to pound sand. The ISO only puts out standards. If the government doesn’t require the standard to be followed then you don’t have to.

[I want the USA back]

Anybody who thinks this is just about tracking is a fool. This is so they can refuse the transaction.

Criminals don’t use credit cards to buy guns. This proves what I have said a million times:

They plan to take guns from honest, non-violent citizens while leaving them in the hands of violent criminals.

When I was living in kalifornia, a shooter murdered two sleeping campers with a Marlin Camp Carbine. The police went to all the pertinent FFLs and "asked" for their 4473s. All the FFLs complied.

The police then went to all the purchasers of the Marlin CC and "asked" for the guns so that ballistics could be checked. All owners complied.

This was in the Sacramento Bee, a liberal rag. I was surprised they reported this.

The killer was never found but, we learned one thing, viz. if you've ever filled out a 4473, you're potentially on their radar. All they need to do is confiscate the paperwork, because it never goes away.

I’ve never used anything but cash for 2A related purchases ever. I’ve made purchases over the years and would bet heavily there aren’t any three guys on the planet who, together, could lift it all in one go.

If you need anything better buy it now. The advice to “sell your cloak and buy a sword” is still valid .

[joshua c]

it is going to be a factor in the coming social credit score

or should i say woke credit score

gun ownership definitely hurts your score

“Seems like you’d go and buy crypto currency with your credit card, then turn around to buy ammo/guns with the crypto.”

Most stores don’t accept crypto.

[CodeToad]

Billions of transactions. Nothing but noise.

[TexasGator]

“Backdoor gun registration. They’ll know who owns guns and what calibers.”

That info is not transmitted to the CC company.

[roving]

You missed nothing because it isn’t true

[TexasGator]

“There will likely be codes for each item.”

Only the transaction amount is transmitted.

[TexasGator]

“No problem for me, I dont live in NY or Cali, and never will”

The codes are used worldwide. CA/NY are requesting a new code to be added to that database.

In s.c. they take your phone # if you buy ammo.

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!

Where is my right to privacy???

[SaxxonWoods]

I just get by fine without the ‘newest’ in guns.

[Starstruck]

There’s really no getting around the tracking aspect of it all. Even if you pay cash, they still use facial recognition cameras everywhere - so you’re going to get “busted”.

Masks are still common enough to wear in a store.

Conjoining themselves to government and goverment control, by their own doing.

Tell “Kueen Kathy” to give up her NYSP Guys with Purple Ties security detail with Glocks.
