http://www.shtfplan.com/headline-ne...re-from-processing-transactions_09272013
The assault on the U.S. Constitution and the Second Amendment continues.

This time big business is getting into the mix and they�re aiming for gun stores right at the source of their revenues � their transaction processing facilities.

According to Larry Hyatt, owner of the largest gun brokerage firm in the United States, Authorize.net, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Visa USA and one of the world�s largest credit card processing gateways, has terminated their relationship with the firm.

After four years in business with the Visa owned Authorize.net, Larry Hyatt, owner of Hyatt Gun Shop, received an email indicating that the company would no longer provide its services due to �the sale of firearms or any similar product.�

The email reads:

Dear Hyatt Gun Shop Inc,

Authorize.Net LLC (�Authorize.Net�) has determined that the nature of your business constitutes a violation of Section 2.xiv of the Authorize.Net Acceptable Use Guidelines and Sections 3.3 and 11.3 of the Authorize.Net Service Agreement (the �Agreement�).

These sections include, but are not limited to, the sale of firearms or any similar product.

Accordingly, pursuant to Section 4 of the Acceptable Use Guidelines, your ability to access and use the Authorize.Net Services will be terminated on September 30, 2013.

Hyatt�s massive online store will be unable to process credit card transactions, giving the store only a few days to find a new processing company before Authorize.net terminates their business relationship.

�We�ve never seen anything like this,� Hyatt Marketing Director Justin Anderson told the Washington Examiner.

All of a sudden, after four years of doing business together, Authorize.net declares that Hyatt Gun Shop is in violation of their terms of agreement.

An odd coincidence to be sure, but not if you consider that�many top executives at Visa�have donated�to President Obama�s election campaigns. With President Obama renewing his push for gun control in the wake of the Navy Yard shooting last week, and Americans ardently opposing any legislative action that would further restrict the ownership of firearms, it looks as if anti-gun politicians are now calling in favors with their connections in big business.

If you can�t outlaw the guns, then strike directly at the companies who manufacture them and sell them by cutting off their cash flow.

This is exactly what Authorize.net, which processes credit card transactions for millions of merchants around the world, has done to Hyatt.

Earlier this year, after a similar anti-gun push following the Sandy Hook elementary school tragedy, Bank of America took it upon themselves to forcibly seize funds from�licensed firearms dealer and manufacturer American Spirit Arms.

The incidents with Hyatt Gun Shop and American Spirit Arms are certainly not isolated and will likely continue as government and business merge their agendas, especially as it pertains to our government sponsored banking system, which has a stranglehold over American businesses.

The Constitution remains a prominent roadblock for the anti-gun establishment, and despite efforts to ban semi-automatic rifles, tax ammunition, and restrict importation of magazines and gun parts, they are being countered at every turn by the tens of millions of Americans who believe in their personal right to bear arms.

Thus, government is now relying on their incestuous relationships with the many bailed out banks and businesses who are essentially under their control.

If you think this was an accident, you�re kidding yourself.

A coordinated effort is underway to make it difficult, if not impossible, to acquire self defense armaments that include guns, ammo, and accessories.

Get �em while you can. We saw what happened with the ammunition. Now it seems they are trying to lock-down our ability to do business with legitimate gun dealers.

It's time to play by the libertards rules. Have gun owners declared a protected class and enact anti-discrimination legislation.

People don't seem to realize that EVERY electronic transaction is tracked and data mined - and not to YOUR advantage. How long do you think it will take before, for example, your health insurance will data mine your purchases for alcohol and tobacco transactions?

The simple solution is to just pay cash, especially for those things that might be used negatively: not just guns, ammo, gold, but alcohol, tobacco, sports equipment, Vegas trips, etc.

This is on Hyatt Gun Shops's webapage:

"Statement about Authorize.net

As reported by Grass Roots North Carolina, credit card gateway Authorize.net has indeed refused to continuing doing business with us simply because we sell guns. We urge all of you who shop online to boycott any web site displaying the Authorize.net or Cybersource logo. We have since switched to a gun-friendly provider that offers all of the same security features you'd expect. You can read the full text of the GRNC alert below by clicking this link."

I wished I owned a credit card company I would cancel all buisness with queers. I bet that would make the news.

The only Visa I have is my Cabelas card.

You would think Cabelas would want to go with a different card company if Visa is now anti-gun.

From what is posted, it looks like Visa owns Authorize.net, not the other way around.
Apparently, there are other processors of Visa cards that will still handle firearm-related business; (Hyatt is now using another processor).
I wonder who processes Visa transactions for the NRA and Cabelas?
