Regardless of what ends up being the method that de-facto makes firearms inaccessible —whether by law or via commercial banning of purchases — there will likely be a revolution that follows.

They got that figured out. The long term goal of both the welfare statists and the deep state is moving to ban cash and outlaw possession of cash under the guise of fighting terrorism and drugs.
Following the footsteps of India, Austrailia, Sweeden, Netherlands, Singapore, etc US Senators are looking at controlling and eventually eliminating cash. This issue has been frequently published.

All it takes is another Democratic President to write an executive order like FDR drafted banning citizen ownership of gold that stood for nearly 45 years. It is not far fetched for even future black market criminal street purchases, bartered merchandise will be in play.

Fuck em! I use cash locally and send checks to save the 2-3% anyway. Recently did an e check, smooth as silk.

I use My CC and get cash back . All purchases are stored for how long: I don't know. And if they get "off" by monitoring My purchases for guns or ammo......they'll be busy and maybe a 2nd shift...Hey...I'm helping the economy. (I always pay My card completely at every cycle so I feel I'm using them also)
Yawn....
Is fine, I will take my business elsewhere then!
Let's see... Typical 3% charge to vendors made by on some 2 million purchases (NCIS), let's say average $500 purchase... Yeah ok! Let's see who blinks first!
Someone will jump right in to take that $$$
No worries!

AS MY grandpa always said.. “Dayten you can’t pay a prositute with a credit card, but you can pay her with cash”
Sike he didn’t say that.

My primary FFL does not take credit cards. No bank fees for transactions passed on to his customers. Low overhead = better prices.
What's funny is when gun sales drop so dramatically that wildlife funding takes a major hit.
Thanks to the NRA there is a 6% (I believe that's the amount) tax already included in all NEW gun sales which is then used for wild life preserves and national forests

How is it any of their business what I purchase?
I hope everyone knows that they can track your purchases via your credit card. Went to Lowes with a return and no receipt.
Not a problem. Swipe the card, scan the SKU....You bought this May 12, 2016
You can search your Ebay purchases for atleast 3yrs back as well.
As stated, unless you have cash, someone can find it.
Question.
If you purchase a gun from a big box store and they do the paperwork on a computer ( nics & 4473 ) do they tie the serial # and model info into your NICS and all goes into the data base?
The FFLs I use do it on paper and one guy said the he does not include the SN/ model in the NICS just the type ( long gun, pistol , other) as the NICS is on the buyer, not the item.
Not sure if that is common practice though.

I'm pretty sure they know who has what already
This.
But they will devise better more efficient and accurate ways to keep track and update their databases.
