Florida will ban CC cards from operating if they track firearm purchases.

Good stumping, sort of like saying he is against it, but pretty much just a fantasy as described. I would not count on this campaign promise of being the ban that he describes. However, imagine if they did do it and all of a sudden MILLIONS of Floridians no longer had access to their credit cards because the companies were banned, millions of Floridians that rely on credit cards for day to day transactions, recurring bill payments, emergencies, etc. Imagine the BILLIONS of tourist dollars lost each week if all of a sudden credit cards were banned in Florida. Tourism would collapse. Here is a neat example. Imagine the hundreds of thousands of people of the tourist industry all of a sudden out of jobs after thousands of business failures because Florida would not allow credit cards? Between crippling his own people and crippling a primary source of income for Florida (tourism), such a move would cripple the Florida economy worse than IAN or anything else they have seen previously.

If he was to accomplish this, the credit card companies would lose some money, no doubt, but Florida would be a disaster area. Imagine the riots. Imagine the exodus of residents to credit card friendly states that have jobs. House values would decline sharply. People would be so far upside down on the mortages without jobs and without being able to sell their homes at anything but change on the dollar. People won't be able to pay their property taxes without jobs. Government services would falter.

Of course, they won't ban credit card companies that do this and he knows that, so then he waffles...

I’ll work with the Legislature to pass a law penalizing businesses who are targeting the right to bear arms,” Patronis said.

He might be able to work with the legislature to try to penalize companies, but that doesn't mean it will happen and even if they penalize the companies, they won't ban them from operating in Florida. At best, they will make such tagging of transactions illegal, but the credit card companies will remain and will being doing business in the state.

He has the right attitude, but he is stating/promising what he can't deliver (banning) and may have trouble delivering (penalizing).
