Discover Card will begin tracking firearm and ammunition purchases in April 2023 using a new Merchant Category Code (MCC). This move, followed by pledges from Visa, Mastercard, and American Express, is viewed by critics as a privacy violation.

Legislative efforts in Florida and West Virginia aim to prohibit such tracking within their states, and U.S. Representative Lauren Boebert has called for a congressional review.
