Yes, I just saw a similar article on NTD News https://www.ntd.com/new-merchant-code-approved-for-card-purchases-of-guns-ammunition_838796.html

I don't know if merchants are going to use this code, but the banks are trying to turn the screws.

I'm moving my accounts from Wells Fargo to a Texas based bank. Wells Fargo is also trying to shut down the hydrocarbon industry. For a complete list of banks to avoid go here https://www.unepfi.org/net-zero-banking/members/

That’ll work… until everything changes to a form of electronic currency!

That is very close to becoming a reality.......

most of the gun store merchants I talked to, said they were not using a code, etc. Hope they keep that attitude.

I saw that article this morning. They just keep tightening the noose.

I just read this today and it is just shows that the walls are moving in and the room is getting smaller. This was started by Amalgamated Bank and they are encouraging other banks to support use of the new category code.


An international standards body has approved the creation of a merchant category code for gun retailers to identify credit card sales of guns and ammunition.

Wondering about Postal Money Orders?

I bought an AMP Mark II annealer yesterday using Western Union money orders($1774.55 ouch!).

If you pay attention, one of the driving forces behind all the corporate initiatives that can be interpreted as attempts to track firearms purchases is the AG of New York, Letitia James. She is a Democrat, through and through. She was the major force behind the lawsuit against the NRA in the state. I may be mistaken, but she is just making waves and a reputation with eyes on a much bigger political stage.

Just another step in the rapidly accelerating removal of our freedoms!

That's quite a pricetag! I need your help to find me some of that lost pirate's treasure.

 

[Infrequent Shooter]

I think this is the same thing. I just read that major credit card companies are going to separate FA purchases in their records. Extremely bad IMO. So the banks will now keep track if you are buying a firearm or ammunition. Great idea.

We need a new player in the game. Get these commies out of your life. Tell your local gun store to install an atm over in the corner

Just retired in April and burning through savings on reloading equip. and supplies(or what I can find,glad I somewhat got stocked up a couple years ago when you could still find and buy without getting bent over ).As expensive as 338LM brass is(300pcs. was close to $900)the AMP may help it live a little longer.

Will everything bought from BudsGUNshop be coded?
Everything from Midway, Academy, Cabelas?
Is an upper a gun that will be coded?
