Maybe a dumb question, but not being American, I have no idea:
Are your guys' financial information / banking stuff off limits by the government without a warrant or something ( tax stuff not included )?
Here in Canada, our financial information isn't private protected under our Charter - the government can look at your bank account whenever they want. That's why they were able to do what they did with the Truckers Convoy people.
Normally a warrant is required to access banking details. There are other things the government can lean on as well to access bank accounts on a whim. One of them is notably due to the Patriot Act.
However these days government doesn't really need to directly access bank accounts anymore. There are many other metrics that can be utilized to discern what a person has, where it came from, and where its going money wise. Just a small but extremely common example flaunted wealth on social media, and obtaining retail information wholesale.
Buy a car with cash or bitcoin? It still has to be registered to drive on the road and title transfered. Then now they can monitor the person who sold it for wealth increase. Silly stuff like that easily tracked.
I'm curious how they propose to prevent that as a credit card company needs to know which card was used for a purchase as they have to bill the owner and also the merchant that they have to pay. Couple that with the fact nearly every place I've purchased firearms from have pretty obvious names like "Buds Guns" or "Palmetto State Armory" and you they'll have a pretty decent idea of who has probably been buying guns or at least probably owns them based on that.
And thanks to the ATF mandatory paperwork if the Government wants to know if my $649 purchase from Buds Guns was a gun send the ATF to inspect the records (and yeah, I know that Buds transfer record would be to another FFL generally and not me specifically, but all the paperwork forms a trail that is easy to follow back to the FFL I would have picked up from).
Great news. Now make it illegal for federal police to even be in your state.
No one needs fag bois around anyhow.

Thank you very much for the information, I appreciate it.
I'm loving my new governor more and more 😁😁
This is a good thing, of course. But for God's sake, why would anyone use a credit card to buy a weapon?
Louisiana is hot lately!
Road Trip!
