I want to know how this scheme detects ‘when someone has bad intent<\/em>‘, which is a state of mind.\u00a0That sounds completely illogical, which, coming from the gun controllers is par for them.<\/p>\n

Proposed bill would establish a new code to categorize firearm sales<\/a><\/p>\n

DENVER (KDVR) \u2014 A\u00a0new bill aimed at curbing gun violence is making some headway in the state.<\/p>\n

SB24-066<\/a>\u00a0would establish a new code, known as Merchant Category Codes, to categorize firearm sales.<\/p>\n

MCCs are four-digit numbers that identify the type of business involved in a transaction such as grocery stores, department stores, etc. This proposed legislation would require payment card networks like Visa or Mastercard to provide a specific code for businesses that sell firearms and ammunition.<\/p>\n

Supporters claim this would help banks and credit cards recognize dangerous firearm purchasing patterns to alert law enforcement while those in opposition are calling it a backdoor form of registration.<\/p>\n

\u201cReally what it is, is just a four-digit code that bolts onto an existing system that banks and credit card companies use to protect themselves from illicit activity and when it comes to gun crime, that has the benefit of keeping us safe,\u201d Hudson Munoz said.<\/p>\n

Munoz, executive director of\u00a0Guns Down America<\/a>, is a supporter of the bill. He said these codes already help banks and card companies with fraud detection and assessing risk.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s inhibit criminal behavior a little bit by assigning the code to gun and ammunition stores so that when someone has bad intent when buying a weapon, there\u2019s an alert in place that stops that from happening,\u201d Munoz said.<\/p>\n
