Democrats want to use banks to squelch gun purchases like they used social media to silence political opponents

(Natural News) Democrats continue to find new and inventive ways to prove theirs is the party of authoritarianism and tyranny, defying their claim to support ‘democracy.’

Thanks to billionaire Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter and his commitment to free speech and expression, we now know that left-wing staffers on the platform were cooperating with the Democratic Party not only to censor conservatives but also to have them banned from the virtual public square altogether. Musk provided all of the evidence to journalist Matt Taibbi, who published a lengthy Twitter thread revealing the collusion and corruption last week.

Now we learn that Democrats are working with left-wing financial corporation executives to quash gun purchases through tracking.

According to semi-retired newsman Don Surber on his blog:

Priscilla Sims Brown, president and CEO of Amalgamated Financial Corporation, announced her bank will closely track gun purchases that use credit cards.

Bloomberg reported that the bank will screen gun purchases and file a Suspicious Activity Report to the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network.

She noted to the outlet: “We’re at the very early stages of this — this particular code just got approved in October, so those detection scenarios are still being brought together. But as this is implemented, those scenarios will be used.”

Mind you, it is not against the law to buy guns in America, obviously, so there is no reason to ‘track’ the sales, let alone report gun sales to any federal agency as “suspicious activity.” So the fact that any bank — or any entity — would do so voluntarily is worse than outrageous, it is an unconstitutional violation of privacy rights.

Surber went on to make his own observations regarding the unethical and illegal collusion between banks and congressional Democratic tyrants.

“We call this merger of government and businesses fascism. Amalgamated is a small bank with assets of $6.6 billion. My suspicion is it will serve as a prototype for larger banks. I suppose people could get around this by paying in cash but the government limits how much cash a person may carry,” he wrote.

He went on to note that Bloomberg News, which is owned by billionaire “Mini Mike” Bloomberg, an opponent of private gun ownership (and by default, the U.S. Constitution), noted, “The International Organization for Standardization approved a new merchant category code earlier this year that banks will use when processing transactions for gun and ammunition stores after Amalgamated submitted an application on the matter. Gun-control advocates were quick to celebrate the move, arguing it would help banks flag suspicious activity at these retailers.”

“While major payment networks have said they would adopt the new code, some have argued it won’t have its intended effect. Visa Inc., for example, has said it doesn’t have access to data showing the products consumers are actually buying. That means the network and its banking partners would have no idea if a gun-store customer is purchasing an automatic rifle or safety equipment,” the outlet continued.
