I've seen this happen to a lot of businesses around all kinds of arms, even if not directly selling weapons, but doing training, etc. I've also seen social media figures who are prominently politically oriented face similar issues with donation platforms due to pressure from payment processors/cc companies.
It's really icky to say the least. There's plenty of groups I'd love to see debanked on a personal level... that said, I think it's entirely wrong for anyone not breaking domestic laws where they are.

- axus 1y agoCan you buy a gun with a credit card in the US? I presume yes. Why would other weapons be different?
- monocasa 1y agoYes, you can.
- Ferret7446 1y agoBecause Visa said so presumably, which is the issue at hand.
- giantg2 1y agoBecuase guns have higher protections, more stringent seller regulations, and advocacy groups. In some localities, things like swords can be illegal to own. The dealers generally don't need a special license. With guns, you have an FFL which is heavily regulated. So as a payment processor, there's a greater chance that a merchant selling a sword might be violating the law than an FFL selling a gun. Then the advocacy groups for guns are much more active than the ones for knives and swords.
- johnnyanmac 1y agoyou could have just said advocacy groups and be done with it. That's all that matters, someone who can yell loudly when they try to ban something. There's regulations and protections around an 18+ anything as well.
