with the credit card companies red flagging all guns and ammo purchases with credit cards are we going to see alternate methods of payments materialize??

Using the MCC codes on purchases of guns/ammo is likely just the opening shot. Visualize the CC companies not approving the use of their CC for gun/ammo purchases.

I know this sounds crazy, but I can envision carrying the MCC codes to other extremes. Take your gas powered F150 in for repair and the CC payment is denied; the CC company has coded as good only for service on electrical vehicles.

We now live in a world where the mental patients are calling the shots.

From National Shooting Sports Foundation:

"GUN CONTROL REVEALS MERCHANT CODE IS STEPPING STONE TO WATCHLISTS AND BANS"
By Larry Keane

"Gun control groups are pulling back the curtain to reveal that their plan to add a firearm and ammunition-specific Merchant Category Code (MCC) for gun retailers isn’t about tracking guns. It’s about tracking you.

"Andrew Ross Sorkin, a New York Times columnist who proposed this idea years ago, penned a column outlining the 'next steps.' That revealed that the pressure campaign by federal lawmakers, state attorneys general, state lawmakers and activist banks on the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) to create a unique MCC for gun retailers was just the beginning. It was never about gathering data to aide law enforcement. It is, and always has been, a concerted effort to pressure credit card companies to deny lawful purchases of firearms and put every single gun purchaser on a watchlist.
***
"Sorkin proposed the idea of cutting off gun purchases by throttling the use of credit cards in 2018, when he published a column titled, 'How Banks Could Control Gun Sales If Washington Won’t.' NSSF warned then of the dangerousness of this proposal. Sorkin’s idea is that enough financial pressure could be applied to credit card giants to deny lawful gun sales. Swipe, insert chip or tap just simply wouldn’t work for those attempting to legally purchase a firearm or ammunition.

"This idea was backed by gun control front-woman Shannon Watts. Antigun politicians like U.S. Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) and U.S. Rep. Jennifer Wexton (D-Va.) who introduced legislation that would require the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCen) to give guidance to banks so they can report “suspicious financial activity.” The bill is fraught with civil liberty violations and not just those freedoms protected by the Second Amendment. Privacy rights – specifically those related to finances – would go by the wayside

"Amalgamated Bank, a 'socially-responsible' bank, pressured the ISO for the specific MCC to categorize firearm retailers. That’s the same bank that refuses to do business to anyone in the gun industry but bankrolls the Democratic National Committee and Political Action Committees including Biden-Harris Democrats, Ready for Hillary (which is Hillary Clinton’s Super PAC), Sen Elizabeth Warren’s (D-Mass.) Warren Democrats and U.S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) PAC, among others."
