Guns and ammo purchases on credit cards get a new code

BobbyJ said:
Lots of what you think are no big deals add up. Now UPS has been bullied to not ship anything related to firearms and they will destroy items in transit, maybe a rare gun you have been waiting for.

People just bend over and accept it.

the UPS shipping deal has nothing to do with this code issue
 
It's not about coding a particular retail point of sale, that's already in place. This is about building a FINANCIAL DATABASE about PURCHASERS of particular items(that are legal to purchase here). And according to VISA the ability to BLOCK the purchase due to moral or ethical reasons (CCC would need a database for that, which it sounds like they do not since they questioned the legality of it.)

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.

Feinstein and Warren pushed this at the fed level. And too many of the card companies are afraid to go against these two witches. I might have misspelled witches? They will keep turning the screws until something breaks. Hang on boys for the ride, we cannot let them win. Whatever it takes. Jeff

They already get your gun purchases on the background check. This is to red flag you on above normal ammo purchases in their eyes.

In arkansas they do not do a background check if you have a CC permit. The 4473 stays at the dealer. Nobody ever knows you bought a gun… unless you use a CC now. Even if they run a nics check it doesnt specify what or how many anyway. There is no database currently for past or present firearms purchases.
 
Here in Mn the ccw permit USED to allow just the filling out of the 4473. The ATF stopped it a couple years ago. To many non citizens had been issued permits.
 
Copied and pasted this from NPR.

Today's announcement is a critical first step towards giving banks and credit card companies the tools they need to recognize dangerous firearm purchasing trends – like a domestic extremist building up an arsenal — and report them to law enforcement," said John Feinblatt, president of Everytown for Gun Safety, a gun control advocacy group, in a statement last week.
 
Visa made some interesting statements about this. Visa appears to have been against it but it was forced upon them. Visa made a comment; a warning perhaps, that they oppose this because they don't want to be put into a position to deny legal purchases.

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 want to read what ‘Dub said’ as a few reply’s direct you the. All I get is ‘ error 404’
I’m guessing that’s not what dub said.
What am I doing wrong?

What you said! I know that the government already has the same info off the FFL form but they still have to jump through a few hoops before they can just give it away. These darn credit card companies can leak it to anyone they want . And besides that I hate the card companies anyway, they are nothing more than legalized loan sharks. I've never paid them a dimes interest in 40yrs. I just use them, they send me a nice report of my yearly transactions that's already itemized that I can just hand to my accountant. I don't know if there's enough of us to make a dent in their bottom line or not but if everyone stops using them to buy guns, I promise you that the foolishness will stop. I feel like it's our obligation to to at least try to get a lick in any time you can... John
