WFB: The West Virginia legislature last week passed a bill that would throw up a roadblock to prevent credit card companies from using a special category to track gun purchases, the first sally in what is likely to become a protracted political battle between the left-wing bank that spearheaded the initiative and Republican lawmakers across the country.
The move by the West Virginia state legislature follows expressions of concern at the state and federal level over the creation – at the behest of Amalgamated bank, the left-wing financial institution that services Democratic campaigns across the country – of a special designation, known as a merchant category code, for purchases made at gun stores.
It’s another indication that Amalgamated has dragged the credit card industry into what could be a protracted political battle: The bill’s passage follows on the heels of a letter from 24 Republican attorneys general sent a letter to credit card companies in September warning them against any effort to track or monitor gun sales.
Gun purchases were previously categorized as sporting goods, but Amalgamated last year led a successful campaign to create the new category, alongside existing categories for goods like groceries, airlines, and transportation. MORE
I pay cash for all my gun purchases. If you charge it it’s a permanent record and they can always go back and find it.
They’ll change it to “Assault Weapons Purchases”.
Just don’t forget Everybody. Life is short. Once you attain advanced years, for most of you, it will always be just a BEAUTIFUL DREAM upon this beautiful Earth (and everybody in it). So, don’t be so cynical. After witnessing the march of present-day Democrats, God likely gave the rest of us a soul. Apparently, they don’t need one.
I’m not cynical, just experienced.
West Virginia is to be applauded.
But if the banks are prohibited from tracking gun/ammo sales, how will they be able to properly serve their federal and world government overseers????
They must be shocked we don’t want to assimilate for our own safety of course, just like Hitler, Stalin and a host of others.
My last buying spree was during the height of the Tide Podz kidz scare. I should be set for a bit… Stil want a Bren MS2, though.
