It was two years ago when the plan was hatched by anti-Second Amendment forces and agreed to by giant Wall Street firms. The result would be a separate merchant category code (MCC) that would track credit card transactions for weapons and ammo.
Proponents weakly argued that this unilateral change would somehow enable law enforcement to ward off mass shooter events.
The reality is that it would lay the firm groundwork for a national gun registry, one of the primary goals of those who would eradicate gun rights altogether were it not for the Constitution.
This plan was set to be implemented before laws sprang up across the nation against it. Therefore, in March 2023 an announcement came from Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover that the rollout was “paused.”
Though victory appeared certain, there are now new challenges to ensuring that the MCC system is derailed. California lawmakers recently mandated such a protocol be implemented in the Golden State, and Colorado as usual is mimicking its larger neighbor.
This renewed the call for states to prohibit this practice, and Kentucky is the most recent to act.
Kentucky’s House Bill 357, otherwise known as the Second Amendment Privacy Act, is yet another barrier against this scheme.
Bluegrass State lawmakers successfully worked against enacting surveillance and scrutiny on lawful and private purchases that are not the business of the federal government.
National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) Senior Vice President and General Counsel Lawrence G. Keane celebrated the state’s action. “Kentucky’s lawmakers are showing their citizens what leadership-in-action looks like by protecting their privacy.”
Keane added that Wall Street firms will not be permitted to collude with Washington “to target them for exercising their Second Amendment rights.”
