Since when does a bank have the right to tell it's customers what to do?

This crap is getting out of hand.....I do not have a CITI card but if I did it would be paid off and cut up.

Get Woke, Go Broke

Citigroup is setting restrictions on the sale of firearms by its business customers, making it the first Wall Street bank to take a stance in the divisive nationwide gun control debate.

The new policy, announced Thursday, prohibits the sale of firearms to customers who have not passed a background check or who are younger than 21. It also bars the sale of bump stocks and high-capacity magazines. It would apply to clients who offer credit cards backed by Citigroup or borrow money, use banking services or raise capital through the company.

Edward Skyler, an executive vice president at Citigroup who helped craft the policy, wrote in a blog post that the company’s announcement “will invite passion on both sides.” But he stressed that the policies were “not centered on an ideological mission to rid the world of firearms.”

Yeah Ed, not buying this crap....

Companies raising the age requirement to purchase a firearm are already facing lawsuits.
Let's see how this goes.

A disturbing trend I hope doesn't spread further.

This knee-jerk reaction is getting out of hand. As Killer Mike recently said, "We are progressing ourselves into slavery."

I hope this doesn't set precedence for the banking sector as a whole- I was appreciating my illusion of privacy

Corporate bullies backed by big government, hope they dont need another bailout.

I thought it was illegal to pick and choose your customers. Cake bakers don't get to.
