John Kennedy of Louisiana demanded an explanation from Federal Reserve Vice Chair for Supervision Michelle Bowman about why the agency allowed banks to close the accounts of conservatives and firearms manufacturers during the Senate Banking Committee\u2019s February 2026\u00a0hearing\u00a0on \u201crightsizing regulation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat in God\u2019s name was the Fed and some of your other agencies thinking when you allowed banks to debank customers for reputational risk? Are you kidding me? Why did you allow that to happen?\u201d a visibly angry Kennedy asked Bowman.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNSSF has been pushing back on antigun activism, particularly illegal banking discrimination, that sought to throttle access to banking services and capital by members of the firearm industry,\u201d National Shooting Sports Foundation Managing Director of Public Affairs Mark Oliva told the DCNF. \u201cThe Trump administration, through the Treasury Department\u2019s Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), has been particularly focused on ending this illegal and discriminatory practice. The OCC published a \u00a0codifying the elimination of \u2018reputational risk\u2019 from their supervisory programs. That essentially put the final nail in the coffin of the \u2018woke\u2019 discrimination waged against firearm and ammunition businesses corporate banks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/hometransferguide.com\/?p=3058\">Marcellus Wiley Denies Wife\u2019s Rape Allegations Amid Messy Divorce<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/10519169\/dailycaller_incontent_3 --> <\/p>\n<p>The Obama administration\u00a0launched\u00a0\u201cOperation Chokepoint,\u201d which used the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to pressure banks to deny companies in the firearms industry financial services. While the first Trump administration\u00a0halted\u00a0the practice, some\u00a0financial institutions\u00a0continued to pressure companies in the firearms industries to adopt certain practices or face the closure of their accounts for years afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe OCC\u00a0explained\u00a0that the\u00a0\u00a0defines \u2018reputational risk\u2019 and prohibits the OCC and FDIC from criticizing or taking adverse action against an institution on the basis of reputation risk,\u201d Oliva told the DCNF. \u201cThe rule also prohibits the agencies from requiring, instructing or encouraging an institution to close customer accounts or take other actions on the basis of a person or entity\u2019s political, social, cultural or religious views or beliefs, constitutionally protected speech or solely on the basis of politically disfavored but lawful business activities perceived to present reputation risk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome of the corporate banking giants have publicly acknowledged that their banking policies regarding the firearm industry have changed,\u201d Oliva continued. \u201cJPMorgan Chase\u00a0announced earlier this year\u00a0that their policy of denying services to the firearm industry was over. Likewise,\u00a0Bank of America\u00a0and\u00a0Citigroup\u00a0also shifted their policies to adhere to regulations codifying that banking services could not be denied under ill-defined \u2018reputational risk\u2019 definition.\u201d <strong>(RELATED: Blue States\u2019 Gun-Banning Spree Is Boomeranging Back On Them)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Oliva also noted that NSSF was pursuing legislation to codify the OCC\u2019s rule into law and to secure passage of the Firearm Industry Nondiscrimination (FIND) Act and the Fair Access to Banking Act to prevent the debanking of firearms manufacturers.<\/p>\n<p>The Supreme Court accepted two Second Amendment cases involving bans on modern semiautomatic firearms imposed by Cook County, Illinois, (which includes Chicago) and Connecticut by \u00a0writs of certiorari in Viramontes v.
