Why Firearms Businesses Are Done Being Held Hostage by Fear-Based Selling
For decades, the firearms community has been held hostage by financial institutions and payment processors using fear-based tactics to target gun-related businesses. The phrases “high-risk business,”“reputational risk,” and the overused “2A-friendly processor” have become all too familiar in the world of firearms payments. But at Bulletproof Payments, we’re changing the narrative.
The Problem: Fear-Based Selling and Overpriced Solutions
For far too long, firearms businesses, including gun stores, pawn shops, firearm influencers, and accessory merchants, have been subject to high fees, complex contracts, and confusing terms—often sold under the guise of “protecting” their business from being labeled as “high risk.” Financial institutions and payment processors preyed on the uncertainty in the market, offering services that were often overpriced and overcomplicated.
This fear-based selling tactic focused on “reputational risk,” convincing businesses that if they didn’t comply with these expensive, convoluted services, they might face trouble with their payment processing, putting their entire operations at risk. But the reality? These services were rarely necessary, and merchants ended up paying for things they didn’t need—just to line the pockets of salespeople who had never even owned a firearm or understood the true value of the 2A community.
