Sixteen Republican congressmen are asking the General Services Administration (GSA) to reevaluate a $700 billion contract with Citibank as a result of the the financial institution's "anti-Second Amendment policies."

The congressmen, led by Indiana Rep. Todd Rokita, sent a letter to GSA Administrator Emily Murphy on Wednesday, asking her to terminate the contract in response to Citibank's March announcement restricting its clients participation in gun sales.

"In 2017, the General Services Administration (GSA) awarded Citibank a contract of more than $700 billion to partially implement the federal charge card program, SmartPay 3," the congressmen wrote in the letter.

"Because of Citibank’s new guidelines targeting customers wishing to exercise their legal Second Amendment rights, we urge you to cancel Citibank's participation in the SmartPay 3 contract, and award it to a company that does not unfairly restrict a customer's constitutional rights," it reads.

"This flagrant attempt to undermine our fundamental rights by caving to radicals should not be endorsed by our federal government," the congressmen added. "The federal government should instead do business with companies that respect all of our constitutional rights, including the Second Amendment. GSA should take all necessary steps to review and terminate its contract with Citibank unless they rescind their guidelines, and rebid the SmartPay 3 contract."
