The act also prohibits the creation of private firearm ownership registries.

This video, presented by an expert from Langley Outdoors Academy, details Senator Kirsten Gillibrand's call for the DOJ and Treasury to establish federal guidelines for financial institutions using new ISO-approved Merchant Category Codes (MCCs) for firearm and ammunition purchases.

The expert highlights the shift from private sector initiatives to federal government action and questions the definition of 'unusually large purchases.'

This video discusses the creation of a new ISO Merchant Category Code (MCC) for firearms and ammunition purchases, and the subsequent pushback from 24 state Attorneys General.

The Attorneys General argue this practice constitutes 'privatization of tyranny' and violates consumer protection laws.

This video discusses the significant development where Senate Republicans, led by Senator Roger Marshall, are threatening Congressional action against credit card companies like Visa, MasterCard, and American Express.

The lawmakers assert that such decisions should be made by Congress, not financial institutions or international standards organizations.

This video discusses a letter sent by 100 House Republicans to credit card companies, specifically MasterCard, demanding answers regarding the implementation of a new firearm-specific Merchant Category Code (MCC). The Republicans express grave concern that this MCC, created by the ISO following pressure from leftist activists, constitutes an "assault on the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens." The letter questions MasterCard's criteria for flagging transactions, potential circumvention of federal firearm registry laws, and fiduciary duties to shareholders by alienating gun owners.

This video from Guns & Gadgets discusses the recent approval of a new Merchant Category Code (MCC) for gun and ammunition sales by the International Standards Organization (ISO), following a petition from Amalgamated Bank. The speaker, an expert on Second Amendment issues, expresses strong concerns that this code will be used by credit card companies like Visa, American Express, and Mastercard to track and potentially flag legal firearm purchases, viewing it as an infringement on constitutional rights. The video highlights quotes from Amalgamated Bank CEO Priscilla Sims Brown, NY Governor Kathy Hochul, and NY Attorney General Letitia James, who support the code as a tool to combat gun violence, while the speaker argues it unfairly targets law-abiding citizens and advises using cash for purchases.

Amalgamated Bank attempted to establish a merchant category code for firearms and ammunition sellers with the International Standards Organization (ISO) to track purchases. This initiative was reportedly blocked by the credit card industry, citing concerns about infringing on freedoms. The ISO rejected the application twice, with Visa, Mastercard, and American Express employees arguing against it. The video suggests this effort could have provided law enforcement with a tool to identify gun crime, but also raises concerns about financial privacy.
