    Good, this is a complete violation of privacy and very unconstitutional as far as government oversight goes. This is a step forward



  2. Marengo Czar on March 18, 2023 at 2:37 am

    This a legitimate issue as 70% of all illegal gun found to be in possession of cartels and drug organizations are trafficked from the USA.

    People don’t want to be monitored but they the same one’s complaining about crime involving guns. You can’t have both.



  4. Mike on March 18, 2023 at 2:42 am

    Totally absurd. These companies are not supposed to be the police.



  5. Serg on March 18, 2023 at 2:46 am

    Criminals buy guns with credit cards now? Lol then just pull cash from credit cards and buy the gun lmao these ppl r idiots



  6. Incognito on March 18, 2023 at 2:49 am

    shall not be infringed

    Wow few hours ago I was able to pick up $11,000 Maskoffaid generated for me



  8. Christopher Walken on March 18, 2023 at 2:53 am

    Great to see this plan fail. People should be free to purchase as many guns as they want. Sorry Elitists, we actually want to protect ourselves.



  9. George Robinson on March 18, 2023 at 2:55 am

    She thinks they can hide their intentions by claiming criminals buy their guns with credit cards!!! What a moron!



  10. Douglas Macgregor on March 18, 2023 at 3:00 am

    What I see here is this SJW bank executive conflating legitimate gun shop purchases with criminal activity. This is an invasion of privacy against those who have no criminal intent. In other words, this is backdoor gun control and a flanking move against the second amendment!



  11. Yeah Nah on March 18, 2023 at 3:00 am

    Don’t let that happen America.



  12. George Robinson on March 18, 2023 at 3:01 am

    It’s funny that this woman can’t come up with a viable reason for this type of covert gun control… I would bet they wanted to ban purchases of firearms and Ammo but were unable to, so they try the next worse thing…



  13. Splendid Snapshot on March 18, 2023 at 3:11 am

    Andrew Ross is nothing but Democrats sheep, though I have to admit he is sharp.



  14. Herp Derp on March 18, 2023 at 3:12 am

    Good. I hope it gets cancelled. These people don’t want you to have rights and they want you to be slaves to them.



  15. Brendon Bosy on March 18, 2023 at 3:13 am

    all this will do is increase the number of ATM withdrawals



  16. Jonathan Anderson on March 18, 2023 at 3:13 am

    There is a difference between cancel culture and me no longer wanting to be a Patreon of your business. losing all my paying subscribers because I did something they didn’t like isn’t the same as banning someone from all social media, major payment processors and calling their boss en mass to demand the firing of the person



  17. GRC on March 18, 2023 at 3:15 am

    The payment processors have ZERO plausible reason to monitor whatever legal merchandise that I choose to spend my hard earned money for. Period. Rather, protection of my PRIVACY should be their legal obligation.



  18. Mike on March 18, 2023 at 3:18 am

    Disgusting



  19. Clinton Holcomb on March 18, 2023 at 3:19 am

    She looks like one angry woman. Lord free her of those demons



  20. Johnny Rico on March 18, 2023 at 3:21 am

    Criminals don’t use Mastercard to buy guns.



  21. Rob G on March 18, 2023 at 3:22 am

    This is crazy what’s this world coming too. That’s why you stack gold silver bullets and crypto. Screw this tyrannical government and banks



  22. tdub18914 on March 18, 2023 at 3:23 am

    Communist left does not approve.



  23. qwerty on March 18, 2023 at 3:26 am

    You brainwashing anti American globalists. This is all part of the open plan of extreme left Democrats and RINO Republicans to take American’s guns. This has NOTHING to do with illegal activities. Because illegal activity is not monitored here. You want to spy on American citizens going around the legislation. Because you are lying. No such law passed! If yes what is the number of the law? You are going to flag big gun spendings of individuals and notify the local authorities so they can use the "red flag" law to take your guns without due process.
