Hopefully this memo is a fake. If not, close your account. The AltLeft is conducting a campaign to deprive you of the 2nd Amendment, and they're going to get the banks to stop doing business with gun stores.

Chicken Little much?

Does a background check deprive you of your 2nd Amendment rights?
Does an age limit of 21 deprive you of your 2nd Amendment rights?
Does banning bump stocks deprive you of your 2nd Amendment rights?

I hope the NRA and gun nuts make a big deal out of this. It will continue to show regular Americans how out of touch they are.

You forgot something.

Hi-Cap magazines. Totally legal.
It's legal for 18-year olds to bear arms.
18-year olds are in the military, with the military version of the AR-15.

And what objective statistics is Citigroup using to determine that over 18 is too low a standard? Or are they just listening to their HR/PR departments, full of AltLeft SJWs?

I just hate seeing a smackdown like that.

Those pesky facts again.

HappyGilmore says

If you're a 20 year old mother or father who wants to protect their kids, it does.

HappyGilmore says

Does a background check deprive you of your 2nd Amendment rights?

Please read the memo above. If you don't pass a background check, you're not buying a firearm. So, number one in that memo is a total joke.

HappyGilmore says

Does banning bump stocks deprive you of your 2nd Amendment rights?

You missed the part in number 3 about "high-capacity magazines". Can you please tell me what that definition is, seems like a pretty broad and non-descript policy. What constitutes "high-capacity" in LibbieLand?

APOCALYPSEFUCKisShostikovitch says

Real bankers are fucking armed and at large, safety OFF!, ready to ROCK! and ROLL! at 144 rounds a second, rocking M134, exactly as the Founding Fathers commanded.

Time to decharter Citi!

That time was in 2008 when it should have gone bankrupt.

I am glad I don’t have their stock. Because this will hurt.

Corp getting into politics is stupid business, doesn’t attract new clients, only alienates many.

Of course it's legal now. Citi wouldn't have to come out with their own guidelines if Congress wasn't already bought and paid for by the NRA. Citi is using common sense--that's the objective standard.

Sorry--I'll add the last line for you and Sniper.

Does taking away hi cap magazines deprive you of your 2nd Amendment rights??

(and a bonus question--does the 2nd Amendment guarantee that every private company has to transact with every any and every business?)

All gun laws limit the 2A.

You keep spewing this same Liberal, Rachel Maddow, bullshit but never answer a direct question, so I'll try again:

WineHorror1 says

Actually all "arms" laws limit the 2A. And we already have a bunch of them.

But limit is not the same as deprive.

I've never heard of a place called LibbieLand so I have no idea what the laws are there.

But, if you're asking about the OP, then you need to check with Citigroup as to their definition of "high capacity"

Trump needs to look at Citigroup as a target for federal anti-trust laws. If this corporation considers itself so big and so indispensable that it can issue “legislation” from its board room, it’s too big and should be broken up like any monopoly.

HappyGilmore says

Since when should American citizens need to check with executives of a corporation to see what rights they still have?
Check your elite privilege!

It's funny how quickly Trump supporters pivot from idolizing private business to calling for Big Government to save them.

Trump is pretty much the definition of hypocrisy. And his supporters lap it up.

HappyGilmore says

I’m an individual, not a faceless Trump supporter, and I don’t recall ever idolizing big business. Rather, I have made hundreds of posts calling out big business for influencing our government to enrich themselves and oppress American workers.

Ignorance is catching, especially on the Left.

Whoa--take a step back here. You do not have a right for to require Citigroup to do business with you!

Citigroup is taking NO rights away from you.

Your ignorance is showing again.

Citi privately brands cards for many retailers, so by them saying you can't use their card for firearms purchases, is a direct corporate decision against the 2nd Amendment.

Citi privately brands cards for many retailers, so by them saying you can't use their card for firearms purchases, is a direct corporate decision against the 2nd Amendment.

I believe this is against the rules again.

But, it's also factually incorrect. Citi's policy does not forbid consumers from buying things with Citi cards.

Go read the letter from Citi in the OP and report back.

Sniper says

Go read the letter from Citi in the OP and report back.

Yep--your statement is still factually incorrect.

This policy is in regards to retail businesses, not consumers. And nowhere does it say you can't buy firearms. Not sure where you came up with that.

Yes, retail partners (Retail branded cards processed by Citi) who SELL firearms to consumers. Third paragraph in the OP.

Are you really this obtuse or has your trolling reached new highs?

Serious question, not an attack..

Still against the rules.

And you are still factually incorrect.--it's not stopping anyone from using a Citi card to buy firearms, nor is it stopping any retailer from selling firearms.

I've got two citibank cards - been looking for a reason to cancel some accounts for years now. I'll be canceling those today if it's possible over a weekend. Otherwise this week. That'll leave me with a Bank 'O America and Chase I think..

I'm a deadbeat anyway. I've been paying off my balances monthly every since I cleared my debt (the bad debt) in 2005.
