The new purchase code could help banks and law enforcement discover unusual purchases, and provide an additional means for identifying and stopping potential attackers before a mass shooting, one advocate says. Learn more:

September 13, 2022, 1:54 PMA gunman in Aurora, Colorado, who killed 12 people in a mass shooting at a movie theater, in 2012, legally acquired weapons and ammunition using a credit card.

The move follows a decision from the International Organization for Standardization, or ISO, a group that makes guidelines for such transactions, which said on Friday that it would create the unique code that allows gun stores to mark credit and debit card purchases.Gun reform advocates applauded the step, while gun rights groups, such as the National Rifle Association, condemned it.

Until late last week, sellers of guns and other gun-related products shared a code with sporting goods stores. "The bank is aware you shopped at a gun store — now what?" Sullivan told ABC News. "What are the parameters going to be now? What are the lines you're going to cross?"What are the credit card companies saying?

"This is exactly how we would manage the process for any other appropriate MCC, like a bicycle shop or sporting goods store," the company added.

So now we're advocating for the government to review our purchases to find people they think might be dangerous? Going for the double play. Destroy the 2nd and 4th amendments at the same time

Big Brother is watching.

Criminals get their guns on the black market, use them in cities with strict gun laws such as Chicago, they don't purchase guns with credit cards

How would this stop mass shootings? And this is unconstitutional as hell, pathetic ABC

Credit card companies and banks are not in the business of being law-enforcement or investigators, they should not be sharing anyone’s information with anyone unless there is a subpoena or search warrant. Huge violation of the fourth amendment.

Jesus is coming back soon as a judge, repent of your sins, the wages of sin is death. Matthew 3:2 [2]'Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.'

Police cannot ask a third party to conduct a search when there’s no warrant because the 3rd party would be acting as a government entity. US Senators, members of the House, and POTUS asked Visa Mastercard AmericanExpress to monitor gun sales. That’s infringement of 2A by gov.

That headline is criminally misleading, it won’t stop the shootings and identifying them is never even the problem in any of these masa shootings 🤣 more centralized surveillance and oversight into law abiding citizens.

I can’t wait to hear how EXACTLY this is supposed to stop a mass shooter BEFORE he acts. You don’t have to scour my credit card receipts, I’ll tell you I’m armed to the teeth. Heck, c’mon over, I’ll show you. Buying a gun or guns does NOT make you a crazed murderer. The end.

Should we flag liquor stores and Marijuana dispensaries too? How about knives? Duct tape, shovels?

So does a person who shoots a lot competitively or whatever get flagged because they buy a lot of ammo? A mass shooter could conceivably buy a box or two of ammo and do a lot of damage whereas a person who just goes to the range a lot buys way more. I don’t get how this helps

Bull shit.

I can buy a gun, of any kind, with cash if I wanted so what's next? I wouldn't think of doing a mass shooting.

social credit score incoming

This seems unconstitutional.

“Transaction flagged and declined” works way better

This is straight a company impending on a a legal right visa

Well, I'm not a risk to be a mass shooter or bomber

Sure…..you guys won’t quit taking bits out of the 2nd amendment.

🔴⚪🔵 A great ideal...

Looks like cash is gonna make a comeback at gun dealers

At least someone is doing something!

ESG Or How I learned to stop worrying and love the hustle.

The way this government works, they will see it after it has already happened. To much bureaucracy to be effective. It's just overstepping

Would like to listen in detail how this works being that most criminals purchase illegally

Unconstitutional

Because criminals buy guns using a Credit Card 🤡 Look at Chicago, strict gun laws. Soaring gun violence, mass shootings EVERY weekend. Criminal thugs get their guns on the black market. LoriLightfoot

Please .. this is America .. nothing will change

Nothing more than a national registry tracking law abiding citizens.

The long and short of this article is more government surveillance.

'Our purpose is to uplift everyone, everywhere by being the best way to pay and be paid.' Visa you should rewrite this.

More government BS, when will the tracking stop, after your arrest for minor offenses ⁉️

Government outsourcing control

privacy? not so much. shades of 1984

Lol a new code to stop mass shootings

But HawleyMO and DonaldJTrumpJr are bitchin about it

Oh, lets do this! Hope VISA gets the shit sued out of them for being an accomplice to false arrest and imprisonment.

I have a novel idea… less guns. We’ve tried everything except this.

They really have no idea how this will be implemented it seems. The article even stated that.

No thanks

so now they’ll just buy them with cash. Am I missing something

Your credit card company has no business monitoring lawful spending habits at the behest of the government.
