“We have waited for our grief to turn into action and see our nation adopt common-sense measure that would help prevent firearms form getting into the wrong hands. "

I wonder what that would be, specifically?  We already have tons of gun laws, on top of tons of laws dealing with criminal behavior ........but the deranged do not care about those laws.  

Citibank = political correctness = bad policy

LMAO.  Don't worry.  IF (and that's a huge if) this policy has any actual teeth....rest assured Walmart is going to sell guns, and there will be plenty of banks lining up to do business with Walmart if Citibank doesn't want to.

You all talk about free markets, but when the FREE MARKET does something you don't like, then you want to legislate against it.  Comically ironic.

That's why we don't have a true free market in this country.

Wal-Mart already changed its age limit to 21. Citibank just did the same.

They all SAID they’d do something. I’ll believe it when I see it. Dicks just had a horrendous quarter and today a higher up doubled down on gun control. Really stupid

Do you have any idea how many banks there are?  Do you have any idea how many places you can buy guns?

This is chicken-little bullshit.  And I have zero issue with a private business deciding this for themselves.  I wouldn't care if Walmart decided not to sell any guns at all.

As I said, so it begins. Look for more banks to follow.

Doubtful. Most companies like to make money

And Dicks lied. They still sell AR 10s and 6.5 creedmors. 

Apparently some of the Stoneman students aren't happy with new policies requiring clear backpacks and wearing their student IDs. One asked "why are we all being punished for the actions of one individual"? Great question. With that level of hypocrisy, I see a long future for this student as a member of Congress.

Lol complained about bookbags and IDs while wanting to limit the freedoms of an entire country. Those students are idiots and are why 16 year olds can’t vote. 

I don't care what Dick's, Walmart or big-name places such as that do. I've bought all of my guns from local outfitters.

Agreed. I don't care what Dick's (and Field & Stream) sell or don't sell. I did decide I wouldn't spend any money in their stores after their pathetic plea for congress to institute an assault weapons ban. As for banks, at the very least I doubt USAA stops doing business with gun retailers.

No kidding. I'm sure plenty of banks/ CC companies would love to get the cash from gun makers. Not everyone is a pussy that gives into demands of morons.

They are friggin’ kids. Their school was shot up less than a month ago and a bunch of their classmates were killed. Can we not allow them the space to work out their fear and frustration - perhaps even in poorly thought out arguments as high school kids are want to give - without considering them “idiots”?  I doubt if any of the condemners ever experienced something like that when they were that age. Give them a break.

Most of the on-line student comments appear to be along the same line as "why don't they enact common-sense gun legislation instead of making us feel like we're in prison?".

Since none of the "common-sense" proposals would have prevented the shooting, your second sentence becomes very telling, indeed.  I would have foregone "idiots" in favor of "lacking an adult perspective", but the point is still valid

No. If they want to go on CNN and pimp themselves out, they get called what they are. That Hogg kid is a moron. Idiot isn't even a strong enough word. Work out your "fear and frustration" on your own if you don't want to be judged. AND some people started talking about letting these "friggin kids" vote because they agreed with the liberal agenda. It's a farce. These kids are doing what they are doing for personal gain, not because they give one shit about the kids they never met who got killed.

I feel bad for the kids being led by Everytown and similar groups of idiots without realizing that they're being played. I feel less bad for the attention whores among them standing on the bodies of dead classmates to get on TV and magazine covers.
