Posted on my FB wall from Double G Guns about an hour ago:
He then went on to post the new TOS for Square:
He then posted the letter they sent him notifying him of the update:
Square is now anti-gun, and as such, apparently now anti-small business. I will be telling people I know who use Square to stop using them for any and all transactions. I had considered using Square myself. I will not be using their service now.
As of today we can no longer take debit/credit cards till I get set up with a new company....our current card company has decided they will not support the sale of guns,ammo or anything related to firearms.........SQUARE UP is anti gun now...
He then went on to post the new TOS for Square:

Hello.

The vast majority of changes result from either reorganization, clarification of language, the deletion of duplicative text, or other aesthetic changes, although there are a few substantive modifications. (See, for example, Section 6 [Your Square Account], Section 7 [Our Role], Section 12 [Applicable Network Rules], Section 15(a) [Access to Square Account Funds], Section 15(b) [Right to Setoff], Section 16 [Payout Schedule], Section 24 [Taxes], Section 36 [Disclosures and Notices], Section 47 [Representation and Warranties], and Section 49b [Third Party Products].)
The updated agreement will take effect on June 9, 2013. If you continue to use our services after June 9, 2013, you agree to the terms of the new agreement. You will be able to access the previous version of the agreement for the next thirty days.
