The anti-gun lobby wants the major credit card companies to flag you buying ammunition and firearms, which we have a constitutional right to do.

Giffords tweeted:

The shooters in at least 5 mass shootings have stockpiled guns & ammo using credit cards and killed 145 people. @Visa, @Mastercard, @americanexpress have the power to flag suspicious purchases and save lives. Call on them to act.

They then point to propaganda from guns down America that states:

"[They] have urged the financial industry to prevent bad actors from abusing the banking system to obtain large quantities of firearms and ammunition and using the firepower they purchase on bank credit to take innocent lives. These killers often follow known patterns of suspicious behavior:

Wait till you hear what they consider so-called patterns of suspicious behavior are.

"In 2012, the shooter who killed 12 people in Aurora, CO charged $9,000 on credit cards to purchase guns, ammunition, and body armor in just 2 months."

Now they want to penalize you and consider you suspicious just because you buy what they believe to be a large amount of ammunition.

I can easily go to a range session and go through a thousand rounds without blinking, but to them, anything more than five rounds is too much ammunition.

Guns are expensive! They aren't cheap.

I can easily go to a store right now and drop four grand on a firearm, then put an optic on that gun; that gun will quickly skyrocket to 10 grand.

If I buy a rifle with an optic on it in one purchase and then buy a few hundred rounds of ammo, and now all of a sudden I'm put into a special category by my financial institute that does what exactly?

Stops me from making the purchase?

They're trying to prevent people from buying guns and ammunition because they consider the mere fact of doing it suspicious.

What is the standard for how much am I allowed to spend on a firearm and ammunition?

$500?
