Frequently Asked Questions

What are the new credit card codes for firearms and ammunition purchases?

The ISO has implemented a new merchant category code (MCC) specifically for firearms and ammunition, moving away from the general 'sporting goods' classification. This aims to track these purchases separately.

Why are these new credit card codes concerning for gun owners?

These codes raise privacy concerns as they allow private companies to compile lists of individuals buying firearms and ammunition, potentially circumventing federal laws against centralized gun owner databases and enabling monitoring.

What is the NSSF's stance on the new credit card codes?

The NSSF views these codes as problematic, arguing they create 'junk data' for law enforcement and enable private monitoring of law-abiding citizens exercising their Second Amendment rights. They are actively working with Congress and credit card companies.

How do these new codes relate to Operation Chokepoint?

The implementation of these codes is seen as a modern echo of Operation Chokepoint, where financial institutions were pressured to deny services to certain industries. This new system could be used to apply financial pressure on gun owners and retailers.
