Our fathers and grandfathers would already have him tarred & feathered and on a rail, along with numerous other politicians and celebrities. Why are we so different? What are we afraid of?

[goodnesswins]

Says the Mayor of a City with likely the HIGHEST murder rate in the US....and the HIGHEST number of guns in the hands of CRIMINALS! The People of Chicago are the ones who are the problem...electing evil.

[MtnClimber]

Freedom loving people should boycott IllAnnoy. There is nothing like failure to give a lesson.

[CORedneck]

FURE !!!!!

[MtnClimber]

FURE and FUBO!!!

[ConservativeInPA]

I already know some banks and financial related companies are going along with this, whether pushed by Rahm or not. When CWII occurs, it will be booty time.

[bmwcyle]

Who is in charge? Congress or banks or they all just in control together?

[taterjay]

Remember Rahm and ChikFilA. Chicago values I think he said.

[EternalVigilance]

Un-American.

[willibeaux]

Rahm needs to have his @zz kicked with a broghan so hard his nose will bleed.

Another CO Redneck. HooRah! :-)

Would that not violate the equal protection clause? What if the banks decided to not do business with convicts, would Rev Jessie and AL be screaming? What if banks said they would no longer do business with poor folks or people in Chicago, or homosexuals? Of course being liberal means never having to be consistent nor ever being sorry.

good thing intimidation and coercion aren't against the law...

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Everything about ‘progressivism’ is about ‘culling the herd’....so that a ‘master race’ is left. IOW, the ‘elites’. Can’t be having the masses making a good living or having aspirations. That’s ‘competition’.

[dznutz]

We have had five shot and killed today in Chicago and the day isn’t over yet. Maybe the mayor can tell the government to stop financing the killers with our tax dollars.

[Dr.Zoidberg]

“Collectively we can send a clear and unambiguous message to the entire gun industry...

And that message IS clear. You, rahm, and your slimy communist ilk are mortal enemies of America and its citizens.

[Mastador1]

I think anyone who believes in freedom, whether they own a gun or not needs to pull their money from these banks and invest it with like minded institutions and as far as these credit card services that are screwing with legitimate business, there must be an alternative for the businesses to use or by God there is an opportunity for someone to step in and pick up a boatload of clients. I have yet to hear of a bank refusing to work with abortionists or prostitutes, whats next will they refuse to bank with knife manufacturers? Or Ammo manufacturers? Wait maybe they will start asking existing and prospective clients if they are Conservative, because we Conservatives are more likely to defend ourselves so we might injure or kill someone in the process!

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

So they devise a plan. EVERYthing a prog legislates has a ‘knock-on effect’.

Ruger and S&W ought to sue the City of Chicago for tortuous interferance.
