The Nazi gun control theory is counterfactual history, which is a form of history that attempts to answer "what if" questions known as counterfactuals.[1] According to this theory, the gun regulations enforced by the Third Reich rendered victims of the Holocaust weaker to such an extent that they could have more effectively resisted oppression if they had been armed or better armed.

This theory is prevalent and primarily used within U.S. gun politics. Questions about its validity, and about the motives behind its inception, have been raised by scholars. Proponents in the United States have used it as part of a "security against tyranny" argument, while opponents have referred to it as a form of Reductio ad Hitlerum.[2] Various mainstream sources describe the theory as historically "dubious",[3] "questionable",[4] "preposterous,"[5] "tendentious",[6] and "problematic".[1]

Citibank has hopped on the corporate virtue signaling bandwagon, announcing a set of oppressive anti-gun rules any businesses dealing with it must follow. They make a point of saying anyone who doesn't agree to let Citi set their gun sale policy can take a hike. I have my doubts that this policy is legal. Can a bank discriminate against customers over political issues? Could they refuse to do business with anyone who backed Trump?

Let's not forget, this is a bank operating under exacting federal regulations, and also a bank the taxpayers bailed out not that long ago. Their freedom to impose social policies on customers should be severely limited.

If this is legal, Trump could easily issue regulations barring it. Since he has now dropped the NRA like he did Stormy Daniels, I'm not holding my breath.

Citigroup announced Thursday it’s implementing restrictions on client firearm sales, making it the first major bank to impose such gun control measures.

In an email to employees provided to Infowars, Citigroup Chief Executive Officer Mike Corbat detailed new policies applying to “small business, commercial and institutional clients, as well as credit card partners.”

The policy is ostensibly “designed to respect the rights of responsible gun owners while helping keep firearms out of the wrong hands.”

Citi’s new “US Commercial Firearms Policy” requires firearms only be sold to people age 21 or older, that gun purchasers pass a background check, and restricts sales of bump stocks or “high-capacity magazines.”

If retail clients refuse to enact Citi’s “best practices over the coming months,” they are free to part ways with the bank, Corbat wrote.
“If they opt not to, we will respect their decision and work with them to transition their business away from Citi,” reads the email to employees.

Additionally, potential clients would be screened to ensure their businesses adhere to the new policy.

Corbat, who claims to be “an avid outdoorsman and responsible gun owner,” says the new restrictions are a great compromise for Second Amendment advocates and anti-gunners.

“We don’t have the perfect solution to supporting our Constitution while keeping our children and grandchildren safe,” he writes, adding, “But we shouldn’t let that stop us from doing our part.”

The bank’s announcement comes in the wake of a massive gun control push following a school shooting in Parkland, Florida that left 17 dead and several injured.

Meh... just add Citibank to the boycott list alongside Kelloggs, Target and Starbucks.

Boycotting is easy and satisfying.

Constitution hating leftists can lie and try to obfuscate all what they want but it's not a theory, that was James Madison's purpose for the Second Amendment, which is clear from the Federalist Papers. And that's all that matters.

Private business can make their own decisions about who they do business with. Government should have zero role in it.

Ohh forgot, we are dealing with the United States, a country that has abandoned the free market long ago.

Lets wait for Trump to make it right.
