American Express, Visa, and Mastercard have announced they will comply with a California law that requires the companies to begin using a merchant code specific to firearms and ammunition retailers.Major credit card companies are moving to make a merchant code available for firearm and ammunition retailers in order to comply with a new California law that will allow banks to potentially track suspicious gun purchases and report them to law enforcement, CBS News has learned.
Retailers are assigned merchant codes based on the types of goods they sell, and the codes allow banks and credit card companies to detect purchase patterns.

Did they want an underground gun economy, because thats how you get one. Communism on the march. Buy privately, use cash. No bill of sale, no background check.

Cash only! Buy from private individuals! I’ve never filled out a form to buy! And I have a “couple” of firearms!

Presume this is an end-run around the gun registration list the Democrats have been wanting for so many years.
You know the type they can use to go to your home under some flimsy excuse to confiscate your firearm(s) and infringe on your Constitutional Right.

This needs to be challenged as unconstitutional. Even though it doesn't prohibit purchase of guns and ammunition, it constitutes surveillance of citizens who have done nothing wrong and for whom there is no warrant for any probable cause. It must be reversed.

I purchased powder recently for reloading ammunition....with cash. All future gun and ammo purchases will be cash deals.

That those who use guns illegally don't procure them with credit cards tells you who the target demographic of this law is.

All of this evil starts in California. Remember homosexual marriage that was voted against by the PEOPLE IN CA BUT THE CA SUPREME COURT turned against the people of CA and gave that right to the LBBTQ community. The Left has always used the COURTS to get what they want when the People vote against them! So what starts in CA will soon be coming to your State!

I don't even put my shooting club membership on any card..let alone firearms or ammunition.
I was living in Calif., had a job offer to work a 6 month contract as a civilian with a federal agency, one of the conditions was that all members of the agency teams had to carry the same weapons, for "Unit Cohesion". I went to buy one, even though I held a high level security clearance and worked regularly with Law Enforcement agencies, There was a "delay" in my permit to purchase. I ended up simply trading another gun for the model I needed with a SF Based Treasury agent. No paper work, no wait, no Tax, no records. And for the next 9months I carried it on planes, in and out of govt buildings, in the presence of high ranking public officials..including Biden,and Obama...in over twenty states, and in the most "Gun Controlled" places in the nation.
THEN...when the contract was up, and it's 3month extension was up, Obama and Biden were in the Whitehouse instead of the Senate, I was called into the "Home Office" in DC, thanked for my service and relived of my duties. The Asst Director shook my hand and as I turned to leave said..."Wait, I want your card", so I fished out my personal business card and handed it over, he tucked it into his vest pocket then said.."Uhm, I'll also need your security card/carry card", and suddenly I was armed, in a Federal Building, in Washington, DC, an instant felony criminal, still facing at least one flight to get back to the West Coast. Luckily it was a thurs, so I knew there would be flights west out of Andrews to the bay area, carrying Calif congresscritters with gates manned by people that knew me, and I could likely slip aboard. I wondered the whole way there, and as I was waiting, whether it was all a set up, and if everyone not firmly aligned with "Their side" was going to get rounded up...I had a friend pick me up from the Airport when I got back out west, and locked my guns up for several weeks. Not daring to take one outside of the house. I ended up putting the house up for sale, cashed in and moved from the state. Rarely miss it...

I would not underestimate the ability of gun owners to thwart this requirement. Gun owners are a lot smarter than the left-wing hacks that sit in the California legislature.

Cash. Use Cash. Registering a gun sale is like inviting the law into your home when they pass the gun ban.

Make sure you have all you need now and pay cash for future purchases. Never buy anything from California. If you live there you are already screwed. The next step is to call every gun purchase suspicious and build a "terrorist" data base using patriots.

Yep. Cash or barter but a licensed dealer will still require form #4473 (the one Hunter lied on). Best to buy privately. I am an old man and not expecting to engage in a gunfight a la Earp and Tombstone but I can see a time when the ferals might have stripped the cities of most food and start branching out to the small towns and countrysides. Best to have a stash of MRE’s, etc. and plenty of ammo.
I hate it but this is where the left brought us to. A once great, mostly peaceful country having to turn into armed enclaves to survive.

This is an effort to create a firearm registry, which is then used to confiscate firearms. The article is unclear whether those companies are using that code nation wide because of a law in California. I suspect they are.
