Democrats have forced credit card companies to track your private Second Amendment-related purchases. It's basically a gun registry and fascism by proxy. There's a booming underground market for donkey penises in Africa. And Kamala Harris said January 6 is comparable to September 11, in some of her dumbest comments to date.

Use cash
gun purchases are going to seriously ding your social credit score, comrades
also remember not to make jokes about stalin’s mustache
How do you buy a gun on the Internet with cash?
Go buy a Visa gift card with cash and use that.
Buy visa gift cards at Walmart using cash. Then use those for your internet purchases. You could also support your local gun store if they have what you need.
Derp, like u aren’t already on federal lists when you buy a gun at the gun store.
They gonna go through millions of receipts for ALL merchandise you buy there? Nah
I ain’t ascared, I use my Visa debit to buy much cheaper bulk ammo online, free shipping, too.
Unlike most people here I shoot more that one box every 10 years, lolololol
Come and get me, I will do what I want.
It is still reported to Visa
I like to purchase locally but it turns out I'm shooting more per session lately than their purchase limits (for some reason). Until the feds crack down on online sales those are still a better deal.
And then willfully given to FedGov.
Still, buying a Visa Gift Card using cash only insulates you so far.
Buy from an online dealer using that gift card and your home address, you're still trackable.
I may pay a little more, I'll still use CASH when I go to my favorite local guns & ammo store.
YES, they have to fill out a transfer of ownership to me, that information stays with the store. It isn't sent to a federal registry (Unless that's happening without any of us knowing, which is unlikely)_ and is only available to FedGov upon a request/warrant.
Suggestion: ESTATE SALES. Just sayin'. Cash, family members of the deceased don't typically care where their dad's guns go, they usually just don't want 'em.
Yup! Even if you get a cash advance on your CC to do it. “Why yes Virginia, these people really are that stoopid.”
That’s always been the case. But it still a good reason to buy ammo and accessories from a traditional store using cash.
If you are going to use a credit card at your local gun store, most gun stores have gift certificates. Purchase the gift certificate for the price of the firearm. Support your Local shops!
Neither your name nor credit card number is associated with it.
I think the Mid term issue here is that any retailer or seller that is not exclusively firearms related will bail out of that business.
The “Dick’s” type of store that does/ did Guns& ammo as well as most of their revenue derived from other stuff will be “encouraged/ incentivized/ penalized” by the card companies to stop that business.
I would expect that the card companies will jack up the rates charged to vendors to cover “additional firearms related processing fees” from the now @ 3% to 5%+ and keep going until that business goes away.
Maybe they will do it only on firearms. But, as it’s too onerous to track, will expand that as they can’t be sure it’s not firearms related therefore, anything that store sells is assessed the higher fees (until they get out of that business).
What IS firearms “related”? Is it ONLY guns and ammo? Does a rifle sling get the additional? Do Hunting Shoes get it? Shooting glasses? A trigger lock? A scope?
Better be safe an just tack it on to everything!
If you purchase the card from a gun dealer it still gets tagged by the CC companies. Better to buy it at someplace like Wal-Mart and then use it at the gun store or online.
That will work. Also if you have to use your credit card at the gun store use the credit card for a cash advance and use the cash at the store.
There's a gun shop just down the street from me, 2 miles away, and that's where I got my micro 9mm (for concealed carry) and my M1A and ammo and their prices are comparable to what's on the Internet. Real nice people too! The guy who sold me both is a Iraq and Afghanistan War veteran and a competition shooter and knew his stuff.
The feds are not supposed to retain that NCIC background check by federal law. Does anyone seriously the feds are following this law? They break every law on the books and nothing happens to the agencies or their employees time and again. They know who has firearms, they just don’t have the manpower to forcefully take all of them without a blood bath on both sides. Thus the social credit system is their new hope.
