Louisiana Halts 0 Million Deal with Banks over Corporate Gun Control

The Louisiana State Bond Commission will not be working with Citigroup and Bank of America Merrill Lynch on a deal worth $600 million due to the companies’ position on gun sales. With a 7 to 6 vote the commission decided to walk away from the financial institutions on a planned highway project.

Both Citigroup and Bank of America recently announced new policies limiting their business with gun sellers and manufacturers. State Treasurer John Schroder took a stand against future deals with the companies, arguing that they were infringing on Louisianans’ constitutional right to buy and sell firearms.

“I love it,” said Second Amendment Foundation vice president Alan Gottlieb in an email to GunsAmerica. “These Commissioners are true patriots. This is a great push back on the gun prohibitionists plans to punish all of us who want to exercise our constitutional Second Amendment rights.”

“It is about time that we make our opponents feel the pain for their actions that demonized lawful firearms Ownership,” he added.

Citigroup’s policy halts business with vendors selling “high-capacity” magazines and stores that sell to adults under the age of 21, excepting law enforcement and military customers. Bank of America is no longer working with companies that produce “military-style” guns.

Both companies enacted these policies following prominent shootings. Still, commission members said that their decisions hurt residents’ Second Amendment rights.

“As treasurer and chairman of the Bond Commission it is one of my duties to help hire financial professionals and not necessarily social engineers,” said Schroder. The commission has 16 more bids for the project to evaluate.

“I personally believe the policies of these banks are an infringement on the rights of Louisiana citizens,” said Schroder. “As a veteran and former member of law enforcement, I take the Second Amendment very seriously.

“We have a very capable group of underwriters including some of the biggest banks in America who want to participate in this deal. No one can convince me that keeping these two banks in this competitive process is worth giving up our rights,” he continued.

Opponents, including Republican state senate president John Alario, warned that the decision could lead to lawsuits against the state. “It puts us in an awkward position,” he said. “I am worried about the bottom line to the state of Louisiana, too. True conservatives worry about the dollars.”

“You can’t put a price tag on the Second Amendment,” argued Louisiana Rep. Blake Miguez. “I know you’re from New York,” Miguez told head of Corporate Citizenship at Citigroup Brandee McHale. “This is Louisiana. This is not California. This is not Canada … This is an infringement on Second Amendment constitutional rights in Louisiana.”

McHale said that the bank has “few, if any” customers in the state that have been affected by the policy. “The ability of the merchant to sell the item is being restricted by you,” countered Attorney General Jeff Landry.

Members of the commission debated whether or not they had the discretion to make a decision like this. “This was deciding who we would pay a fee to be a senior advisor,” said Republican House Speaker Taylor Barras. “As we evaluate bidders, it’s within our jurisdiction to ask those questions.”

    As part of a group that went to Baton Rouge a few months ago to show support for pro-gun bills and oppose anti-gun bills, I can just imagine who the 6 were. Trust me when I say we have our own versions of Maxine Waters, Shelia Jackson Lee, Ocasio Cortez and Hank Johnson. Fortunately for now, intelligence is in the majority.

    I have a substantial trust that I manage and have decided to move all assets to a 2A friendly bank and away from BOA and PNC. I will be including a similar letter to them as I shut down all of the accounts. Even though we are talking some substantial cash here and likely will cause some heartache for the branch manager, it will barely be a blip at the corporate level. If everyone follows through and moves away from these institutions that threaten our rights and makes sure that you voice your reason for leaving it may make a difference. It will also give those institutions that are 2A friendly some additional incentive to continue to do the right thing.

    • Dan February 7, 2020, 8:11 am

      That is great to hear, and that was an effective action that many more pro 2A people should do too.
      Congratulations sir! High Five for that!

  • Geoff August 28, 2018, 7:31 pm

    I have my own little way of jabbing. I use my Citi and Cap One cards to only buy guns or related accessories. I pay them off immediately so they get no interest but I want them to know their money is used to purchase the things they hate.

    I’d love to cancel them but they are my longest standing cards and I can’t kill my credit like that just yet. But I will one day.

    • SD August 29, 2018, 11:51 am

      They’re still making money from your purchases. They charge the retailer a fee for the purchase.

    • Joe February 7, 2020, 8:15 am

      Cancelling credit cards that have no balance on them can actually improve your credit score, since you have reduced your open accounts. Especially if they are long standing accounts. Even if it does not improve your score, I doubt that it hurts it. At worst, it will have no effect at all.
      Then you should easily be able get another credit card with a 2A friendly company.

  • JaoquinPardee August 26, 2018, 10:58 am

    I have a card with BOA which I seldom use but keep active because it has an extremely low interest rate which I want to keep available in case of an emergency. Occasionally, perhaps every 2-3 months, I use it just to keep it active and pay off completely when it comes due, plus a dime. This leaves a positive balance which causes them to send a statement each month. I don’t know what it costs now, but years ago when I worked for HP the generally accepted cost to generate a statement and then mail it, was in excess of $3.00. Just my way of jabbing them a tiny bit. I know it doesn’t hurt them in the least but it makes me feel better.

    • Mr. Sparkles August 29, 2018, 12:45 pm

      Great idea. I too have a BOA card and was going to just cancel it but I like your idea better. Thx!

  • shocked August 26, 2018, 8:47 am

    If all patriots got behind by about three months on paying those credit card companies it might make them wish they’d never gotten involved. Can you not afford to fight back? The GD credit score keeping you in line bro? Let them understand we’ve got the power they’ve got the big megaphone. Do not use those cards for anything and do not pay the damn bills either. That might make these fascist companies drop off the face of the earth. The only reason to watch the broadcasts is to catalog their advertisers. It is now time to let these jerks know it goes both ways.

    • SD August 29, 2018, 11:56 am

      That’s the dumbest idea I’ve ever heard. Get behind 3 months on your bill? Who are you trying to hurt? That would only hurt your credit. In most cases they would sic a collection agency on you and you’d end up paying enormous interest and penalties. I just quit using the card for anything. You can still keep the card which only requires them to do more paperwork, but don’t use it for any transactions. Period.

  • Michael D. Lindley August 25, 2018, 12:12 pm

    As a Louisiana citizen, I am very proud of our representatives. There are other fish in the sea and we sure as hell don’t need Bank of America. I had an account from years ago that I kept open due to shopping for mortgage lenders and more favorable rates for existing customers. However, when I learned about their anti-gun agenda, it gave me great pleasure to call B of A and tell them to cancel my account followed by another call to their mortgage company telling them to cancel my pre-approval and delete all of my information. The loan officer was pissed (7 figure purchase price), but I made it very clear why I would not do business with them. It felt great. So f*ck off Bank of America!

  • Ben Aronson August 24, 2018, 7:23 pm

    In my small way I did the same thing and do not use either credit card any more I also do not shop at Dick’s sporting good’s chain as they are also anti gun

    I pulled over $30,000 out of BOA and get a better deal with BMO Harris at 2.5%. BOA has not paid a decent interest in years.

  • steve August 24, 2018, 3:43 pm

    Is this true that bin laden family owns citybank if so how come everyone in this country dosent know this? Hope Louisiana is setting a new mindset for everyone who wants to protect any of their rights against big money and politics

    • kane August 24, 2018, 5:26 pm

      Snopes says that is NOT true, so it must be true since they are usually wrong.

    Don’t think for a minute that this will mean nothing. If they even get 10 emails in support of their actions, they will talk about it. Just think what 100 emails would do! Please take 3-5 minutes to do this…SHOW THAT YOU REALLY DO CARE FOR OUR RIGHTS AS GUN OWNERS.

    I think I might want to take a long look at Alario.

    • John February 7, 2020, 8:40 am

      I was thinking that same thing too.

      “Opponents, including Republican state senate president John Alario, warned that the decision could lead to lawsuits against the state. “It puts us in an awkward position,” he said. “I am worried about the bottom line to the state of Louisiana, too. True conservatives worry about the dollars.”

      There is no way that decision could lead to lawsuits, or put them in an awkward position.
      The bank customer, in this case the State of LA, can reject any bank for any reason, and there is nothing any bank can do about that.

      What kind of awkward position is he thinking about?
      Yes, he needs to be looked at more closely for his corporate ties, and campaign fund sources…
      He sounds like another RINO.

    Since signing up with citi, Costco has kinda got me hogtied. I’m trying to convince my better half into dumping them but it’s a chore. Gonna keep trying, for sure.

    • Louis August 25, 2018, 9:15 pm

      You don’t have to use the Visa provided by Citicards. Costco accepts any Visa. The only “catch” is your Costco ID linked to the Citi Visa, you can have a separate Costco ID card for that.

      Far as I know this is still valid, unless it’s changed in the last 2 years.

    All the gun and ammo companies need to come together and stop selling guns and ammo to any security or armored car company doing business with these banks. Additionally no trainer should certify or recertify anyone from any company doing business with these banks. If they don’t want anything to do with guns we should give them their wish.

I hope the shareholders of these business find better investments.

Again an economic lesson here. If the bank providing the funds is anti-2nd amendment, guess where they put their surplus funds to work.

        To whom the shoe fits! I have attended many classes, and in these classes I doubt if any two professors graded the same regarding grammar and punctuation. So for you liberal minded who insist on being grammar, punctuation, and spelling Nazi’s instead of the issue at hand;

        I did not use the word “can’t,” can’t is considered a contraction for “cannot” and is considered idiomatic, for proper usage it should be ‘cannot.’

        As to my use of “no” that is exactly what I meant , ‘”No” common sense.’ And not has been suggested of “know” common sense.

        So if you insist on being a Nazi, then bend over place your head between your knees and stuff it up your ‘cant’ orifice.

        Lastly as to banks and Second Amendment issues not being affected, check with the NRA and New York banking.

        Good day!

My 2nd amendment rights aren’t infringed upon…no gun manufacturer or seller will be affected by it because they already have their business and access to other banks…the deal was ready to go…nobody would lose anything…the conflict of principle here is imaginary if not overreactive and overly political…

  • srsquidizen August 24, 2018, 8:08 am

    If bankers discriminate against business owners based on religion they could go to jail. Religious freedom is guaranteed by the Constitution. Discrimination against businesses that are legally exercising 2nd Amendment rights should be a federal crime.

      I agree with you 100% on that, we should make it clear to our commander in chief to pass a law that makes it a federal crime to those that discriminate against our second amendment right.

    This why we need to pay off or transfer any accounts with such banks, merchants and financial institutions that do this type of thing. You have to hurt them were it counts, the pocket book and if enough of us do it they will feel it! I did it some time ago, do your research and do your part!

    I had a boa account, cancelled it and chopped up the card.

    • Dan August 24, 2018, 9:26 am

      I did the same.

    I applaud you for your decision. We bailed the banks out and now they want to disarm us. Hope they wake up.

    AWESOME !! Our Cajun Cousins Standing Tall ! Finally…something positive in the News. The only 1 VOTE scares me though…damn greedy people. But, a Win is a Win. I’ve noticed a lot of these Financial Institutions refusing to do their jobs when it concerns the 2nd. Couple of the Sites I use to purchase Bullets were Blackballed by these ScumBags. If EVERY Single Pro 2nd American will cancel accounts, cut up credit cards and move their money to a PRO AMERICAN bank…these Institutions will change their ways or go under. Together We Stand-Divided We Fall….

      Great vote by the Louisiana 7. WHat is with the other 6? I can only hope the citizens of LA get rid of their sorry asses. Next election.

      What other banks have limited 2nd Amnendment rights? The need a wake up call too. SemoerFi LA.

    Way to go Louisiana! Hope more common sense push back happens!

    I love it! There has to be a counter action against the people who would infringe upon the Second Amendment and any other Constitutional Rights. And, to John Alario, A true Conservative worries about their Constitutional Rights, first, above all else. A prostitute worries about their money first. I guess you (John Alario) have shown your true self.

    Only by one vote? The greed is overwhelming and the corporate overreaching is incrementally undermining our society. I for one will be leaving Bank of America and any affiliation there of.
