Because that always happens. I am a Christian. Christian does not equal doormat or pushover "I Have Sworn upon the Altar of God...

I fear an MCC code specific for guns and ammunition would all of the sudden become a restricted code for several liberal banking institutions. It's a terrible idea, however I would never buy a gun or ammunition with my debit or credit card anyways. Go to the bank, get cash, problem solved. |

The issuer of the credit card for Cabelas was changed several years ago due to the fact the original issuer 'didn't like' the things they were selling. I've been married so long, I don't even look both ways when I cross the street. |

However take a category like online gambling which is MCC 7995 to be specific. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80243578 Several issuing banks in the U.S. do not support the category, so as a consumer even if online gambling is legal and regulated in your state, you're still shut out.

That is why they want to do away with cash, complete control over our lives Malu |

Just let that sink in. The mayor of NYC doesnt give one shit about gun violence and that is obvious. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 80939887 United States 09/10/2022 10:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Re: It Begins: NYC Mayor Eric Adams and Officials Urge Credit Card Companies to Create Weapon Code for Gun and Ammunition Purchases The mayor of New York City, Eric Adams, along with other elected officials and state pension fund trustees, have requested that major credit card companies implement a weapon code for the purchase of firearms and ammunition. Quoting: WTF IS WRONG WITH THIS SHITT 84157582 “New York City Mayor Eric Adams, New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, trustees of the New York City Employees’ Retirement System, Teachers’ Retirement System and Board of Education Retirement System, and elected leaders today called on American Express, MasterCard and Visa, three of the world’s largest credit card companies, to support a proposal to establish a merchant category code (MCC) for gun and ammunition stores,” according to the news release. Officials in New York City and the state of New York have asked American Express, MasterCard, and Visa to make a four-digit merchant category code (MCC) like the ones used for other retail categories to better identify and report suspicious behavior, such as large purchases of firearms. “The creation of a new code would help financial institutions detect and report suspicious activity, such as unusually large purchases of firearms or ammunition, or purchases from multiple stores, that may be used for criminal purposes,” it claimed.
