Guns and ammo purchases on credit cards get a new code

[DNorton]

This can only be used to infringe.

There's a part of this that I don't understand. I'm 77 and have been trading guns for at least 60yrs and run the farm off a credit card. Pay the full balance each month and give the twelve statements to my accountant at the end of the year and in those 60yrs I've never bought a gun with a credit card. Always used a check or cash, if everyone starts doing this I think the loss of business for the card companies will stop this foolishness, IMHO, John
Edit to add: I have bought PO money orders with cash to avoid mailing cash....

Cash is King. when the government can control all your money transactions they can control you.

Alot of the younger guys i work with don't carry cash. Sometimes we work in remote locations and stop in little Mom and Pop stores , they only take cash. So unless I spot them cash till the next day they can't get anything. I guess the difference in generations really shows up.

ATM withdraw for cash from now on.
Gotcha!

The trouble with that is that you don't have the ability to dispute a charge. True, this may not mean much for a face-to-face transaction in a local gun shop, but it can be important in an on-line purchase.

I once had my credit card deactivated because I did not buy something firearm or knife related.. I was trying to buy a gift for my wife. I guess I may not be able to use it at all soon.

Exactly. Why else do they want this info..or even care? My guess, gov't will turn around and threaten the banks with liability related to gun sales...and that'll be all the banks needs to cease all "coded" transactions.

Over regulation at every corner and it gets worse all the time. The intent is obvious.

Yes, you're right, I've seen the same thing myself. I can't imagine leaving home with out cash. My Granddaddy and my Daddy tought all of us to never leave home without enough cash stashed away to get back home. Bed, eating, and train ticket money he called it. Raised all mine the same way. I guess everyone is different... John

 

[Diggs223]

my bet is along with the code, the purchase info is sent directly to big brother

It's all about data mining on every human being on the planet to create a
future Social Credit Score for each one so they can completely control everybody
by controlling their money in the new digital money age.
If anyone doesn't act according to their rules , they just shut off their money.
It's literally a Control Freaks dream.
I read that CBDC'S (Central Bank Digital Currencies) will begin being rolled out
in 2023.
A lot of the Sales Calls you get are data mining with questions.

I would think this thing could be challenged under the second and fourth
amendments of the Constitution.

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

Except the bank will flag transactions from that location.

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

MY GUESS is yes. If it is paid w mastercard, AMX or Visa.

 

[22BRGUY]

So far it doesn't look like Discover Cards are in this game.
Maybe the ones to go after are the credit card companies that signed on to this garbage.

Not too many months ago, a Bill was passed to allow the IRS to track any expense over $500. They’re coming from every direction.

 

[22BRGUY]

Did you ever notice that many of these anti-gun laws are justified with the
"Stopping or Preventing Criminals" argument? It seems to me that they are accusing everybody of being a criminal and making everybody have to suffer with that logic; and making accusations without a warrant on everybody that participates in almost any gun-related activity. False Accusations seems apparent to me.
Why should law abiding innocent citizens have to suffer as a group because a few
people choose to be criminals??
Should everyone have to submit to a breathalyzer before driving their car to work in the morning or anywhere else for that matter? The logic escapes me.

This is a ploy to up their ESG scores; they believe its their "social responsibility" to stop gun purchases.

 

[Rsadams]

If I can't buy what I want with my stuff then I won't pay the bill and in the garbage they go....

TRANSACTIONS at gun stores.

I feel the need to purchase gift cards
