I'm glad to see this but it's still barely a rounding error out of the almost $4 trillion muni bond market. NY and CA unfortunately wield a ton more clout here.

I’d like to see more if that along with law suits for anything they can think of. Civil rights violations, equal protection.....

Now if he can get some other states to join in it might have an impact

Still, the man and the effort deserve credit and I hope he will inspire others to grow a pair as well.

I say well done, sir.

The Louisiana Bond market is hardly a financial deal breaker for those banks. Even if every pro gun municipality dropped these behemoths from bond talks, they’d just do business with folks overseas. I doubt the municipal governments in Europe oppose an anti gun corporate stance.

Nothing will change anyway, besides the ability of municipalities to fund necessary capital improvement projects. If you’re going to protest, make sure the protest is effective.

Putting your (taxpayers) money where your mouth is can sometimes inspire others.

This is not my logic when I vote libertarian.
