i think the motherwefers are coming at guns in several ways and this is one. i also suspect that next year or soon thereafter another method will be as the hunger games begin due to no food, which is in process if you ain't noticed, will be you get food for trading guns, and they know what you have. this is one illustration on why you don't want a cashless society;

Gun rights advocates warned that a new change to the credit card industry to add a firearm and ammunition-specific Merchant Category Code (MCC) for gun stores wasn't about tracking guns necessarily, but could lead to the denial of lawful firearms purchases by law-abiding citizens.

In September, Visa, Mastercard, and American Express all said they would adopt the MCC code to categorize sales at gun shops; months later, several social media posts of alleged gun stores and customers claim they experienced card issues.   

Twitter account "Battlecock Tactical" tweeted, "Federal Firearms License [gun shop] in a Facebook group shared this. Looks like the doomers accurately called how that new firearms merchant code would go down." 

Battlecock Tactical's images show what appears to be a retail POS system at an FFL that reads $913.70 transaction was "declined." The error code on the merchant's computer read: 

"Transaction declined: Charge declined RESTRICTED CARD Customer bank does not allow this card to be used at this type of merchant."
