I wouldn't use Wells Fargo for a loan or any other banking need. They are as corrupt a bank as you can choose. Constantly doing fraudulent acts against customers.

I say let the market decide. There are alternatives to Wells Fargo.

I’m in credit card processing and I’ve had multiple firearms related companies contact me because they were shut down by Wells Fargo, who was the sponsor bank for their credit card processing company.

Thankfully, I have other banks that are happy to work with firearms stores, both online and retail.

It’s ridiculous that store owners, most of whom have had less than 10 chargebacks in 10 years, who pump billions of dollars through these companies and make them millions in fees, get shutdown for the sin of being not PC enough.

We have already kind of been through this mess before. Red lining people who really couldn't afford to buy a house because they were not able pay back the loan. Most turned out to be black. The were not turned down because of skin color but because they just didn't have good credit. I believe it was during the Clinton Administration. It finely lead to the housing / banking crisis. So the Freddy may and Freddy mack. They bundled the loans and made mortgage backed securities and then sold them to banks. The

banks started sinking like rocks. So all of the banks were gathered together and given money weather they wanted it or not. Wells Fargo was one of the banks nearly sank after eating that poison pill.

See Wikipedia Freddie mack. I have forgotten a lot what happened. The Federal Government has no buisness of loaning money. See Student lones. Dan

We need some updates to our civil rights acts that prevents public corporations, and any business that provides products or services considered essential, from infringing on any Constitutional rights. This should not be considered a "freedom" issue, as these are our God-given rights as protected by the Constitution. These rights would come into conflict at times as they generally do. For example, the right of the baker to refuse to make a cake for a gay couple's wedding. However, cakes are not essential and there are plenty of other bakers willing to make a gay wedding cake.

Unless Wells Fargo, a provider of essential services, can make a business-financial case for why it rejects doing business with gun manufacturers, it is guilty of infringing 2nd Amendment rights.

Would this be a constitutional issue for banks who engage in this practice ? It would seem to be a violation of the commerce clause?

If this continues, conservatives will have little choice, but to start up their own banks and potentially banking system. This isn't just about guns...

A number of different banks have been invaded with the ONE WORLD GOV. people that have been put on their board of directors and are pushing the banks to do "as I say or else" attitude. THis is just another thing pointing to the ONE WORLD GOV. that is now controlling the US with biden as president.
