Lawmakers are pushing for a unique code to ID gun stores, like the ones used for everything from grocers to antique shops.
If credit cards had a code for purchases at gun stores, the same laws would let them flag if someone were spending large amounts of money at one dealer, or traveling to multiple gun retailers in a short amount of time. The legislators say that could ultimately help law enforcement to stop crimes like firearms trafficking, or even to prevent mass shootings., which uncovered eight cases when shooters used credit cards to buy guns and ammunition.
“This, I think, is simply using every tool that we have to help to stem gun violence,” he said. “And frankly, I’m not sure why anyone would be opposed to this, outside of trying to avoid controversy or the politics.” Keane noted that a buyer already needs to go through a background check to purchase guns from licensed dealers. He said sellers can also choose not to go through with transactions if they feel uncomfortable., the Seneca Sporting Range in Queens, told Gothamist he regularly limits prospective buyers.
But Keane worries a new code for gun sellers would lead to credit card companies interfering with people’s second amendment-protected rights.
