Visa categorizing gun sales
Visa, Mastercard, AmEx to start categorizing gun shop sales
NEW YORK (AP) — Payment processor Visa Inc. said Saturday that it plans to start separately categorizing sales at gun shops, a major win for gun control advocates who say it will help better track suspicious surges of gun sales that could be a prelude to a mass shooting. But the decision by Visa, the world's largest payment processor, will likely provoke the ire of gun rights advocates and gun lobbyists, who have argued that categorizing gun...
I've read several different articles regarding this and the bulk of the liberal sites are saying this will prevent mass shootings. They don't say how it will do that and I personally don't see how it will. I know the credit card companies track other information and sell it to retailers. Will they do the same with this? Who will actually get to see this info?
In our past exchanges, Serf expressed his worry about digital currency being tracked in the future. One of my replies was that if he uses a credit card it was already happening. Sometimes it sucks to be right. Bob

With the free enterprise system, even if the woke companies band together, another will come around and say " Hey, these folks spend a lot of money on guns. Let's capture that market."
That's why capitalism is the great equalizer.

They fired off threating notes along with using retirement hedge funds threats if the cc company's sid not track all guns an ammo sales by using a code
NY is all ready bragging it will prevent more violence by tipping off the Leo on who is buying such items
Or there words just common sense laws
I guess you take any eight away by just saying it's just common sense gun law
Complete BS
from what I read next up to pressure the banks issuing the cards to dis allow any gun relayed purchase on there cc
I have said many times we are headed to a cashless society
All transactions will be thru some type of cards . Which also allows big brother more controll and more in your personal life to decide what you can or can't buy

They Have cell phone plus line data on every phone number you have dialed the last 15 years sitting in the computer database cloud ready for any investigation the government so chooses to do. The Credit card companies data is just another data base for them. They can even start predicting you particular behavior soon.
You HAVE NO anonymity at all now and their reach is growing daily with all and any data private or public bet on it.
Red flag laws will be the next noose for anyone dumb enough to cross the line.

This is so stupid. Criminals won't use their credit card for coded gun sales. How long before Visa, MC, and all the others pull the same nonsense as PayPal when the coding starts. Will they code Gun Parts also? If Serf is correct and they take away the paper money, what then? USPS Money Order or we will have no choice but Face to Face and the Barter System? -------------Ray
