> We've seen the crackdown on gun shops

The issue with firearms sales seems to be at the payment processor level, not the credit card issuers. The big names (e.g., Authorize.net) categorize firearms sales as "highly regulated industries" - even though they really aren't.

There are payment processors out there that specifically work with FFLs (Federal Firearms Licensees, a/k/a gun stores), but they charge a couple of percent higher transaction fees, and they just seem a little skeezy. A lot of them also service the adult industry.

The DoJ was going after gun shop merchant accounts also. Gun shops or Fetish sites should be just as protected as any other legal business.
