It has come to our attention that First Data has terminated their relationship with a We discussed with Mr. Crawford said termination due to the sale of firearms in a non face-to-face environment. Keep in mind that a violation of the Gun Control Act occurs when a gun offered online is sold to an individual in another state: the act prohibits selling a handgun to a resident of another state. Shipping across state lines is also banned, yet guns for sale online reach people across the country. We at Citi Merchant Service are unable to monitor or track adherence to these Gun Control laws. CDNN is a federally licensed firearms dealer. It is legal to sell and ship firearms across state lines; secondly it is not Citi’s responsibility to uphold the law. The state and federal government have many restrictions and laws that govern a multitude of consumer products including such products like automobiles and alcohol. Will Citi terminate their contracts with online alcohol dealers based on the fact that it is against the law to sell alcohol to a minor and Citi will not be able to monitor or track these sells. Will Citi terminate their contracts with online automobile dealers because they are selling automobiles that can exceed the maximum speed limit although Citi will not be able to monitor or track these violations? These examples may seem ridiculous to Citi / First Data, but they are no different than the excuse used to terminate CDNN’s contract. If you do any business with CitiBank or First Data, please reconsider replacing them with a firearms friendly company. Additional please contact Citi and First Data to express your concerns in regards to their anti-gun policies and tactics. |

Just more BS. There's a list of the anti-gun buisinesses, I think it's on the NRA website, or there is a link there.

Problem is, there aren't many alternatives. Gunbroker doesn't get close to the same traffic.

This is the statement to which I refer. Look- I've bought stuff like scopes ( from SWFA,etc) off of ebay, but I surely miss those restricted items like Encore barrels,etc....Plus, this statement certainly doesn't sound pro-gun- that's for sure ! Edited by martin3175 - January/05/2008 at 04:15 |

Tends to make you wonder how many drug dealers and thieves have accounts there at that bank - that the bank is unaware of, and just exactly why cant that bank monitor every violation of law involving money - (whos your daddy ?)
Interesting concept that the bank thinks it is their business to monotor how funds are spent, makes you not want to use debit cards - huh. Edited by Urimaginaryfrnd - January/05/2008 at 11:27 |

Since my brother works in management for Citi Bank I asked him- here is the reply:
What's unfortunate about the attached quote is that Citi no longer has any merchant processing operations. We sold that to First Data several years ago. (First Data is an American Express spin off). I think who ever is attributing the change to Citi is incorrect - it should be a First Data issue. Another note, First Data was recently taken private. All the stock was purchased by a private equity company though I forget the name. K. used to work for them so we had some FDC stock but since the buyout we no longer have any.
I don't have as strong a feeling about guns as you, and dad, do. However, I am very opposed to limitations on purchasing then as long as they are purchased for valid reasons by non criminals. The real issue is that we need to uphold valid laws relative to the mis use of weapons. If a gun is used in a crime, there should be additional penalties. Guns used for hunting, protection or target practice should not be limited.

It has been that automobiles are more dangerous than guns. More people that drive cars that have parts purchased on EBAY have killed more than ten times the people harmed by guns. Any automobile manufacture that builds a car that can be used in a crime should be closed. EBAY should be held accountable. All excutives of any lender that loans money for the purchase of an automobile that is used in a crime should be held fully accountable for the crimes commited.
BUY MORE HORSES!!!

They are starting to demand drug testing on anyone receiving government aid, it should include Wall Street and bankers and insurance companies.
