Just an FYI, but Citibank, Bank of America, and now Intuit are all anti-gun and you should avoid doing business with them.

Credit service Intuit shuts down payments on all gun purchases

Judge Andrew Napolitano on Tuesday told FOX Business (https://www.foxbusiness.com/category/fox-business) that credit card processor Intuit (https://www.foxbusiness.com/category/technology) is within its rights to shut down payments on gun purchases.
A number of businesses were recently interrupted, without warning, after the company refused to process orders of gun-related sales, according to the New York Post (https://nypost.com/2018/06/11/gun-businesses-scrambling-after-credit-service-halts-payments/). The paper also reports that Intuit did not return several requests for comment.
Napolitano said, generally, customers can’t be refused due to race, age, gender or sexual orientation but can be rejected if they dislike their business.
“They can choose their customers, their clients unless that choice is based upon some protected aspects,” Napolitano told Stuart Varney on “Varney & Co. (https://www.foxbusiness.com/category/varney-and-co)”
Even though some of the sales didn’t involve firearms, businesses (https://www.foxbusiness.com/category/small-business) were forced to track down customers who they sold the items to because Intuit credited the money back to their accounts, the Post reported.
In Napolitano’s opinion, Intuit made a “terrible business decision.”
“They may very well have interfered with their customers’ businesses by not telling them ahead of time,” he added.
In the original article, we incorrectly noted Intuit owned Quicken products. Quicken has been an independent company since April 2016.
