Citibank takes an anti-gun stand
The first company to be affected by this decision appears to be firearms distributor CDNN Sports Inc.This is curious timing. I would think, under the circumstances, that Citibank would not want to be making new enemies at this particular point in time. And as with any interesting news we see over the next few weeks, we must ask who among the presidential candidates this helps and hurts.
"We were contacted recently by First Data/Citi Merchant Services by a June Rivera-Mantilla stating that we were terminated and funds were being seized for selling firearms in a non-face-to-face transaction," said Charlie Crawford, president of CDNN Sports Inc. "Although perfectly legal, we were also informed that no transactions would be processed in the future, even for non-firearms. I find this very frightening."

This is ridiculous on the part of Citibank. I have been a customer of theirs for years, but now I think I will switch to another bank that doesn't try to tell its customers what lawful businesses they can be involved in.
