A bill that would prevent credit-card companies from using a code that could help track firearm and ammunition sales has been signed into law by Gov. Ron DeSantis Friday.
During a news conference in Fort Myers Friday, the governor said the legislation is stopping companies from raising red flags about people who are exercising their constitutional rights.
“They can tag you or flag you as being somebody that somehow should be looked at and that’s just fundamentally wrong,” DeSantis said. The issue deals with concerns that credit-card companies could establish a separate “merchant category code” for sales at gun businesses. Similar four-digit codes are already used to separate purchases and collect data from places such as grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants, and bookstores.Major credit card companies have attempted to monitor the transactions of firearm retailers and consumers through unique merchant codes, which could then be used to “flag” law-abiding citizens.
