Good morning FReepers and Merry Christmas. I didn't see this "gift" from the nyt the other day but here it is. So, how long, if some don't already, before the cc companies decide, in the interest of safety, to deny firearms transactions? Shhhhhh. They probably won't think that someone might be bright enough to just get a cash advance and proceed anyway.
Merry Christmas.

Next up will be denying gas purchases using a credit card because cars kill and maim.

This had already been happening a couple of years ago in certain locations. O-hole’s administration put pressure on some banks to dump bank accounts of some firearms manufacturers and gun shops. The slimes is just trying to get the ball rolling again.

As opposed to the way the media, like the NYT, ‘wittingly’ encourage mass killers by making super stars and household names out of them when they murder people.

Which is why the left wants a cashless society where some transactions are banned (guns, ammo) and everything is tracked and taxed.

A pathetically blatant attempt to introduce another way to make firearms purchases more difficult. These people always think they’ve being very clever but it’s obvious to anyone with even a modest IQ.

WHY are car manufacturers selling cars to mass murderers? Shouldn’t they be held responsible too? Why isn’t David “The Media” Hogg pounding the podium on this?

During the last .22 ammo dearth, folks ‘invested’ in ammo bricks, paying with the card.
“It’s here on the shelf. Better get it now! I can pay later.”

Lots of ways around their pathetic attempt to stifle gun or ammunition purchases.

Gun store price for XXX gun, $499 or 499 tokens.
Gun store price for 1 token, $1
Customer buys 499 tokens for $499
Customer gives his 499 tokens to gun store, and after gun store runs whatever background checks or other obstacles put in place by govt, customer walks out with his gun of choice.
Description of charge on credit card, 499 tokens.

I bet the guy that bought the booze for the NYT Christmas party used a credit card.

Liberal snowflakes (yeah, I know, redundant) should be yelling at people driving cars because they’re potential killers.

Ban credit cards! That’d solve a lot of problems and not just mass shootings.

Or, as I said, get a cash advance. Yeah, I know. Didn’t want to take a chance of walking away from it. Lucky for me I stumbled on a bunch of it right before the “crisis” that a widow had brought to the store to get rid of. All unopened boxes and probably 30% below retail at the time. Sometimes you just land in the right place at the right time. :-)
Merry Christmas.

Money has been involved, in one way or another,
in every single crime in history.We must banish money!

Prisons are stuffed full of democrats. The "mass shooters" have all been democrats/leftists. Baltimore & Chicago democrats have racked-up huge body counts.
If only law enforcement had a way to track & monitor these red flags, Americans would be spared countless, horrific crimes.

You mean the same party that someone drunk drove away from and takes out a family of 5 but survives unscratched? That credit card fueled Christmas Party? Sad commentary on society. But luckily the repeal of the 18th Amendment gives folks the right to get plastered and drive. Right?
Merry Christmas.
