CREDIT CARD PROCESSING COMPANY REJECTS FIREARMS INDUSTRY

[Hazcat]

REFUSES TO PROCESS TRANSACTIONS . . . Citi Merchant Services and First Data Corp. are refusing to process any credit card transactions between federally licensed firearms retailers, distributors and manufacturers -- a move which will severely limit available inventory of firearms and ammunition to military, law enforcement and law-abiding Americans.

The first company to be affected by this decision appears to be firearms distributor CDNN Sports Inc.

The date is January 7 2007  but if you follow the link to the letter from the bank it is dated 12/26/07 so it might be that NSSF dated their release wrong.

UDATE:  It looks as though NSSF dated theirs wrong.  The notice is from the current (2008) Bullet Points.

This shows yet another way the Anties can mess with us.

Time to get rid of all of our CITIBank cards, mortgages etc. !

Don't switch to ank of America, They issue credit cards to illegal aliens, If you tell them your an illegal, they waive the ssn requirment.

Notice that was the 2nd letter?    I would love to see the 1st where they list the reason behind the termanation of the contract.

I have a feeling like him selling anything over the net/mail order/phone  was against his Merchant contract.( its a very common  in contracts as they charge biz that do non face to faces sales more.) There has to be alot more going on then just that letter...




here is  the letter.

This letter is total BS. Citi has no responsibility I am aware of for enforcing the Gun Control Act, nor is interstate selling illegal since CDNN goes through legal channels, i.e., FFLs. This has nothing, in their own words, to do with direct selling vs. merchant selling, this letter makes clear it is about evil GUNS.

Can 'em. Dump 'em. Refuse to do business with anyone with a Citi card. And tell Citi what you're doing and why.

MB,

You have contacts at NSSF (you started it didn't you?).  Can you get us some more details?

Another example of the banking industry doing as it pleases. ZERO oversight by our elected officials.

I wish I did business with them just so I could tell them where to go.

I am not sure if Armalite stated the company, but they ran into the very same thing and had to shut down their online ordering system.
