Visa tracking gun sales

I've been following this for the past week.

Payment Processor Visa To Start Categorizing Sales At Gun Stores

Visa’s adoption is significant as the largest payment network, and will likely add pressure for Mastercard and American Express to adopt the code as well.

These POS need to move to China - commie bastards

Why don’t they lock up the criminals that do these crimes. The tool has nothing to do with it if some idiot is not pulling the trigger.

Another reason to use cash.

The day will come when you pass the background check but get denied at the check out....

I've been following this as well. Never ceases to amaze me the lengths some will go to get their way. Cash is King until I get my chip installed...

They are trying to outlaw this too.

I've just always assumed that any kind of electronic payment or activity is being monitored by some alphabet agency that isn't supposed to be doing it but will face no consequences if caught, and promise not to get caught again.

Hell taking your cell phone to a gun store is probably putting you on a list.

Wouldn't a prepaid gift card get around this?

They been doing this for years andnothing new. They have shown you for years that you spend xxx on gas xxx on food and xxx on entertainment.

Ok with that being said how many Stores that sell nothing But Gun items be forced to take on other sporting goods items so they can get classified as a sporting goods retail store? Like Walmart, academy, Rural king or Ace hardware.

They can trace damn near everythimg about us now

Those are put out by either Visa or mastercard. There are untraceable purchase methods available, similar to a VPN however you can't use these in person.
