Quote of the Day
Anti-gun New York Gov. Kathy Hochul’s signature on legislation requiring new merchant codes for firearm and ammunition purchases with credit cards is typical Democrat nonsense—penalizing honest gun owners for crimes they didn’t commit.

NY GOV. HOCHUL’S ANSWER TO VIOLENT CRIME: INVADE GUN OWNER PRIVACY | Citizens Committee For The Right To Keep And Bear Arms
It has nothing to do with public safety and everything to do with enabling tyranny.
Hence, in a certain sense, it is not nonsense at all. It is all according to plan.
Pulls $10 bill from wallet, adjusts bifocals, reads: “THIS NOTE IS LEGAL TENDER FOR ALL DEBTS, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE”. So the state of New York unilaterally decided it no longer accepts United States currency for certain financial transactions…. I wish congress would vote to declare them guilty of insurrection and declare war. Martial law can then be declared in New York, and an enormous decades overdue cleansing of human garbage can commence. I’ll settle for the US Treasury Department suing the State of New York for 150 Billion dollars in Federal Court
I didn’t read it that way. It seemed to say that the credit card record would show a specific code, but it doesn’t appear to ban cash sales. Sounds like an acceptable workaround. Not as good as voting the scum out or moving to an honest state, but if neither is an option, use the green stuff.
Since a national bill to the same effect got shot down, credit card companies don’t have a specific code for firearms and ammunition sales. They’d have to create one, just for the State of NY.
Read that again.
National (and internationally-operating) credit card companies will have to create a specific merchant code for firearms and ammunition purchases, because one state requires it.
Does anyone think that once this code is created, it will be limited to transactions in NY State? Or that once this road is paved, more States won’t go down it?
(Also, don’t think your debit cards will be safe; they use the credit companies as clearinghouses and collect the same merchant codes.)
You will wear your yellow gun star and like it. Ya!
can you say “burner” credit cards?
