A recent poll finds l80% of voters don't support banks shutting down accounts of customers who use their money to purchase guns.

The poll was conducted by the Napolitan News Service, and only 12% of voters surveyed said banks should have the authority to shut down accounts of those who purchase guns. 

This is a practice called "debanking."

Sixteen U.S. Attorney Generals sued the Wells Fargo bank earlier this year for closing the account of an individual who was a gun manufacturer.

House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, said earlier this week that the federal government has been weaponized to spy on Americans' bank accounts and financial transactions. 

Last year, the House GOP launched an investigation into Bank of America following a whistleblower testimony claiming the firm voluntarily shared the private financial data of its customers with the FBI without any legal process.
