Colin Jost\u2019s attempted joke about \u201cde-banking,\u201d and the audience\u2019s full-throated laughter at it, showed both the Weekend Update host doesn\u2019t understand what\u2019s going on in the country and the live audience is living in the same alternate reality, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>De-banking has been happening for years as major banking, lending and financial institutions penalize and suffocate lawful American businesses and their customers simply because they operate in a politically disfavored \u2013 yet completely lawful \u2013 industry. This includes the firearm industry specifically, and current events suggest Jost might just become much more familiar with the term soon as law-abiding Americans might have the last laugh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-de-bank-debunk\">De-Bank Debunk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Jost co-hosts the Weekend Update segment during SNL where he attempts to crack jokes about current events and the news. During last Saturday\u2019s episode, Jost took aim at former President Donald Trump for saying something he incorrectly thought was made up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTrump did have a slight stumble this week while talking about banks, and he introduced an interesting new term called de-bank,\u201d Jost said. \u201cI don\u2019t know what the hell de-bank means, but you might have to take \u2018de-ambulance\u2019 to see \u2018de-doctor.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jost\u2019s joke is objectively lame and came after he played a<strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/EndWokeness\/status\/1751588557506920848?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"snl-jokes-de-banking-is-fiction-firearm-industry-knows-jokes-on-them\" title=\"SNL Jokes De-Banking Is Fiction, Firearm Industry Knows Joke's on Them\">short video<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;of the former president speaking on the campaign stump. The president said, \u201cWe\u2019re also going to place strong protections to stop banks and regulators from trying to de-bank you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be fair, if Jost\u2019s sole source of news comes from media outlets like The New York Times or other left-leaning or mainstream media outlets, it wouldn\u2019t be surprising that he\u2019s unaware of what de-banking is or for how long it\u2019s gone on.

Those same media outlets tend to support gun control efforts and the political officials and administrations that push for more gun restrictions. They also refuse to acknowledge any problems experienced by the lawful and highly-regulated firearm industry in their attempts to serve law-abiding customers exercising their Second Amendment rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the weekend\u2019s show, SNL was&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/snl-mocked-woke-smugness-claiming-trump-made-up-term-de-banking\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"snl-jokes-de-banking-is-fiction-firearm-industry-knows-jokes-on-them\" title=\"SNL Jokes De-Banking Is Fiction, Firearm Industry Knows Joke's on Them\"><strong>roundly mocked<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;for the out-of-touch joke. According to Fox News, commentator Steve Guest posted on X, formerly Twitter, \u201cThe woke smugness of SNL is out of control.\u201d X user Doug Powers chimed in as well, saying, \u201cSNL\u2019s in such a hurry to dunk on Trump that they made themselves look like idiots again,\u201d and posting a picture of the definition of de-bank.

SNL\u2019s Jost is definitely unaware of just how long this financial discrimination has been occurring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During President Barack Obama\u2019s time in The White House, the administration created \u201cOperation Choke Point\u201d (OCP), a government-led effort to use the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and Department of Justice (DOJ) to penalize and suffocate financial institutions that extended essential banking services to the already highly-regulated industries like the oil and gas industry, as well as firearm industry. The goal was to coerce banks, third-party payment processors and other financial institutions into closing or denying business accounts of clients that the FDIC classified as \u201chigh risk\u201d or as a \u201creputational risk.\u201d The administration specifically included federal firearm licensees (FFLs) and other firearm and ammunition industry-related businesses. It was a troubling chapter in a new era of government abuse of power. NSSF, with Capitol Hill allies, successfully led the fight to force the Obama administration to halt official OCP activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-see-also-rose-by-sig-sauer-celebrates-first-birthday-celebration-for-month-of-february\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/rose-by-sig-sauer-celebrates-first-birthday-celebration-for-month-of-february\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"snl-jokes-de-banking-is-fiction-firearm-industry-knows-jokes-on-them\" title=\"SNL Jokes De-Banking Is Fiction, Firearm Industry Knows Joke's on Them\">ROSE by SIG SAUER Celebrates First Birthday Celebration for Month of February<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>However, while the FDIC indicated it would take steps to end the targeting of politically disfavored industries, including the firearm industry, the discrimination continues today. It has been privatized to the large corporate financial service providers which implement ESG policies that penalize many of the same businesses. Major financial institutions, including JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo and others, as well as Big Tech and social media companies, regularly penalize, refuse services and discriminate against businesses in the firearm industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the meantime, legal, legitimate and highly-regulated businesses licensed by the federal government are still being choked off from the financial system, demonstrating the critical need for the adoption of Firearm Nondiscrimination (FIND) Act legislation in both the states and at by the federal government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-firearm-industry-fighting-back\">Firearm Industry Fighting Back<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>NSSF has worked closely within state legislatures to implement tough safeguards against this corporate boardroom gun control commonly seen today. In Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott signed the FIND Act bill into law in 2021. As a result, major banks like Citigroup and JP Morgan Chase have lost out on several million dollars of municipal bond contracts because of their anti-firearm industry banking policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 2021, several states have adopted NSSF-supported FIND Act laws that bar state governments from entering into contracts with companies that benefit from taxpayer dollars while also instituting \u201cwoke\u201d ESG and antigun discriminatory policies on those taxpayers. These include Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, Ohio, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming. Still several more states will consider their version of the FIND Act during 2024 legislative sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the federal level, NSSF fully supports H.R. 53, the Firearm Industry Nondiscrimination (FIND) Act, introduced by U.S. Rep. Jack Bergman (R-Mich.). The bill has 115 co-sponsors and is vital to end the ability of corporate entities to profit from taxpayer-funded federal contracts while discriminating against a Constitutionally-protected industry at the same time. Across the Capitol in the U.S. Senate, Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.) introduced the companion legislation, S. 428, and the bill has 17 cosponsors in the upper chamber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-S.D.) introduced&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/118th-congress\/senate-bill\/293?q=%7B%22search%22%3A%5B%22S.+293%22%5D%7D&amp;s=1&amp;r=1\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"snl-jokes-de-banking-is-fiction-firearm-industry-knows-jokes-on-them\" title=\"SNL Jokes De-Banking Is Fiction, Firearm Industry Knows Joke's on Them\">S. 293<\/a><\/strong>, the Fair Access to Banking Act, to end the discriminatory lending practices of major banking institutions that seek to circumvent the legislative process and set social policy from the boardroom. That bill has 36 cosponsors. In the House, U.S. Rep. Andy Barr (R-Ky.) introduced companion Fair Access to Banking Act legislation,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/118th-congress\/house-bill\/2743\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"snl-jokes-de-banking-is-fiction-firearm-industry-knows-jokes-on-them\" title=\"SNL Jokes De-Banking Is Fiction, Firearm Industry Knows Joke's on Them\"><strong>H.R. 2743<\/strong><\/a>, to do the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jost\u2019s total ignorance about something that has been taking place for nearly two decades and impacting the lives and livelihoods of millions of Americans isn\u2019t surprising.
