        Why stop there? Why not make a list of things the public in a “free” society can’t buy without big brother or bank peeping on? Porn? Sex toys? Knives? Fireworks? Gun powder? Chainsaws? Let’s just make a list of what gov finds objectionable. This is getting OUTRIGHT INSANE.

        Let us not forget that there are over 300 MILLION guns in this country, more than people in some estimates. With that many guns we see around 33,000 gun deaths, of which 66% or 22,000 are suicides. So we want banks to MONITOR PURCHASES for less than 11k, that aren’t all murder?

        We are seriously begging for government or big corporations to control our lives through any means necessary. It is terrifying.

        Every time I’ve bought a gun I’ve had to fill out paperwork to that was electronically sent to the state. What’s to stop me from using cash?

        Banks and credit card companies monitor every single purchase and transaction we make today, including guns. This is just posturing in lieu of action from major stake holders. Pathetic.
