Gun sales will be specifically marked by credit companies to help monitor purchases

What do you call it when the state and industry collaberate to push the state's agenda?
Hints:
-It starts with an "F"
-It was popular in Europe from the mid 1920s to 1945

When you get the answer, you'll understand why Democrats wholeheartedly support this idea.
 
Update..Discover is moving to be the first to actually implement the new policy, starting in April:


Discover Financial Services, a provider of credit cards, told Reuters it will allow its network to track purchases at gun retailers come April, making it the first among its peers to move ahead with the initiative aimed at helping authorities probe gun-related crimes.
The decision came after the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which decides on the classification of merchant categories used by payment cards, approved in September the launch of a dedicated code for gun retailers.
Proponents of the move, including gun control activists and Democratic politicians, say it will allow financial institutions to better assist authorities in investigating crimes involving gun violence in the United States.

There has been uncertainty around the implementation, with Visa Inc, Mastercard Inc and American Express Co yet to disclose a timetable for adopting the change. Although the codes will not show specific items purchased, some Republican politicians have spoken out against the move, arguing it could violate the privacy of U.S. citizens lawfully buying guns.
 
So...I knew this was proposed..now it's real! Best break out the cash, gun nutz...Uncle be watching your cc bill!


Gun sales will be specifically earmarked in transaction histories, Visa Inc. announced on Sept. 10. It's a decision that will (hopefully) prevent these purchases from flying under the radar of investigators and help pinpoint suspicious sales surges. The change was also adopted by credit giants MasterCard and American Express.
The decision comes after a Sept. 9 announcement by the International Standards Organization, a global body that establishes standards across the financial services industry, that gun and ammunition merchandisers would be recategorized with their own commerce codes. Previously, these sales were lumped in with "general merchandise" or "miscellaneous" sales, or categorized under "sporting good stores" in a kind of recreational gray area. Now, the four-digit code for gun and ammunition sales will explicitly state the customer's transaction.
According to Guns Down America, a national gun violence prevention organization focused on legislative advocacy and reducing gun sales, many of the nation's worst mass shooting events — like those in Aurora, San Bernardino, Orlando, and Las Vegas — involved electronic payments for weapons and ammunition. Just in 2022, there have been more than 39,000 gun-related deaths and 425 mass shootings in the United States, according to the Gun Violence Archive.


"We could identify and detect where there may be gun sales that are intended for black markets, where we see patterns of gun purchases being made in multiple gun shops. We could see the patterns of behavior that would indicate to us that there is something not right here," explained Amalgamated Bank CEO Priscilla Sims Brown to CBS News during its investigation. "We have an obligation to address crime that is being facilitated through our system."

Good reason to not buy a gun with a credit card.

Part of a list there. Its probably not smart to buy booze, grass or tobacco with a card either, or to make contributions to political candidates that the Biden Regime disagrees with.

The Biden Regime is no different than the Trump Regime which was no different than the Obama Regime which was no different than the Bush II Regime

Yes they have.

But so have the Repubs.

Two wings, one bird.
 


You don't have to send your kids to church and our tax dollars don't support churches.......the democrats control the education system, in particular in the cities they control.....the Teachers unions.....democrat party money laundering entities...protect the child groomers ....and teachers far out do any religious leaders for sexual grooming of children.

So then that makes it excusable?

Just keep your kids out of church and all is well?

Republicans control most school systems. Look at the land maps showing what is actually blue and what is red.
 
Nope......republicans are simply corrupt.....the democrats are left wing fascists...you don't see the republicans grooming children for sex in public schools, wrecking the energy sector, and wrecking the economy.
We see the Republicans grooming mass murderers.

The fucked up thing is you seem to be happy about this. How about some kind of identification that shows a person is a firearm owner, kinda like the Star of David Jews had to wear in Nazi Germany.

Next comes bans and confiscations. What are you loons going to suggest for those who will not give up their Constitutional right, prison, death ?
 
Hmm...fewer guns out there, maybe less school shooting. This will surely piss off a huge majority of right wingers who are always pretending that they give a shit about the sanctity of life. They don't. The fetus...yes, human lives hell no including children of any age.
After a shooting in Israel in the 70's the country installed armed guards in every school. They have had 2 incidents since. Put fully vetted combat veterans in schools and there won't be another. Gun free-zones are bullet magnets and those with criminal intent do not follow laws.

This whole bullshit gun control debate isn't about safety it's about disarming law abiding citizens.
 
I wonder if it's specifically guns?

I wonder if discover card is also a part of this.

Or does it record and report ammo purchases, accessories, rebuild kits, parts and so on?

I mean all my guns I got at gun shows from private sellers with cash and no paper work. But I have bought ammo and parts online with my credit card.
