Visa says they're not tracking gun sales

By now, you already know that your credit card companies are spying on you. They’re watching for you to buy guns and/or ammo and will track those sales. Companies like Visa and Mastercard will be keeping an eye on those purchases.

And pro-gun lawmakers are less than thrilled, to say the least. Visa, however, says they’re not tracking those sales.

The Gray Washington News Bureau reached out to Visa for comment, and was sent a link to a blog post titled “Protecting Legal Commerce.” In it, Visa writes the new merchant code is from a global standards-setting organization that established the code for “gun and ammunition stores.”

Visa says in part: “Many misunderstood,”… that the company was, “advocating the use of the code to track gun sales as a potential tool in combatting gun violence.”
