It’s A Multi-Front Banker War On Gun Owners

Santa Ynez business owner Gabriele Santi was left frustrated and bewildered when his local bank branch abruptly closed his accounts.
He said he walked into his local Rabobank branch recently and was handed a letter stating that the bank was terminating the accounts for his business, the Second Amendment Gun Shop in Santa Ynez.
I have never had an incident with Rabobank and this came as a shock, quite literally. I am usually a loud guy, but I was quiet, Santi said.
According to the bank’s letter, we are required by federal law to exercise due diligence and understand the financial transactions of our customers. When we are unable to meet the standards imposed by law, we have to take appropriate action to reduce risk to the bank.
I literally have no idea what that means. I haven’t broken any laws. In fact, I supply most of the local law enforcement with their guns and ammunition, and this decision is just political, Santi said.
Here is what it means sir. Federal law doesn’t require them to close your account. They voluntarily chose to do that because they don’t believe in your rights or liberties.
Gentlemen, cut your ties to corporate America. It hates you.

Codrea did mention that the proprietor is the main supplier for the costumed tyrants in the area. I agree that this causes less sympathy and would add that this further proves that the Left are idiots.

I Wonder how it would ‘play out’ if a Gun Shop Owner put up a Sign saying “We Do Not Sell to Bank Employees and Government Employees” ?

I apologize in advance for the language, Herschel, but another way to phrase this is to borrow from early SEALS and “Fuck the fucking fuckers before they fucking fuck you.”
