“Tag: credit cards”

The movement by some Second Amendment-supporting state legislatures to protect the financial privacy of those making purchases with credit cards at firearms retailers continues to gain momentum.

Anti-gun advocates are often shocked to learn that they are in the minority when they can’t get legislation passed banning guns or limiting gun ownership; of course, that doesn’t stop them from searching for other ways.

These credit-card companies have decided to pause plans specifically designed to track purchases in gun stores.

If fully implemented, the hope of gun-control groups is that it will create a registry of gun owners that these groups have long sought.

More than 100 members of the U.S. Representatives are demanding answers over the recent creation of a specific code designed to track sales of firearms, ammunition and other related purchases.

The gun-control movement, with the help of an international organization that develops standards in a number of fields, appears to have found a way to try to pressure credit-card companies to peer into gun owners’ transactions and lives.

In her never-ending quest to strip Americans of their civil rights, the anti-Second Amendment founder of Mom’s Demand Action, Shannon Watts, has a new idea: have credit-card companies block their cards from being used to purchase gun parts.

As America moves to a cashless society, blocking people from charging gun purchases is another gun control approach.
