Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry and the state’s Bond Commission denied $600 million to Citibank and Bank of America over the gun control stance adopted by both companies.
Citibank and Bank of America were both to be part of a road financing plan in the state, but were omitted from the financial plan after arbitrarily placing new gun controls on banking customers.

File this under “two can play at that game”.
Sweet !!!
The push back begins.
This is government strong arming private business. This goes against the Constitution.
I hope they sue and don’t buckle.
It looks to me like FR’s “Search” function needs work, as I did search this article before posting.
Show me where the Constitution grants private businesses, if an American bank can seriously be called that, a right to a sweetheart government contract?
Think “Chick-Fil-A”.
There are lots of good regional banks out there who don't participate in this kind of bull$#*+. First Commonwealth, here in SW PA, Zions Bank in Utah/ Idaho/ Wyoming and BB&T in Kentucky/ Tennessee/ Virginia are just three good examples.
We have a republic, Not a Corporation. If a Corporation uses its leverage to violate the Constitutionsl rights of the individual it is a usurpation of the position of government.
Good to see them bitch slapped and sent to bed hungry.
What would the complaint be?
Sometimes using only one or two words from the title helps.
You are of course referring to New York State strong arming Bank of America and Citibank to tow the line in Governor Cuomo’s anti gun agenda right?
You DO realize that that’s what New York State did I trust? BofA and Citi caved. If its legal for New York state to do this, then its legal for other states to punish the banks for doing it. New York politicians should not get to impose their views on everybody else.
The response of the Louisiana Attorney General is correct. We need more of this.
For starters, Citibank and BoA have been attempting to restrict interstate commerce, and restrict constitutional rights, to the harm of the nation.
And I suspect these two companies are colluding to implement a Russian plan to disarm America.
Good! Give them a taste of their own medicine!
They aren’t taking anything from Citi. They are representing the interests of their citizens, who are paying the taxes.
Are you okay with government funding of hospitals that provide free abortions?
Heh, heh, heh.
Yes, we love our guns in Louisiana,
Locked and loaded 24/7
“as I did search this article before posting.”
If I may ask, how did you search? With google or some such thing? Because I always see people say ‘they searched’ but I search and it comes right up.
I use that “Search” box at the very top of...The Free Republic page, and it never fails when I try to search for something.
