Republicans, owned by the NRA, threaten banks for trying to reduce gun violence
Republican Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana, who is on the Senate Banking Committee, immediately laid down the law, bank contributions to his own party notwithstanding:
Mr. Kennedy said he planned to
file complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
against banks that are effectively restricting gun sales by setting their own rules on legal products and refusing to do business with gun makers and retailers that do not comply. He is also working to get Republican colleagues to join him in writing legislation to stop banks from discriminating against gun buyers.
The twisted irony of
using the CFPB as a tool to encourage the unchecked spread of automatic and semi-automatic weapons
notwithstanding, Mr. Kennedy’s knee-jerk reaction to the banks’ attempts to impose curbs on gun violence is emblematic of the reaction of Republicans throughout the entire Congress:
Senator Michael D. Crapo, the Idaho Republican who heads the banking committee, sent blistering letters in late April to the top executives at Citigroup and Bank of America,
accusing them of using their market power to manage social policy.
He told them not to go any further and warned them against developing ways to monitor gun transactions through their payments systems...[.]
Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, whose state suffered the most recent high-casualty massacre at the Santa Fe High School near Houston, has also weighed in to carry the NRA’s water against the efforts of these banks.
Other Republicans, egged on by the NRA and the gun manufacturers, have even
issued blackmail-style threats against those financial groups taking a stand against gun violence:The NRA, for its part, has issued
At a meeting with the Securities and Exchange Commission this month, a departing Republican commissioner, Michael Piwowar,
assailed Citigroup executives over the bank’s gun policies.
Mr. Piwowar, according to Bloomberg News, warned that
the bank could struggle to get Republican support on the commission for easing derivatives regulations.
blistering statements against the banks that include intentional whiffs of anti-semitism, accusing “financial elites” (a.k.a. Jews)
of attempting to make policy as opposed to “citizens and elected officials.”
Phony astro-turf organizations of the firearms industry such as “Gun Owners of America” orchestrated fake “grassroots” campaigns last month urging Republican Congressmen not to vote for the repeal of Dodd-Frank regulations which have up to this point constrained, in part, the activities of major banks and financial ins utions. It’s almost amusing to see the
far-right NRA urging Republicans to vote with Elizabeth Warren as a way to “punish” the banks.

Rep. Diane Black: Porn 'Root Cause' of School Shootings

Gun business more important than school kids' (or anybody's) lives.
2nd Amendment?
The NRA just erased lawmaker ratings from their website, but they're not saying why
The NRA "ratings" for lawmakers, giving them letter grades for their willingness to block new gun restrictions and weaken existing ones, had vanished without explanation.
The nation's largest domestic terrorism lobby is clamming up about the change, but the Washington Post’s Phillip Bump was able to pry the barest hint of information from an unnamed NRA staffer when he called for an explanation.
“I think our enemies were using that,” he said. He did not give his name.
Bump’s queries to the NRA spokeswoman who ought to be answering the question, however, were more comical:
First Jennifer Baker insisted no change had been made,
then that the ratings were "not relevant" after the elections anyway, and
then simply stopped responding.
the NRA's ratings of lawmakers were pulled for a reason.

Mitch McConnell: There’s Not Much The Federal Government Can Do About School Shootings
“It’s a darn shame that’s where we are, but this epidemic is something that’s got all of our attention,” he said.
“You would think,
given how much it takes to get on an American plane or given how much it takes to get into courthouses,
that this might be something that we could achieve,
but I don’t think we could do that from Washington,
I think it’s basically a local decision,” he said.

DHS Will Stop School Shootings By Teaching Kids Bleeding Is FUNdamental!
Homeland Security, in a move that ought to make Rick Santorum proud, will be
awarding a $1.8 million grant to teach high school kids how to control massive bleeding.
As part of overall first-aid training like CPR, it's not a horrible idea.
We're just not sure the My First Sucking Chest Wound textbooks are age appropriate.
A notice filed on the DHS website last month says the goal of the "School-Age Trauma Training" grant is
to "enhance a bystander's ability to take decisive, lifesaving action to assist victims with traumatic injuries."
And heavens, no, it's not ONLY for school shootings,
but you can see how that would be one situation where teens might get a chance to use their bleed-out prevention training:https://www.wonkette.com/dhs-will-st...ental-training
"Similar to how students learn health education and driver's education,
they must learn proper bleeding control techniques using commonly available materials,''
according to the notice,
"including how to use their hands, dressings and tourniquets."
