This video features William Kirk, President of Washington Gun Law, discussing a letter signed by 24 State Attorneys General to Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. The letter addresses the companies' intent to adopt a new International Organization for Standardization (ISO) merchant code, which critics argue could be used to track gun purchases. Kirk highlights this as a significant pushback from state governments to protect citizens' rights.
Major credit card companies like Visa, Mastercard, and American Express are implementing a new ISO merchant code to track and flag firearm and ammunition sales. This initiative, driven by pressure from members of Congress and Attorneys General, aims to identify suspicious transactions potentially linked to shootings and illegal gun trafficking. However, concerns are raised about the potential chilling effect on lawful gun ownership and the ambiguity surrounding the definition of 'suspicious activity.'
