Constitutional Law

More on Citibank

Story here. It terminated the account of a licensed firearms dealer, and is withholding $75,000 of it, and is giving conflicting, and rather foolish, explanations. First, the ground was that he was making illegal sales to persons in other states. NSSF pointed out that's perfectly lawful, so long as he ships to a licensed dealer in the other state, for pickup there (interstate *sale* is lawful, it's the *delivery* that is controlled). Then it says it has some sort of policy against non-face-to-face sales, but only in certain types of businesses. Which policy was probably invented after the first justification was proven wrong.

Hat tip to Jack Anderson....
