I will not use any payment method that will not process firearms transactions, even for non-gun purchases. All of my economic activity is political, and I’m boycotting GM forever because of their corrupt bailout, along with TARP banks, and these payment processors.

Can you imagine the amount of hacking efforts you will have to endure and government regulation and invasion into your data.

I can see a lawsuit coming... I can’t see how a processor can refuse to honor the purchase of an item that can be legally sold.

Exactly...the gubmint morons don’t understand that by making people use cash, they cannot track gun sales. I would never pay credit for a gun or weapon.

We reserve the right to refuse service...unless, of course, the refused is gay or muzzie, in which case, there would be basis for lawsuit. Otherwise....freedom of the payment processor.

What does it matter? FFL dealers have been part of the destruction of the 2A for too many years at this point. The 2A does NOT say, shall not be infringed, as long as you have a background check. Forgive me if I don't feel sorry for the FedGov butt kissers.

How many people are looking to get into the credit card payment processing business. The Adnimistration is creating a market opportunity here for somebody to open Choke Point Bank.

There is a huge client base there. Somebody will make a lot of money.

Careful. You could end up in prison.

How about getting your salary in bitcoins, like the employees of overstock.com?

Yep, I guess if the FFL was gay, black or Muslim the DOJ would be all over the processors for refusing service....

There is money to be made by those who offer alternatives

That’s because some payment processors explicitly prohibit the use of their systems for online — and some in-store — sales of firearms, ammunition and certain accessories.

Which is their business because....

IOW, if you create a payment mechanism, is it really any of your business what legal commerce two willing parties engage in using your system?
