    It appears 3 major credit card companies are beginning to track gun & ammo sales by using a code to ID the purchases--hope the NRA goes to court to fight this intrusion !!!!!

    Started by their "legal departments" and it's their 'plan" to institute this.

    Remington gets sued because they manufactured the rifle. The CC companies figured that they would be next if some nut case used one of their cards to purchase a gun that was used in a shooting.

    Like the man said, use cash.

    So far 24 Republican states attorney generals have warned the 3 companies that if they were to go ahead with this plan it would violate our 2nd amendment rights and they would end up in court.

    Google it and you can read the story

    time to bring back the barter days.

    Visa wrote, “We understood Amalgamated Bank’s request to be justified, at least in part, by an interest in blocking transactions that would fall under such a new category, and Visa’s rules expressly prohibit blocking of legal transactions under an MCC.”…

    This is still in their “Planning phase”
    If every card holder told them they weren’t going to use their cards for ANYTHING I’ll bet the card companies would think twice before implementing it
