Columbus, OH –-(Ammoland.com)- 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. 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 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.
About:The U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance is a national association of sportsmen and sportsmen’s organizations that protects the rights of hunters, anglers and trappers in the courts, legislatures, at the ballot, in Congress and through public education programs. Visit www.ussportsmen.org.
well it’s their choice,
BUT, in the same breath firearms owners can freely spend their $ elsewhere
from what i understand cabala’s has their own bank in nebraska the will freely do business with firearms owners
Yep. I sell HC3R hi-cap 10/22 magazines, and they canceled my account that was in good standing. Forced me to find another, cheaper, gun friendly company. I guess they showed me, eh?
Stop using them and don’t let them know why,…they’ll know why ?
When purchasing anything to do with firearms, I go cash only. One less piece of paper for the Feds to track, and it doesn’t contribute to the profit of some of these companies that discriminate against gun owners. So in this case, I get the last laugh. Hahaha.
Would they deny the payment to pay for a homosexual marriage? I think not. This is pure agenda based on their supposed “morals” of gun violence? Same goes for PayPal, they too will not process sales for guns, ammo etc. It is not right, and in fact I consider it a violation of my constitutional rights. They should be sued.
Had to use SQUARE only once at a gun show for the CCW class. pompous arsses comes to mind. If SQUARE wants to be ultra righteous they should consider requiring a lie detector for every transaction asking the customer if they have ever did something bad. Hey, ya never know…the person buying that chainsaw might be planing to dismember people.
