New Gun Control Bill Encourages Financial Institutions to Report 'Suspicious' Firearm Transactions

The bill's aim is to identify a consistent purchasing pattern among people who buy firearms and firearm accessories in order to conduct "lone wolf acts of terror" and expose how the firearms market in the United States is exploited by would-be mass shooters.

I wonder what a "consistent purchasing pattern" is? Buying bulk packs of ammo for the range will now likely result in a no-knock raid at 4:00am.

True will the purchasing of say a couple boxes of ammo a month for trips to range equal a "consistance buying patterns" to warrant a CHECK UP....

Privacy is dead.

 

[Blimey]

Anything more than a box every two Octobers means you're not a fudd hunter, so odds are around 80% you're planning on committing a crime.

And they are going to get this info how? If someone buys $2500 worth of stuff at Dick's, is it a rifle and cases of ammo or a kayak? So, they want flagged businesses? Business A-good, Business B-bad because they only sell "bad" things.

 

[Carlos Hathcock]

This is a useless concept. Oh yeah, fuck off.

 

[Bananabandit]

Remember when criminals used debit/credit cards to buy illegal guns?

Oh, that won't be abused. How bout Red Flag stupid!

Financial institutions will face huge liabilities by disclosing legal activity w/o a warrant.

 

[Criticalt]

Easily overcome.......

 

[Deplorable Me]

Define suspicious? Is that when the IRS, Dept of Education, US Postal Service buy 10 brazillion rounds of ammo? The UPS guy drops off my ammo and is unarmed, he's got no problems.

I buy a thousand rounds or more in a monthly basis.
Don't even keep a fraction of it, most of it just ends up in a berm. I often wonder if it would save time if I just buried cash in the ground.

At the height of my shooting my father used to chastise me for spending so much on ammo. Forgot exactly what he said but something along the lines of "How does it feel to see dollar bills coming out of the barrel of that pistol of yours?" Same idea as burying cash I suppose.

For the record, he was/is not antigun. Just anti-spending money.

This should also include shoe purchases as it would of Caught Marcos well in advance while his old lady, Ameldo, was buying all those shoes (Phillipines)

I hope this passes.

your local FFL gun store

Follows the same fallacy that lots of purchases or large purchases = a criminal.

Even a *mass* shooter only needs a couple hundred rounds and one rifle, basically the same thing *every* first time gun owner gets.

The guy buying 1000 rounds and a new gun every month is a competitor or collector, not a criminal.

Criminals need far fewer guns or ammunition than sportsmen.

 

[Sneezy]

It's more "spicious" if I don't order 1K or more of ammo per month.

 

[jimc]

I'm pretty sure 1 gun and a box of ammo is all you need for a mass shooting. I could be wrong since I don't shoot people.

On the brighter side, everyone on this forum will finally meet each other in prison soon. When we each get arrested in that no knock raid, just slap on a name tag with your NYGF user name so I know who you are.

Next Bill will be to report ANY firearm or accessory purchase

 

[Jsmegs77]

Cash is king. I can't think of the last firearm related thing I used a trackable payment method for. If my card history gets examined, someone could observe I have an obsession with two way radio gear and random car parts.

Can only be effective is buying on credit. Cash will not allow a trail. Seems to me they forgot something?

The gubment wants to eliminate cash, just too hard of a sell right now. Eliminate cash then every transaction can be tracked and “money” and access to it can be turned on or off as those in power see fit.

HR 5132 is never going to make it through the Financial Services committee let alone get to the House floor, since it has nothing to do with impeaching President Donald Trump.

Ive been at my LGS buying 2000-3000 rounds and they say, "hey, dont you have (insert caliber)?....we have those in cases too, you want a couple."
They would be the LAST ones to "turn you in" for buying large quantities.
Last year my GF and I bought 4 guns at once and 1200 rounds.
The LGS guy almost cried he was so happy.
