You misspelled communists again.

What does this law have to do with the state owning the production of goods and services?

Colorado Signs Bill Requiring Credit Card Tracking of Gun and Ammo Purchases

Democrat Colorado Gov. Jared Polis has signed legislation that will require credit card companies to track purchases of firearms and ammunition with credit cards.

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".

You seem to have issues with "gun control proponents" vs “gun reform advocates”

Is English your second language? I ask because I fail to see and differences in meaning.

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?

Who says that this is the government collecting information of purchases? Wouldn't they need a warrant to get and use such information?

Ownership of guns in communist countries is practically non-existent. The law is designed to remove guns from the public. Candy corns "good guys" are really just communists who desire more control and power.

Nothing.
It has to do with the state having a monopoly on force.

Colorado does not have a Communist government, not even remotely close, and when you guys say stuff like that you sound ignorant and retarded.

 

[Anathema]

I have t bought a firearm, ammo or accessory with anything other than cash I’m probably 20 years.

When you see that Colorado tried to exclude Donald Trump from the ballot and was voted down by the Supreme Court nine to nothing. When you see that Colorado is under Democrat fascist control and would create a registry of gun owners for what purpose? It is ignorant to think that communism couldn't happen here. Do you think there are not Communists that live in the United states? Who is ignorant and retarded?

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

Another fear is financial institutions have discussed not doing business with those in the firearm industry, to include retailers. The next logical step would be for banks to deny consumers the right to use a card to purchase ammo or firearms.

That will just bring rise to financial organizations that will.

Why would the government submit a bill requiring this information .. if it wasn't going to be used? Are you that naive?

That is the same thing I thought. What is the government's interest in having financial institutions collect this data?

I found this:

• Senate Bill 24-66: Credit card companies will need to provide a merchant code for businesses that sell firearms and ammunition. The goal is for those financial institutions to be able to recognize potentially dangerous purchasing patterns. Polis signed the bill into law last week.

Guns and ammo excise tax ballot measure approved by Colorado Legislature • Colorado Newsline

The Colorado Legislature passed two firearm-related bills in the final days of session, wrapping up a term that saw several gun bills pass.

So no you will have financial clerks looking for patterns? What possibly could go wrong?

I see.. so a credit card clerk will be making decisions on who can purchase firearms and ammunition. The language is too ambiguous, especially with what is considered a "potentially dangerous purchase pattern," and the outcome ... essentially profiling an individual's purchases. Yet .. sales of other items, like alcohol (which kills more people each year), knives, archery items like crossbows and arrows/bolts, and other items commonly used for homicides / suicides and assaults.

What a stupid bill ..

So

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?

how bout Voter ID then ?
