Since the Parkland attack, YouTube, Wal-Mart, and Dick\u2019s Sporting Goods have all announced do-gooder policies designed to discriminate against groups of gun owners and categories of legal firearms. Hertz, among others, have parted ways with the National Rifle Association, and even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/florida-banned-ar-15-triggers\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"citigroups-anti-gun-policies-template\" title=\"When Banks Attack: Citigroup\u2019s Anti-Gun Policies May Provide 'Template' for Others\">pro-gun Florida<\/a> has instituted what may be an unconstitutional age restriction on gun purchases.<\/p>\n<p>Gun owners have alternative options for grocery shopping and online video streaming, but Citigroup\u2019s recent decision to prohibit certain types of firearm sales could pose the biggest risk to the gun industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCiti\u2019s decision has the potential to serve as a template for others in the finance industry,\u201d according to Andrew Sorokin at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/03\/26\/business\/citigroup-guns.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"citigroups-anti-gun-policies-template\" title=\"When Banks Attack: Citigroup\u2019s Anti-Gun Policies May Provide 'Template' for Others\">New York Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Citi <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/03\/22\/business\/citigroup-gun-control-policy.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"citigroups-anti-gun-policies-template\" title=\"When Banks Attack: Citigroup\u2019s Anti-Gun Policies May Provide 'Template' for Others\">announced<\/a> last week its plans to \u201crestrict\u201d gun sales by business partners. It will no longer do business with companies that sell bump-fire stocks and \u201chigh capacity\u201d magazines. It will also require its clients to perform background checks on all gun purchases (which is already required by law, but whatever) and prohibit the sale of firearms to anyone under the age of 21.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t pretend that these answers are perfect, but as we looked at the things we thought we could influence, we felt that, working with our clients, we could make a difference,\u201d Citigroup\u2019s chief executive Michael L. Corbat told the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/03\/22\/business\/citigroup-gun-control-policy.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"citigroups-anti-gun-policies-template\" title=\"When Banks Attack: Citigroup\u2019s Anti-Gun Policies May Provide 'Template' for Others\">New York Times<\/a>. \u201cBanks serve a societal purpose \u2014 we believe our investors want us to do this and be responsible corporate citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s where it gets scary. According to Sorokin, virtually all the major banks have created \u201cformal or informal working groups\u201d to consider the issue, as have the big credit card companies, including Visa, Mastercard,\u00a0and American Express.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, if local gun shops don\u2019t fall in line, they may not have access to the financial services they need to keep their businesses afloat.<\/p>\n<p>Citigroup admitted that it did not have the \u201ctechnology nor the legal ability\u201d to monitor gun purchases at the payment-processing level, but said that the \u201cindustry was discussing the possibility.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/dicks-deep-losses-anti-gun-stance\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"citigroups-anti-gun-policies-template\" title=\"When Banks Attack: Citigroup\u2019s Anti-Gun Policies May Provide 'Template' for Others\">Dick\u2019s Posts \u2018Deeper than Expected\u2019 Losses Weeks After Taking Anti-Gun Stance<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Sorokin has a few ideas. In proposals worthy of <em>1984, <\/em>he outlines two technologies that would allow Big Brother on Wall Street to monitor and prohibit sales it has unilaterally deemed morally unworthy.<\/p>\n<p>First, Sorokin argues that banks should create sub-categories of purchase codes that allow them to see whenever one of the clients sells a firearm. This solution might \u201crequire some enforcement,\u201d as gun sellers will attempt to game the system, but he believes that eventually gun makers will \u201cvoluntarily follow the \u2018best practices\u2019 route.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Second, Sorokin proposes a solution to the age-old \u201cgun show loophole.\u201d Because some states don\u2019t require background checks on private gun sales, he argues that services like Venmo and Square should \u201celectronically geo-fence\u201d gun shows. This could require each transaction at that event be limited to users over 21 or require additional information for sales to be processed at that location.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve shared these ideas with many of the biggest financial institutions, and the feedback, with some exceptions, has been quite positive,\u201d Sorokin claims.<\/p>\n<p>If Citigroup and other banks refuse to do business with the pro-gun community, new financial institutions will be more than happy to fill the gap. It\u2019s still a free market, after all.<\/p>\n<p>But prohibiting gun makers and sellers from using established banks will still serve to expel gun owners from mainstream American culture. Criminalizing guns and gun accessories is only one prong of the anti-gun strategy. Cultural marginalization is perhaps even more important, and the recent corporate attacks are a big part of that move.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Citi announced last week its plans to \u201crestrict\u201d gun sales by business partners.
