Senator Kirsten Gillibrand wants the Federal government to start using the new merchant category code for firearm retailers.
Until recently, purchases from gun stores and dealers were labeled as 'sporting goods or miscellaneous,' making it impossible for law enforcement to monitor suspicious purchasing patterns.Now, Gillibrand wants the DOJ and treasury department to come up with a way for financial institutions to formally report suspicious activity to law enforcement.
Gillibrand says if merchant codes for gun and ammunition stores had been in place, it may have helped law enforcement stop some of our country's worst mass shooting tragedies.
