With a 7 to 6 vote the commission decided to walk away from the financial institutions on a planned highway project.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217; constitutional right to buy and sell firearms.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I love it,&#8221; said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saf.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"louisiana-halts-600-million-deal-banks-gun-control\" title=\"Louisiana Halts $600 Million Deal with Banks over Corporate Gun Control\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Second Amendment Foundation<\/a> vice president Alan Gottlieb in an email to GunsAmerica. &#8220;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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is about time that we make our opponents feel the pain for their actions that demonized lawful firearms Ownership,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>Citigroup&#8217;s policy halts business with vendors selling &#8220;high-capacity&#8221; 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 &#8220;military-style&#8221; guns.<\/p>\n<p>Both companies enacted these policies following prominent shootings. Still, commission members said that their decisions hurt residents&#8217; Second Amendment rights.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As treasurer and chairman of the Bond Commission it is one of my duties to help hire financial professionals and not necessarily social engineers,&#8221; said Schroder. The commission has 16 more bids for the project to evaluate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI personally believe the policies of these banks are an infringement on the rights of Louisiana citizens,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bizjournals.com\/charlotte\/news\/2018\/08\/17\/bank-of-america-citigroup-banned-from-bond-sale-in.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"louisiana-halts-600-million-deal-banks-gun-control\" title=\"Louisiana Halts $600 Million Deal with Banks over Corporate Gun Control\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said Schroder<\/a>. \u201cAs a veteran and former member of law enforcement, I take the Second Amendment very seriously.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;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,&#8221; he continued.<\/p>\n<p>Opponents, including Republican state senate president John Alario, warned that the decision could lead to lawsuits against the state. &#8220;It puts us in an awkward position,&#8221; he said. \u201cI am worried about the bottom line to the state of Louisiana, too. True conservatives worry about the dollars.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can\u2019t put a price tag on the Second Amendment,\u201d argued Louisiana Rep. Blake Miguez. \u201cI know you\u2019re from New York,\u201d Miguez told head of Corporate Citizenship at Citigroup Brandee McHale. \u201cThis is Louisiana. This is not California. This is not Canada &#8230; This is an infringement on Second Amendment constitutional rights in Louisiana.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McHale said that the bank has &#8220;few, if any&#8221; customers in the state that have been affected by the policy. \u201cThe ability of the merchant to sell the item is being restricted by you,\u201d countered Attorney General Jeff Landry.<\/p>\n<p>Members of the commission debated whether or not they had the discretion to make a decision like this. \u201cThis was deciding who we would pay a fee to be a senior advisor,\u201d said Republican House Speaker Taylor Barras. \u201cAs we evaluate bidders, it\u2019s within our jurisdiction to ask those questions.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">***<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/BrowseSpecificCategory\/Parent\/Guns\/ViewAll.aspx\" campaign=\"BuyARGunsAmerica\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Buy an AR on GunsAmerica<\/a>***<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Louisiana will not be working with Citigroup and Bank of America on a deal worth $600 million due to the companies&#8217; position on gun sales.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":50,"featured_media":95778,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[244,25,461,240],"tags":[132,607,122],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-95760","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-2nd-amendment-r2kba","8":"category-current-events","9":"category-max-slowik","10":"category-this-week","11":"tag-buzz","12":"tag-news","13":"tag-r2kba"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.2) -
