SB214 forbids financial institutions from using an identifying code for purchases from firearm or ammunition retailers.
The Senate passed SB214 on March 23, 2023, by a vote of 27 to 11. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because this bill prevents the unlawful use of credit card payment information to track firearms purchases. Recent adoption of a new merchant category code for “gun and ammunition shops” by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)—a globalist collaborative linked to the United Nations—aids unconstitutional efforts by the federal government to conduct mass surveillance, which, in part, is intended to create a national gun-owner database and confiscate firearms from law-abiding citizens. States should nullify any such actions taken by private or public entities, that frustrate, if not blatantly violate, the Second and Fourth Amendment rights of the American people.
