Citigroup Bank joins war on 2nd Amendment
DanClrk51:
Citigroup is imposing restrictions on firearm sales by its business partners, becoming the first major U.S. bank to take a financial stand in the growing national debate over gun control.
The New York-based bank this week said it is requiring its partners to bar firearm sales to customers under age 21, as well as those who have not passed a background check.
The bank is also barring clients from selling high-capacity ammunition magazines and so-called bump stocks that enable more rapid firing.

Fortunately I have no accounts business or personal with them, but if I did.....they're done. Thanks for sharing. Still can't believe they're doing this. It's only going to effect they're bottom line......negatively.

First National has too. Apparently they responded to the large volume of bots on twitter without realizing they're bots.
I'd cancel my account but I'm not sure they are profiting from someone as poor as me to begin with.

Doesn't matter. They're not going to audit each lost account and determine whether it was a profitable one to decide whether it hurts them. What they need to see is large numbers of account closings, accompanied by large numbers of letters and phone calls to tell them why otherwise happy customers will no longer do business with them. If only the moderately wealthy people raise a fuss, then they'll hardly notice.
