CREDIT CARD PROCESSING COMPANY REJECTS FIREARMS INDUSTRY

REFUSES TO PROCESS TRANSACTIONS . . . Citi Merchant Services and First Data Corp. are refusing to process any credit card transactions between federally licensed firearms retailers, distributors and manufacturers -- a move which will severely limit available inventory of firearms and ammunition to military, law enforcement and law-abiding Americans.

The first company to be affected by this decision appears to be firearms distributor CDNN Sports Inc.

"We were contacted recently by First Data/Citi Merchant Services by a June Rivera-Mantilla stating that we were terminated and funds were being seized for selling firearms in a non-face-to-face transaction," said Charlie Crawford, president of CDNN Sports Inc. "Although perfectly legal, we were also informed that no transactions would be processed in the future, even for non-firearms. I find this very frightening."

To voice your concern to Citi Merchant Services and First Data Corp., please contact June Rivera-Mantilla at 631-683-7734 or her supervisor Robert Tenenbaum at 631-683-6570.

To change to an NSSF-affiliated credit card processing program, contact Payment Alliance International at 1-866-371-2273 (ext. 1131).

let'em stop. In turn, everybody close thier accounts with them and take business elsewhere. Pretty soon they'll be out of business.

It's called corporate commi America. The same creeps who brought us gun control in the first place and have been stealing your birth rights all along. They should all be lined up and shot for treason, as they are less than scum! There the ones that give scum a bad name! ......................Gene...........................

Its the credit card company not the stores that are causing this problem, however myself I think its a good thing, means less interest going to Citi.

Welcome to HuntingNut! Pull up a stump and grab a beer out of the cooler. Tell some stories. Show some pics. Ask some questions.

Check the name Robert Rubin in Wikipedia to see where this policy most likely comes from.
