credit card purchases

[AZ_Hunter_2000]

I had an issue w amex once and have never used em again. Same for a given bank. Not a lot of power in 1 krill.

If enough krill swim in another ocean the whale will starve.

Just need enough krill to care. That’s the problem.

Elections have consequences is a statement i agree with and think also contributes to this kind of talk/problem.

The only elections that come into play on this are shareholder (unsure how to undo the ISO portion). It is unlikely that a person can get enough supporters together to have enough shares to actually get things changed; it'd be a tall order to get that done for a single company let alone all three.

The only way to "boycott" is to 100% give up all credit and debit cards and any other mechanism that uses their systems. Few people will do this due to the serious inconvenience.

Until they get rid of it with Fed coin.

And thanks to Canada, the belief that folks can use crypto to get around government restrictions burst into flames.

Folks are way too concerned about government overreach and are missing the real threat.

The biggest risk is pressure from activists to no longer allow purchases involving guns or ammo when using a credit card. It only takes one successful lawsuit and things will literally change overnight. Combine that with the increased pressure to do away with cash and the second amendment is going to die a premature death. Other than bartering you won't have a way to legally buy anything related to firearms.

The 2nd amendment is not being infringed by the government but by the private industry. It's a brilliant move and a massive win for the left. It sucks but brilliant nonetheless. The left won't have to do anything other than be patient; as supplies (ammo/powder/bullet/primer) get used up, we will no longer be able to replace them. There will be a point that most folks will have a bunch of pretty decorations that will only be good for collecting dust.

Exactly. Only a matter of time before cc companies start feeling pressure from anti gunners to ban firearms/ammo sales via cc. CA (of course) recently enacted a bill to allow families of firearm crimes to sue firearm manufacturers that haven't taken steps to ensure their weapons aren't used illegally. The courts will determine whether or not they have done so. Soon there will be a lawsuit against a cc that allowed a firearm sale that resulted in a death using said firearm. Count on it.

I don’t care what they report
If you believe the feds don’t already have a registry then you’re very naïve

Bought a box of ammo the other day @ BPS, paid cash.
They asked for my ph#, I said no thanks.
Thought the guy's head was gonna explode.
WHY do they need my Ph#?

They ask for it so that you get loyalty program credit if you are a member.

I guess I don't understand the concern. A person already has to fill out a 4457 so the information is transmitted directly to the Feds.

My immediate thought...

If you're paying with a card, you're buying from a dealer.

Plus, credit card companies are private businesses. Aren't they allowed to do business as they see fit?

So are banks. How long until banks won't do business with firearms owners? Didn't some large bank/s already try it with gun manufacturers?

Some banks have absolutely limited their business with gun manufacturers and the likes of the NRA.

Well armed and supplied Second Amendment supporters are a threat to the Globalists agenda. Dems want your firearms and ammo.

 

[Bubblehide]

... agenda. ...

Agenda, it's thw name of a CD you can purchase; it goes into the historyvand plan of that globalist agenda.

My local gun store gives a 3% discount for cash purchases. I'm betting they have a lot more discounts to give in the future.

Sure... None.of these companies are asking for it, the gov is asking them to put it in place.

They don't have a registry outside of the NFA. If they did they wouldn't have to dig through boxes full of paperwork from retired FFL dealers to trace firearms.

Now, if you live on one of I think 5 states that run their own registry that's another issue.

They always have a reason for doing what they do and they take it a step at a time. It won't surprise me if they don't start to pressure banks to refuse to offer banking services to people who buy guns and ammo...as in checking accounts, loans etc. They are not above coercion to achieve an outcome.

Fortunately, I am pretty well stocked and don't need to buy anything for the next few years or more but when I do, I am going to pay cash. I pay everything off at the end of the month anyway.

It was a bank (Amalgamated) that petitioned the standards agency to add the MCC, not the government.
