From the NSSF . . .
Tuesday February 15th, South Dakota Senate Bill 182 will be heard in Senate Commerce Committee. Before Tuesday, take a moment to reach out to your elected representatives in the legislature and to Governor Noem and let them know – financial industry discrimination against 2nd Amendment companies is real, and, South Dakota should push back.
Please respectfully contact your elected representatives Here: and Governor Kristi Noem here.
Following the committee hearing, on the 15th, join NSSF, our partners and the general public in the Capitol Rotunda for hunting and shooting sports and 2 Amendment day at the Capitol. From 9:00 am to 2:00 pm industry members like HS Precision, Stag Arms, Magpul, ONeill Ops and Silencer Central (along with partners like the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation) will host displays, activities and have giveaways in the Capitol Rotunda.
Senate Bill 182, “An Act to prohibit discriminatory actions against persons engaged in the firearms industry” – the South Dakota Firearm Industry Nondiscrimination (FIND) Act, asks that the State only contract with those financial service providers who commit to fairness in banking.
Please share this alert with your employees, your colleagues in the industry, and your social network. Please ask them to do the same.
Big Banks are spending unprecedented money to lobby against our fairness in financial service bills nationally. South Dakota is no exception. Our success depends on elected leaders hearing your voice. Reach out.
Please respectfully contact your elected representatives Here: and Governor Kristi Noem Here:
For years, NSSF members engaged in the lawful commerce of firearm and ammunition have experienced discrimination by financial institutions simply because of the type of business they are in. In these cases, the refusal to provide goods and services results in higher costs of doing business and increased prices for consumers who are simply exercising their Second Amendment Rights. Our members have faced discrimination from banks, internet search engines, payment processors, social media companies, insurance companies and others.
While the firearm industry respects the right of financial institutions and other service providers to make business decisions based on objective criteria, it is unacceptable to discriminate against businesses simply because they are engaged in the lawful commerce of firearms and ammunition, a heavily regulated activity protected by the Second Amendment.
Good luck South Dakota. I know four guys that go out there every fall to shoot Pheasant. I have a standby seat that has never paid off. I hear it’s nice.
That’s awesome! I hope to see more states follow, taking the teeth (kicking?) out of of the surreptitious gun control movement. The states are leading the way!
Nice, but just virtue-signalling bullshit.
Of perhaps more interest to TTAG’ers, there’s this from the Zero Hedge:
“GiveSendGo Hacked, Donor List To $8.6 Million Freedom Convoy Exposed”
“ATTENTION GIVESENDGO GRIFTERS AND HATRIOTS” begins the screed.
“The Canadian government has informed you that the money you assholes raised to fund an insurrection is frozen
TD bank has frozen several accounts
You helped fund the January 6 insurrection in the US
You helped fund an insurrection in Ottawa
In fact, you are committed to funding anything that keeps the raging fire of misinformation going until that it burns the world’s collective democracies down.”
[Hackers now love democracies and not fighting the man, apparently.]
“On behalf of the sane people worldwide who wish to continue living in a democracy, I am now telling you that GIVESENDGO itself is frozen.”
The manifesto then attacks the “convoy of trucks to protest vaccine requirements,” suggesting that the leaders of the protests are “known extremists who publicly stated that they want to overthrow the government,” and “held a city hostage for weeks while terrorizing the peaceful citizens who live there.”

Can’t you just feel the love and acceptance of others not like themselves these ‘people’ have?
Almost makes one wish bad things (like terminal cancer) would happen to such scum…
Terminal butt cancer.
Yeah and I’m SURE those hackers weren’t on a Soros or Democrap superpac payroll. Honestly the people behind these things must really want the shooting to start. The next step will be targeted political assassinations. Everyone in power would do well to do some research on bleeding Kansas, The Troubles in Ireland, and the Balkans. This is not a good road to walk down, since reprisals become more certain with every action.
“Nice, but just virtue-signalling bullshit.”
Your posting doesn’t demonstrate how… Texas has done a similar move and I believeFlorida is looking into it as well. Took the wind out of their (“big banks”) sails in TX.
You should be so lucky to live in a free state like SD or IA. Please stay where you are, K?
Descrimination? It’s just a democRat Party Jim Crow Gun Control family tradition.
THANK GOD FROZE , TD BANK FREEZE ACCOUNTS ON TRUCKERS WONDER WHERE MY AMMO ORDER BEEN SITTING ON THE FRIGIN BRIDGE , STUPID BS TRUCKERS , OOO GOTA GET A VAC , OR WEAR A MASK BOO BOO HOOO . I GOT MINE NO BIG DEAL ,I KNOW MOTHER NATURE RULES . STAY SAFE Y’ALL .
Excellent, big government telling the private banks with they can do with their money, authoritarian step number 19.
Next step, controlling individuals’ bank accounts, controlling how they spend and invest their money is next.
Good work, comrades!
Of course, Minor, the govenrment doesn’t make you do business with any bank or force you to keep money or an account there…
If I were you, I’d just keep what I’ve got in my mattress and never leave home.
