From the email and website from GOA.... Tailored to go to Hanabusa

Threats on the Second Amendment come from all angles, not just from anti-gun politicians.

Undoubtedly, you have seen Dick’s Sporting Goods refusing to sell any more AR-15s, destroying their remaining inventory, and also hiring three anti-gun lobbyists to advise them on the issue.   

As outrageous as that is, now some banks are refusing to do business with certain gun manufactures and gun stores.

The threat here is that if gun manufactures and stores can’t get the financial backing they need to do business, the Second Amendment will be effectively gutted because no one will be making or selling firearms.

Two years ago, Congress passed a GOA-backed appropriations rider prohibiting Obama’s Operation Chokepoint program from cutting off bank loans and other bank services to gun dealers and gun manufacturers. 

The Obama administration’s effort was clearly intended to strangle the exercise of the Second Amendment by shutting down gun dealers and manufacturers. 

To state the obvious, the Second Amendment would become a hollow right without the availability of guns.

Now, several very large financial institutions, such as Citibank and Bank of America -- which are given quasi-monopoly status by federal regulation and which are protected by potential taxpayer bailouts -- are trying to do the same. 

Even more recently, it has been reported that large banks and credit card issuers have been considering a special code for gun-related transactions -- and perhaps even a list of firearms purchased with credit cards. 

Although in the preliminary stages, the discussions could result in a firearm registry maintained by financial institutions -- or perhaps even the selective ability to block all or some gun purchases.

GOA acknowledges that businesses generally have a right to do business with whomever they want. 

However, these banks have been allowed to conduct business as quasi-monopolies by federal regulation and are guaranteed from failure by funds provided by the American taxpayer.

Therefore, these banks shouldn’t be allowed to refuse their services to the legitimate and lawful practice of making and selling firearms.

So please take action on S. 2155 (the Dodd-Frank legislation). It has passed the Senate and is now in the House for consideration.

I already cancelled the Citi card and let them know why.

And then some asshole passed new tax laws that just made these banks that much richer🤔🤔🤔

BOA reversed it's plan.
