Boycott Visa for their plans to categorize gun sales
I call upon every gun enthusiast to boycott Visa for their Unconstitutional plans to categorize gun purchases

Mastercard & American Express are obviously watching to see what happens next

Mastercard and AmEx are on board already.
Looks like we'll pay cash for guns and ammo from now on.

You're gonna have to boycott everything but cash.

My charge card has a cash advance, just like using the Visa card. I will take a cash advance and use that to purchase my 'tools'. And then pay it back just like using my card.

If only there was some type of easily transportable physical token of monetary value that you could use to exchange with merchants for durable real goods and or services. Maybe this "currency" should be readily available in different denominations of variable value, and light enough so that one could easily carry multiple pieces of it on your person at all times. Perhaps some type of very lightweight yet durable linen product would make a good choice to print this currency upon. Oh, and lets put pictures of dead historical figures on them.

Re: Boycott Visa for their plans to categorize gun sales
Excellent discussion about these new credit card codes. Our new and improved Socio-Fascist NKVD is essentially privatizing their f00king database. Gotta always be on offense. They. Never. Ever. Stop.
The firearms industry needs to nip this Bolshevik crap in the bud and make it AS EASY AS credit cards to pay via money orders, cashier's checks and digital currency (& obviously ca$h for LGS) for purchases. SKREW AMEX, DISCOVER, MC and VISA... Bypass them completely, no data, no database

Re: Boycott Visa for their plans to categorize gun sales
From another RKBA list, worth some thought.
More on the new "merchant category" here <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://leg ... jSUqNgavqH$ >. And again, look at the named idiots crowing over their victory, including Lieawatha, Eric Adams, and the CA and NY AGs.
Key point to remember is that the new code doesn't categorize your purchases, it categorizes your MERCHANT. If you buy $2,000 of hollowpoint from WalMart, no difference from today, because WalMart is a "general merchandiser." If you buy a gun safe or two high-end elephant guns (for a safari honeymoon) from Scottsdale Gun Club, your purchase is taggable as worthy of investigation. The new code is nothing but a "yellow star" for your gun dealer.

Re: Boycott Visa for their plans to categorize gun sales
Most cards, well every card I’ve ever read the agreement, charge the interest on a cash advance immediately, not on the unpaid balance at the end of the billing cycle……this is not a good plan.

Looks like a guy will have to dip into the cash stash to avoid this dilemma

Not to mention most, if not all, charge a 3-5% fee on the advance.

Re: Boycott Visa for their plans to categorize gun sales
Yeah the pre paid cards or gift cards has me wondering, so lets say we buy a gift card or cards for said amount of 2k on a credit card to ones favorite sporting goods store.
You buy a gun and ammo on the gift cards, that would eliminate the purchase tracking codes the credit
card companies are implementing, correct?
All in the name of telling credit card companies to kiss your azz

Re: Boycott Visa for their plans to categorize gun sales
It’s not item level, it’s merchant level. Whether you purchase gift cards from XYZ sporting goods or guns and ammo from XYZ sporting goods it’ll be classified the same way.
You would have to buy the prepaid Visa/Amex/Mastercard cards that cost you a premium and the processor still gets their merchant fees on top of it. I guess if you’re trying to line the pockets of the ones you’re “boycotting” that’s a good idea.
