Citibank Reverses Course, Drops Anti- Second Amendment Policy
- Citibank dropped its 2018 policy restricting Second Amendment rights of clients this week, ending limits on firearm-related business nationwide.
- The change comes in response to new policies, Presidential directives, federal laws, and increased pressure during President Trump's second term.
- In 2018, Citibank implemented a company-wide policy affecting a range of clients—including small enterprises and larger commercial and institutional accounts—as well as credit partners, barring the sale of bump stocks and certain firearms unless specific bank conditions were satisfied.
- Will Hild called Citi's reversal "a step in the right direction" while Trump urged banks to stop excluding conservatives, highlighting accusations of discriminatory debanking.
- This reversal, alongside Bank of America’s similar rollback, signals a shift in major banks resuming normal relations with legal gun businesses after seven years.
