Good article....to sum it up "what if" the major credit card companies didn't process purchases for firearms? Paypal and some others already have this policy, but what would this do to the retail market if they wouldn't let you buy guns (or ammo)?

Cash for local purchases.

What would happen to the legal or illegal drug business?

This is a kooky kind of arrogance and groupthink that drives companies out of business. First, they would be hit with a boycott. Then, regulation. Finally they would be hit with competition. Soon oops they are toast. No company pisses off half the country and survives.

If you see a business executive focused on politics and not the bottom line, short the stock.

Yep, just go to cash or certified check. Would it be a hassle? Yes. Would it stop us? No.

Why do you think the push to eliminate cash...

The idea gives socialists/communists/leftists/dictators/Soros wet dreams

Just one more step towards complete dominance from the top down instead of from the citizenry up.

I can see a lot of people moving to a CC company that does allow firearm/ammo sales. That would make a damm fine commercial for same one like Lee Emery or Hickok45 doing a 30 second spot "S&W Firearms and Banking when your old American Excuse CC just can't cut it"

 

[welder516]

That is a reach , other forms of payment . Plus it has been pointed out large corporations 2A friendly would or should step up to even make more money .

Would be a good way for a gun manufacturer to diversify...

I'm good with barter, silver or cash American (Yankee green folding money).

I purposely am prepared.

I hate banks and cell phone and cable folks...and insurance folks and medical folks. Credit card companies are scum suckers. They don't need to add a reason to dislike or distrust them.

So this Times econ columnist must invest in cryptocurrencies, as that's where this proposal could drive the market.

What did people do prior to it being okay for the average household to have almost 20k in CC debt?

I don't think the CC folks accept payments for drugs and that doesn't slow the market down.

Hey! I take exception to that. Pretty sure that's not a blanket statement though.

 

[ToolAA]

These articles make me laugh.

If they could find some way of getting prostitutes and drug dealers to start accepting credit cards, they would.

You and Doc T are major exceptions. Moreso med insurance folks and some Docs...

Pls accept my humble apology.
