    I've been working on this NYT project for months: Many of the deadliest mass shootings in the US were carried out by killers who used credit cards to buy high-powered weapons+ammunition that they couldn’t otherwise afford. No one was watching.https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/12/24/business/dealbook/mass-shootings-credit-cards.html …

        My concern equals yours, but the broader suggestion, expansion of credit card surveillance is chilling! Every credit purchase evaluated against your identity profile, by AI models, in real time, distributed to any government agency that wants it? Really? What could go wrong 🙈

        Not at all. Guys like Sorkin know exactly what they’re doing. This is being reported to put pressure on credit card companies so they’ll feel political heat and deny gun purchases via credit card. These people are boot stomping fascists to the core.

        Excerpt: “A labyrinth of rules prevents banks and credit-card networks — many of which also handle debit card transactions — from seeing exactly what customers are buying.” Good. What I buy is my business.

        More mass shootings are helped by the establishment of “Gun Free Zones”. Over 95% of mass shootings occur in these “safe” places. Look it up.

        I've worked for months on this: many people used automobiles to travel to the gun stores in the first place. Car dealerships were not watching!

        Fascinating. However I’d guess most guns are purchased on credit. Is there another factor to tie in to limit? Just checking credit purchases likely not enough to raise red flag

        They're going to try and make firearms purchases with credit cards impossible. Shuts down gun shops. Defacto bans.

        Which is hilarious because they simultaneously use the reverse argument to justify weed legalization. “Need to bring it out of the shadows”

        Whatever they need to do to disarm the populace is justified. Ends justify their means.
