Transcript
- 0:15Well, welcome to the live sheet podcast.
- 0:16My name is Jeff do, and I've been a licensed firearm dealer for the last 15 years.
- 0:20And this podcast, we're talking about all things related to the second amendment, as well as not throwing a sports story or something going on in everyday news.
- 0:26Well, welcome.
- 0:27Welcome.
- 0:27Welcome.
- 0:28Today is Friday, September 16th.
- 0:30Hopefully I'll get this edited and out, but it'll probably go out tomorrow on sun Saturday.
- 0:34But thank you for listening and welcome.
- 0:36Welcome.
- 0:37Welcome.
- 0:37Been a great week for me.
- 0:39Nice weather been fairly relaxing, but so what are we talking about today?
- 0:43Credit cards?
- 0:44So it's in the news.
- 0:46I'm sure everybody has seen it, that the international organization of standardization ISO and you know, they set up standards for all sorts of different things.
- 0:54And the fact that they are the international organization that should raise some concern whenever they're dictating now to add a.
- 1:02Code a new merchant categorization code MCC for credit cards to identify gun store.
- 1:10Gun store purchases.
- 1:11And now, while this is seems to be somewhat innocuous aren't they always just a little Inno Inno innocuous.
- 1:19What it's going to show is that it's, it's things that were purchased from gun stores and you can't tell whether that's fishing gear, maybe waiters, you know, ammunition, a.
- 1:31Dreaded AR 15, what have you, but it is a step.
- 1:36And so, you know, whenever you see people from like Bloomberg's, every town for gun safety is Haring.
- 1:44And they're saying that this would prevent an extremist from building an arsenal.
- 1:49It could also prevent law abiding owners from putting purchasing handgun to birth themselves.
- 1:53But you know, this is the, the next step that they're trying to take.
- 1:57The government can't form a gun registry.
- 2:00Right now legally.
- 2:02So they've been going out to other sources and trying to piece this information together, and this is gonna be another one.
- 2:08So, you know, one of it is, is you know, how do they actually wanna work it?
- 2:12So the The plan would be not only would they require the credit card companies use the code, they, they want to require sporting good stores, like academy to ring up gun sales separately.
- 2:24And you can see that, you know, once they start identifying that they're going to start to track us.
- 2:30And so what's the solution.
- 2:32Here's the problem we've known.
- 2:34There's a problem.
- 2:35Big brothers always watching us.
- 2:37They're they're watching your internet searches.
- 2:39They're watching your, your credit card purchases.
- 2:42They're listening to our cell phone calls.
- 2:45They say they're not, but they are.
- 2:46I'm sure of it.
- 2:47And.
- 2:48Now they're putting codes in.
- 2:50So I saw an article where some, some gun stores are putting ATM machines in their stores.
- 2:56So when you go in there, you can just withdraw some cash and make that cash purchase.
- 3:03That's a solution.
- 3:05You know, we are, as we look at this digitized world we're getting into, do you wanna protect your privacy?
- 3:10You need to protect your privacy.
- 3:12And that part of that is, is getting off the grid and, and, you know, staying as, as private as you can, you know, I have talked on this podcast, a few episodes about Bitcoin and where I see the future with Bitcoin and it being a pristine asset and that, you know, People need to look to be holding Bitcoin people.
- 3:32And I have started to accept Bitcoin for my transfers.
- 3:34Haven't done one yet, but I'm accepting it.
- 3:37And it's not that difficult.
- 3:39It's a, it is probably a big leap for gun stores to start accepting some Bitcoin as payment for their guns.
- 3:45One just the volatility of it.
- 3:47Will Bitcoin ever be a source of currency exchange?
- 3:52I think so, but you know, I don't know.
- 3:55I, I will accept it now.
- 3:57There's risk, you know, prices go up, prices, go down for Bitcoin.
- 4:00So what you sold a box of ammo for yesterday, and then you got the pay Bitcoin that may translate into fewer dollars.
- 4:09The idea is to get off the dollar standard.
- 4:12Get on a Bitcoin standard and just price one Bitcoin equals one Bitcoin and, and start moving there.
- 4:19That is solution.
- 4:20Now Bitcoin is not private.
- 4:22It's it's synonymous.
- 4:23You don't necessarily know who it is, but it is.
- 4:26It's not anonymous and you can't go expect if you're using Bitcoin that nobody knows what's happening, the government will be able to track gun store purchase.
- 4:37Using Bitcoin when they start wanting to this is just a step, it is another way to protect your privacy.
- 4:43I think we all have to continue to look at that.
- 4:45When you're making your online purchases use a VPN, do those types of things use an FFL.
- 4:51That's gonna protect your privacy as much as you possibly can.
- 4:54Do those things, encrypt your emails, use a emails server like proton and get off of Google.
- 4:59These are all sorts of things because they're listening to us and they're following us credit.
- 5:04Adding a credit card code is just a very simple thing for them to do, and it's gonna get much more sophisticated and much more out there.
- 5:12So we know they're coming after us.
- 5:14They want to come after our guns and we have to stop them.
- 5:18We have to fight and I encourage you to always fight.
- 5:21And so look at.
- 5:23News about the new credit card code for gun stores as just another sign of red flag to start getting things in order.
- 5:30I'm not telling you not to go out and buy guns using credit cards.
- 5:34You know, we're all law buying citizens.
- 5:36We ought to be able to do that, but just prepare for what that might mean and that people might be knowing what's going on and they may come knocking on your door.
- 5:46There's a whole other set of steps to do that, but right now we have a.
- 5:50Constitutional right to purchase and own firearms.
- 5:53And we need to abide by that.
- 5:55And in order to do that, you may want to keep some of your privacy intact and don't share what all you've got.
- 6:02I encourage that for everything.
- 6:04So.
- 6:06Do that keep this as a, as another sign of, of where this country is going and what they want from us.
- 6:12They want us to be all subjects.
- 6:14And I don't think we're gonna let that happen.
- 6:17This is the, the great United States of America.
- 6:19Tomorrow's constitution day.
- 6:21We're celebrating constitution and did a quick little podcast on it as well.
- 6:24That second amendment of the constitution is vital and there's a reason why it's there and we have to protect it and fight for it.
- 6:30So.
- 6:31Keep that up.
- 6:32Keep your hands up, keep on fighting and have a great weekend.
