In addition,
“A letter, drafted by Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Rep. Madeleine Dean of Pennsylvania and signed by over a dozen of their colleagues, urges the CEOs of Mastercard, American Express and Visa to back the creation of a merchant category code for gun and ammunition retailers — a measure the industry had initially resisted, according to an investigation by CBS News in June.
“The creation of a new [merchant category code] for gun and ammunition retail stores would be the first step towards facilitating the collection of valuable financial data that could help law enforcement in countering the financing of terrorism efforts,” the letter says.

Those would be “extremists”.
And those are anyone, according to the White House Press Secretary, who are “not in line with the majority of Americans.”

Do they have special merchant codes to track purchases of services at massage parlors, Nevada brothels and online porn sites ???

Who cares? Does anybody really buy guns with credit cards? Every single gun purchase I've made, the seller charges more for using a credit card versus cash so that negates any points I might have earned.
The bigger thing here is ammo and if you're ordering it online to be delivered to you, they are obviously already tracking it, so again who cares?

I’m sure Mitch, Lindsey, Kevin, etc. will have our backs.
Well Lindsey is used to looking at backs.

Sure but these are financial companies. Don't use CCs when buying guns or ammo.
Crypto. Precious metals.
"Who cares?"
I am so tired of that question.
The cops want to search you ... "who cares" if you are not doing anything wrong?
The gov wants to track you ... "wo cares" if you are not doing anything wrong?
They want you to register your gun purchases... "wo cares" if you are not doing anything wrong?
They want you to write your name on the ballot when voting ... "wo cares" if you are not doing anything wrong?
They want to track your GPS ... "who cares" if you are not doing anything wrong?
They want to track your cash deposits ... "wo cares" if you are not doing anything wrong?
...
Your way of thinking is the problem.
What are you going to do when cash is banned? ... maybe then you will start caring?
