Here is another example of how the anti-gun agenda is being implemented behind the scenes.

Please TAKE ACTION as requested in the USSA article and pass this on to others.

"Mobile Payment Company Says No to Guns

Posted on August 1, 2013

The popular mobile payment company, Square, Inc., has recently changed their terms of use and will no longer allow the use of their product for firearm sales, ammunition, firearm parts, and any other associated materials which they say are “designed to cause physical injury”.

Sportsmen and other gun owners are being urged to contact Square to voice their disapproval and to urge them to change their anti-gun policy.

Square, a small credit card swiping device that plugs into IPhones, Android and IPad’s for easy credit or debit card transactions, changed their terms of use in late spring, adding the amendment as #23 to their Prohibited Goods and Service list (https://squareup.com/help/en-us/article/5089-prohibited-goods-and-services). A Square spokesman denied the accusation that the change was related to the gun debate sparked by the Sandy Hook shooting.

As a non-profit organization that fights for the rights of hunting, fishing and trapping across the U.S., the USSA fully supports the use and sales of firearms.  USSA has in the past used the Square device for company events but has since halted its use in the wake of the change to their “Prohibited Goods and Service list”.

Take Action!  All sportsmen and other gun owners are urged to contact (https://squareup.com/help/en-us/contact#continue) Square CEO Jack Dorsey and explain how his company’s anti-gun stance is misguided.  Tell him that over 90 million gun owners – many of which are either his customers or potential customers – support the right to keep and bear arms."

Well then  That must include : alcohol, cars, doctors, dentists, batteries, grocery stores ( they sell alcohol ), cigars, cigarettes, energy drinks. Get my drift. Boycott any store that uses the Square, I will.
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............

He can put a limit on what purchases that run thru his company all he wants. It's his company. We can choose not to have anything to do with his company and he will pay much more in the long run. This is the reason I only deal in cash.  :bash:
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is who you actually are while your reputation is merely who others think you are.

Write the company, it only takes a couple of minutes. 

Mention that they alienated 90 million gun owners and possibly 33+ million fishermen (they use fish hooks) that cause physical injury when used for their intended purpose.  Adding "Sales of (i) firearms, firearm parts or hardware, and ammunition; or (ii) weapons and other devices designed to cause physical injury" to their Prohibited Goods and Services list is obviously anti-gun and appears to be extremely discriminatory against the Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights (The Right to Keep and Bear Arms).  Ask them to rethink their anti-gun posturing and recognize that guns and ammunition are tools that are used for military operations, law enforcement, target practice, self-defense, hunting, and collector items.  There will always be malevolent criminals that will use these and other tools to commit their evil acts of violence.  They shouldn't take part in demonizing guns any more than demonizing kitchen knives, baseball bats, or hammers.

As companies like this take these subliminal actions against guns and gun owners, they need to hear our voices loud and clear.

Please take action and pass this on.
