AMEX DENYING 2nd Amendment companies accounts because of their “industry”[Watch]
It’s a developing story so he’s still checking into that conclusion.
We know they willingly piled on to the leftist scheme.

PayPal has backed away from fining its own customers up to $2,500 for promoting whatever it determines is “misinformation” … PayPal has reportedly repudiated its planned AUP revision and characterized the snafu as an error. [More]

I was looking forward to the lawsuits…
And to more excitable people getting their money’s worth out of these scoundrels in other ways…

Over 100 GOP Reps. Sign Letter to Credit Card CEOs: Which Gun Sales Do You Plan to Flag? [More]
My guess is they’ll play it on the risk management CYA side and not want to be accused of being negligent for NOT reporting someone who later creates a liability. That, and politically powerful tyrant wannabes will be putting on the squeeze.
It’s typical Opposite Day “progressivism,” really– they bow to an ISO category “standard” with no clearly defined and legally supportable standards for snitch triggers.

This is CNN
- Global standards body approves new merchant code for gun sellers
- Credit card companies will adopt new sales code for gun transactions
Neither one mentions the communist solidarity marchers behind Amalgamated. I wonder why they don’t think it important for people to know who our Democrat politicians and woke banks are listening to…
And the only one nominally on “our side” who is talking about it and who makes the Google News feed is Glenn Beck.
Metastasizing
A little over a month ago, merchant category codes for guns were still a little-discussed backdoor ploy.
Now they’re pounding on the front door with ISO announcing a global standard. (I know a bit about the process from a past life, back when everybody thought it was just about quality standards.)
Just a month and a half since my initial Firearms News warning, look at how this is dominating the narrative. Bottom line, if you want to do business, bureaucrats in Geneva say you have to turn snitch.
Funny thing about all those headlines spreading the same talking points: None of them are documenting the communist front groups behind the demand for this.

Where Credit is Due
Attorneys general from New York and California sent a letter Friday to the CEOs of three major credit card companies asking them to establish a specific code to identify purchases from gun stores. That code, called a merchant category code, could then be used to flag purchases of weapons and ammunition and make it easier for law enforcement officials in their investigations.[More]
I warned about this here and identified the literal communist supporters behind it here.

Democrats send letter to company offering buy now, pay later firearms financing – Lawmakers told Credova Financial of Montana they are concerned its deferred-payment plans could potentially fuel gun violence. [More]
Legal businesses, legal practices, absolutely no tie-in with the criminal subculture enabled and propagated by collectivist diktats and controls…
The grabbers keep looking for a new way in.
Just once I’d like to see a CEO with the guts to tell these communist publicity whores to go f*** themselves in no uncertain terms.

Credit card companies could detect any unusual activity, and submit a suspicious activity report with law enforcement, if needed. This type of activity monitoring would prove to be particularly important, Brown said, in detecting when someone purchases large amounts of weapons, or when someone is buying weapons for somebody that is not legally allowed to do so.
