I guess through one source or another you’ve probably heard that just like FakeBook working for the CDC, and any other Federal alphabet that wants them to, same as Twatter in a Frankenstein combination of censorship and citizen control, the credit card companies have jumped on the donkey cart of big brother spying. The worst of private businesses working for the government against the citizens.
Mastercard Praises Congress’s Mid-Summer Passage of Gun Control
This announcement came after weeks of pressure from Gabby Giffords’ gun control group, Giffords, Democrat lawmakers in New York, and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D), all claiming that labeling gun purchases under categories such as sporting goods or general merchandise was not sufficient.
Hochul went so far as to contend that major credit card companies need to take action and “do their part” for gun control.
Credit Card Giants to Categorize Gun-Related Sales Separately, NRA Condemns ‘Erosion of Rights’
Visa announced Saturday that it is ready to join other major credit card companies to tag firearms-related purchases, a move that Second Amendment advocates argue would only put lawful gun owners under surveillance.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO), a Switzerland-based group that sets and monitors quality standards for industries of all types, on Friday confirmed that one of its subcommittees had voted to establish a new merchant category code (MCC) for firearms, which previously fell into the “general merchandise” category.
BRAVE NEW WORLD? Credit Card Companies To Use Special Code To Track Gun Purchases
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that the mayor of New York City, Eric Adams, along with other elected officials and state pension fund trustees, have requested that major credit card companies implement a weapon code for the purchase of firearms and ammunition.
Officials in New York City and the state of New York have asked American Express, MasterCard, and Visa to make a four-digit merchant category code (MCC) like the ones used for other retail categories to better identify and report suspicious behavior, such as large purchases of firearms.
“The creation of a new code would help financial institutions detect and report suspicious activity, such as unusually large purchases of firearms or ammunition, or purchases from multiple stores, that may be used for criminal purposes,” it claimed.
Well, for a change, I won’t be all doom and gloom. I heard about something today and I wanted to pass it along. Instead of big brother plastic, how about using coin? Except it’s spelled “coign”. I admit I’m guessing it’s pronounced “coin”. It’s the first credit card for conservatives. While some have been issued and are using their cards, there is a waiting list. But I’m hoping if they get a lot of people signing up that it will be a far better alternative to the woke credit card companies out there now. I’ll change in a heartbeat when my turn comes.
