Praise God! This will keep Americans safe from having the government involved in their private purchases.

The decision is, at the same time, also a defeat for gun control groups. There had been hope that categorizing credit and debit card purchases would allow authorities to potentially see red flags — like significant ammunition purchases — before a mass shooting could happen.

After Visa and Mastercard announced their plans to implement a separate merchant category code for gun shop purchases, the payment networks got significant pushback from the gun lobby as well as conservative politicians. A group of 24 GOP state attorneys general wrote a letter to the payment networks threatening legal action against Visa and Mastercard if they moved forward with their plan. …

Visa and Mastercard have said that the reason for the gun shop category was a decision outside of their control.

The Unted States needs to uphold its position as a country with the most mass shootings and gun deaths. Do we want some other trivial country with no great history of gun violence overtaking us. Surely God intends us to continue the slaughter!

    Yes the legislators need to find all of the ILLEGAL guns and confiscate them! Find the true criminals that are let out of jail by democrat D.A.s, and then they go and kill someone! Praise GOD for the 2nd Amendment that allows Americans to protect ourselves and defend ourselves against foreign or DOMESTIC threats! Hallelujah! Thank YOU FATHER GOD for the 2nd Amendment in JESUS NAME!

By the way you guys if you want all the latest Second Amendment news there’s a YouTube channel by the name of Guns and Gadgets.. the moderator or facilitator the guy that owns the channel is very well informed and I believe he is recently retired law enforcement.
