We’ve reported in recent months how several states are considering or have passed legislation forbidding credit card companies from using a special Merchant Category Code (MCC) for gun purchases that would basically create a registry of guns bought by Americans. Now, a U.S. Senator from Tennessee has introduced federal legislation along the same lines.
On April 9, Republican U.S. Sen. Bill Hagerty’s bill, S 4075, the Protecting Privacy In Purchasing Act, would ban the use of a firearm retailer-specific MCC nationwide.
