How Intuit Lied to Mess With Your Civil Rights

The other day I explained why tech gangsters were morally wrong to attack gun buyers, sellers, and manufacturers, after using us to make them rich. Now I will explain why Intuit’s new policy of rejecting certain firearms transactions is completely dishonest.

Intuit does credit card processing. Credit card commerce is convenient, and convenient is what our leftist masters want gun sales to not be. Inconvenience will discourage many sales, they hope.

News stories don’t give many details, so one has to guess what Intuit actually did. We know they reversed many gun-related transactions and left buyers and sellers in very awkward positions.

Intuit claims it is yielding to pressure from its “banking partner,” whoever that is. It says the partner does not want to take part in certain types of transactions unless the related credit card transactions take place face-to-face. In other words, ALL online firearms transactions are banned.

Intuit is trying to make us think it’s afraid online transactions will cause guns to go to people who haven’t been checked out. They’re lying.

Intuit attempts to bury firearms transactions in a sea of other sales it won’t allow. Intuit’s propaganda statement mentions things like alcohol, tobacco, and pharmaceuticals.

Here’s why that is dishonest: every gun sale, apart from certain curio and relic sales (generally old creaky weapons sought by collectors) involves a FACE-TO-FACE background check. If you buy a gun online from Cabela’s or a Gunbroker vendor, he can’t just pop it in a box and mail it to your house. He can’t even mail a C&R gun unless you have a federal C&R license. Any gun a you buy, as a non-licensed individual, has to go to a federal firearms licensee. If it’s a non-C&R gun, that licensee can’t be you, and he will be required to do a background check, in your presence, with identification, before he can release the gun to you.

If you’re a C&R licensee, you’ve already passed a background check. The BATF checks C&R licensees out.

Is there a background check for tobacco products? No. Is there a background check for pharmaceuticals? No. Is there a background check for alcohol? No.

My dad gets a ton of pills every year from an online supplier. They dump the bottles in flimsy bags and mail them to his house. We pay his copayments with credit cards. I pretend to be him, and I place the orders. Is that a felony? I don’t know. I confess. No one cares.

Would you like some free gout pills? Hide outside my house and wait. Eventually they will appear in my unlocked mailbox. If you want them bad enough, I can’t keep you from getting them. You won’t be able to get the guns I buy online, though, because I have to go pick them up and pass background checks.

My dad is demented. He can’t order his own pills. There is no way in hell I’m going to put him in the car and force him to swipe a card several times a month, and I don’t even tell him to come sit with me when I order pills online. I don’t tell him I’m doing it. His pills arrive, and he has no idea how it happens. Lock me up.

Is there a gout pill online loophole? Yes. Does Intuit know about it? Yes, and I guarantee you, they’re not doing anything about it.

Old people across America buy huge amounts of prescription drugs online, every day. I promise you, Intuit isn’t going after them. We would have heard about it. Intuit doesn’t really care about prescriptions. Every day, elderly spouses place prescription orders for their husbands and wives, logging on with their credentials. Intuit will never stop them.

It’s dishonest to compare laxatives and whiskey to guns.

Intuit is lying.

Intuit can’t even blame lawyers. There is no threat of litigation. No lawyer is going to waste his time suing Intuit or related companies because a nut passed a face-to-face background check and then killed someone with a gun Intuit helped him buy. Even tort lawyers, scum-sucking, malignant, prosperity-destroying tapeworms though they be, have their limits.

How many sensational murders have we seen? How many of the guns that were used were bought with credit cards? How many times have American Express or the other card companies been sued? Leftist nuts don’t even bother suing them. It’s a waste of time. It would be like suing the mint for printing the dollars used in a cash transaction.

Intuit knows it’s going after responsible sellers who obey the law. They went after Gunsite. This is a respected firearms training organization that also sells pistols. The Gunsite people made Intuit’s people understand that Gunsite only sends guns to licensees who are then required to do background checks. Intuit didn’t care.

I rest my case.

Are you a felon? Want to buy a gun without a background check? Here’s what you do. Go to your criminal buddies and tell them you want a gun. Someone will eventually offer you a stolen gun for less than a store would charge, there will be no background check, and there will be no waiting period. If you think you can buy a gun from an online retailer without a background check, you’re in for a big disappointment. Even if Intuit does everything it can to help you buy a gun, you’re SOL.

There is no “online loophole.” You can buy guns ILLEGALLY over the web, by avoiding legitimate retailers who process credit cards. You can hook up with random dirtbags on the dark web, meet them in parking lots, and give them cash. But you can’t go to a website belonging to Bass Pro, Bud’s Gun Shop, or even Gunbroker and use a credit card to have a firearm shipped to your house illegally. Not possible.

In reality, if Intuit wanted gun transactions to be safer, they would encourage the use of credit cards, because credit card transactions leave trails and drive people on both ends to do things by the book. No criminal wants a credit card record to tie him to a firearm. Intuit isn’t trying to make gun sales safer. It’s trying to prevent them from happening.

Intelligent people have been predicting this kind of thing for years. Conservatives and Christians are being pushed out of the marketplace. Here’s my new prediction: when the Mark of the Beast (our future means of participating in a cashless economy) arrives, you will have to get rid of your guns in order to get it.

Intuit is disgusting. I seriously hope they lose business over this attack on our civil rights.
