And your credit/debit card isn't (indirectly) controlled by the state? I don't see how this would be different from the current status quo, so many places are card only that the state could already control all of this.

And your credit/debit card isn't (indirectly) controlled by the state? Not speaking for the person you asked. My cards are not directly controlled by the state however Visa and Mastercard share all the sales with my government that wants to know how many firearms people buy, how much ammunition and how often it is purchased. [1] I honestly do not know what they do with the data as they haven't intervened in any of the tragic events of late. Anyway that is why I stick with cash and avoid buying things online when I can get them locally. No need for Uncle Sam to keep track of my purchases of inflatable sheep and Velcro mittens which I have no doubt have a special category.
