Visa Goes Anti-Gun: Restricts America’s Largest Gun Store From Processing Transactions
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.

Screw Visa and Authorize.net. I am sick of political correctness and politics dictating LEGAL business through cronyism and back room deals. If anybody thinks that waiting until the mid-term elections or 2016 is the way to save the country you are 20 years too late. The impending economic collapse of the dollar will usher in a new civil war. At that point you are either with the constitution or against it, and if you are against- may God help you.
You have been warned!
Dont let this get under your skin free thinkers and people who understand the meaning of FREEDOM! This should just show you how DESPERATE they are to get control of our last defense. What is really keeping the criminals from showing their true faces!? Its you and me and everyone else who believes in freedom that keeps these people from taking control through force. Do you think it wouldn’t of happened already if the people weren’t armed like they are? It has kept China, Japan and who knows how many from invading the last century. If we allow these people to take your last personal defense from an enemy that is DOMESTIC, you will be giving up your last hope. Its a war we are fighting people. If you don’t wake up… we will be taken over and you wont have anyone to blame but yourself. Speak out
You have got to understand that these people are desperate to disarm us. They will us anything to sway the minds to get rid of your arms. All the gun shooting massacres? Obama has had over 16 while in office. Im sorry but that’s not some coincidence. If you check out the shootings … there are enough holes in the stories its no better than 9/11. Its a set up and these criminals will use anything and i mean anything to get what they want.
No tyrannical Communist-Stalin-Mao style regulations and policies are going to stop us from removing from power the corrupted GUILTY AS CHARGED for treason.
SONS OF LIBERTY
Dont let it get too you get a thank you card have a friend take a picture of you taking money out of the bank with your card make sure to show the visa and purchase away
Next it will be that blacks do not have to serve whites in restaurants.
Just pay the damned thing off, cut it the hell up, and throw it in the garbage.
Remember, our parents and grandparents saved up and bought things when they could afford it. Or you had local store owners carry in-store credit.
Just like the old days, you went without until you could afford buying it outright. And only use credit cards that are issued by like-minded company’s aligned with your political views, do your research before using their services.
Goodbye Visa Card. You will have to counterfeit money off of someone else.
I’m going back to cash, checks or preferably bartering. It won’t do anything other than to reacquaint myself with how we all used to purchase things. For those that aren’t familiar with the ancient method of conducting business it would be a real good idea to start learning now. It really is quite simple. You provide a desired service or product to an individual or group of individuals and in return the individual or group compensates you with either a product or service that you desire. In more advanced systems you may be compensated or make payment for goods or services with something called currency. One form of currency is a series of coins made of rare metals and are received or payed out in amounts comparable to the value of the goods or services. Another form of currency is a note. The note is is just a place holder. It represents a certain amount of rare metal (usually gold or silver) that is kept in a secure location. At that location the rare metal is kept, holders of the notes can redeem them for the actual metal they represent. There are also things called checks. These are individual promissory notes. It simply is an IOU. It too can be redeemed for currency or its written value in rare metal. The check is also a contract that states that upon its redemption there will be sufficient funds in the individuals account to make the IOU good. If it is not, the writer of the IOU may face criminal charges and be forced to not only pay the amount of the IOU but also punitive damages. Much of these transactions occur within an establishment called a bank. What you never ever want to allow are transactions with a currency that is not redeemable for a rare metal or anything else of equal value. All these are is promissory aka checks with one major difference. They have no real value other than what they are perceived to have. If for some reason the perception of value is lost then the “money, currency” has no value. Anyone holding these notes in the event the illusion is broken will be essentially victims of theft as there is no individual or group held accountable. Unfortunately this is the system most used around the world today. So learning how to trade for required and or wanted goods and services using other methods is very highly encouraged as there are very strong signs that the perception of our current currencies is quickly evaporating. The extreme decrease in the buying power of currency notes being the biggest warning sign.
