It appeared on the news only briefly after the Parkland, Florida massacre. During the previous administration there were rumors that ways were being considered to skirt around its inability to legislate weapons bans for confiscation by using some way to either cut off their manufacture, sales, or to make ammunition so expensive that it would prohibitive to acquire it. Now that a couple of months have gone by most of the public has forgotten about it.
However, a new meansof accomplishing this goal has surfaced and Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana has called fowl on corporate banks such as Citicorp and Bank of America for implementing a policy of treating businesses dealing in gun sales in a different way. It's apparently now trendy to deal differently with politically incorrect businesses who engage in sales and manufacturing of firearms.
These banks' decision to regulate who businesses can and can't sell to and what they can or can't sell is the corporate financial sector's new fascistic move to enforce an ideological belief on a specific business it feels is undesirable. In fact, Bank of America has announced it will no longer give loans to businesses who make semi-automatic rifles. The second amendment might as well have been erased from the Bill of Rights as far as they're concerned.
I've had a long standing account with Bank of America. This news has me thinking about researching a move to close and transfer my B of A assets to another financial institution. If enough second amendment advocates wrote the corporate "big whigs" of these banks to let them know this was going to be done, it might get their attention and rethink their unconstitutional policy. Oh wait... apparently they don't care about whether it's unconstitutional.
