Democrat Colorado Gov. Jared Polis has signed legislation that will require credit card companies to track purchases of firearms and ammunition with credit cards, a scheme opposed by Second Amendment activists and organizations as backdoor gun registration.

According to KDVR News in Denver, which labeled gun control proponents as “gun reform advocates,” the bill requires credit card companies to “apply a specific code” to such purchases. This “merchant category code” was pushed by state Sen. Tom Sullivan, a Democrat whose son was killed in the Aurora theater rampage. He was joined by state Reps, Javier Mabrey and Meg Froelich.

The new legislation could simply compel gun and ammunition buyers to either pay cash or write a check, or possibly use a cashier’s check.​

Both the National Shooting Sports Foundation and National Rifle Association last years vigorously opposed this type of legislation. Last year, four major credit card companies actually paused efforts to create a Merchant Category Code (MCC) for such purchases.

This is what happens when CA wackos are allowed to migrate.

The credit card companies would be right to tell Colorado to get fucked. It requires more complexity and extra work on their part, for something that provides them with a negative benefit, as this law is likely to result in fewer people utilizing their services.

Meh, just another reason for "cash is king".

Another win for the good guys. But it would just be easier to put chemicals in the loads that police can use to identify purchases afterword so cash purchases can be tracked too if the bullets are used in commission of a crime.

Yep.

[jotathought]

Just pay cash and fuck this attempt to track purchases.

 

[LibertyKid]

Just pay cash and fuck this attempt to track purchases.

I mean, we have to fill out background checks... right? Each one of those goes background checks goes into DB.

You misspelled communists again.

 

[jotathought]

If you purchase a firearm from a licensed dealer. If an individual were to gift a firearm or purchase one from an individual, it wouldn't exist.

In addition .. an individual may have purchased a firearm pre-1993 .. and now is purchasing ammunition for it. Why is it in the government's interest to know who is purchase ammunition?

Another win for the good guys. But it would just be easier to put chemicals in the loads that police can use to identify purchases afterword so cash purchases can be tracked too if the bullets are used in commission of a crime.

That is the STUPIDEST thing you have ever posted.

Colorado seems to be like Va. A few hundred thousand can be the difference between a right leaning government and a left leaning government.

Does tracking credit card infringe buying guns and ammo? And if so, how?

The fear is a government database of gun owners.

 

[whitehall]

It's nothing new. Law enforcement already has the power to track credit card purchases of firearms. Consider yourself lucky if you don't have to submit a freaking DNA sample when purchasing a firearm these days

 

[Captain Caveman]

The fear is a government database of gun owners.

And in what way? Various government departments know an awful lot about you.

When the government knows that a certain American has a gun, what has happened?

It is illegal for the government to have a gun ownership database:

18 U.S. Code § 926 - Rules and regulations

www.law.cornell.edu

The only records, by law, that the government may maintain is records of sales by FFLs if that FFL goes out of business. The record of sale, the ATF 4473 has to be maintained for 20 years. Then destroyed. If the FFL goes out of business those records are maintained by the Fed until the 20 year mark hits.

Pro-tip. they already do that.

The state wants to know who has guns.
No one wonders why.
