Title: Citi bank and Homedepot
Post by: Heavies on October 10, 2010, 04:06:47 PM

Just found out about this over on AccurateShooter.com.  I did not even know that Home depot and Citi had such an anti gun view.

Recently Charles Lake, President of Warne Scope Mounts, applied for a business line of credit at Home Depot. The application was initially approved, but a day later the credit line was rescinded based on Warne’s industry sector. Lake was expressly told that credit was denied because Warne “make(s) parts for the gun industry.”

Lowe's is better anyway IMO.

Seems strange -- Home depot hires lots of post military.  After reading it, I got a feeling it was just "one" person that did that. I really don't think that is the view of home depot at all.

Ah yes. It seems that because they deal with Citi group as their credit company.  Citi is the anti gun credit card company.  Doing some other searching, seems these policies have been in effect for a while.
Just didn't know.

I heard paypal is also gun nazi's. Any one have a compiled list of other companies that have a very anti gun sentiment?

then why does CITI do business with Home Depot on their credit cards?  Home Depot sells gun safes!  Look in the corner of the tools section!

I read something about this in one of the emails the NRA sends out. I believe they are a part of the suit.

For many of you who contribute to different charities, such as Untied Way, I would strongly suggest you look at where your money is going to.
 
Many United Way recipients are open Anti 2A.  So why give them any money?  When I was working for the City, it looked good for each Department to have 100%.  I started saying NO to donating anything to any group(s) that are counter to what I believe or want.
Want to guess how upset I made some people.  After that, the other Pro 2A people I knew in the City also said no to contributions.
 
If I donate, I always find out if the organiztion is Pro or Anti 2A. 
 
MY MONEY, I'll give it out to who I WANT.

PayPal is 99.9% anti-gun since it is owned by eBay. I wasn't using eBay back in it's early years but I heard it used to have guns available on it's auctions before they banned them after high profile incidents.

When I say 99.9% it's that the 1% is from parts/accessories etc. eBay doesn't mind if you're buying Russian Dragunov furniture or M4 rails etc.
