Bank of America & our 2nd Amendment Rights

[jbcalhoun]

I copied the below from one of the boards I frequently visit, benchrest.com.
I for one, do not have a BoA credit card, but I do have several thousand dollars in stock, I will be getting rid of.
I try not to support the businesses that don't support our right to bear arms.
Many of you are familiar with McMillan Stocks and the other fine equipment and firearms they produce.

If this is posted in the wrong section, I hope it will be moved to the proper location for our members to view.

Thanks

Brad

[h=2]Bank of America[/h]

McMillan Fiberglass Stocks, McMillan Firearms Manufacturing, McMillan Group
International have been collectively banking with Bank of America for 12
years. Today Mr. Ray Fox, Senior Vice President, Market Manager, Business
Banking, Global Commercial Banking came to my office. He scheduled the
meeting as an "account analysis" meeting in order to evaluate the two lines
of credit we have with them.... He spent 5 minutes talking about how
McMillan has changed in the last 5 years and have become more of a firearms
manufacturer than a supplier of accessories.
At this point I interrupted him and asked "Can I possibly save you some time
so that you don't waste your breath? What you are going to tell me is that
because we are in the firearms manufacturing business you no longer want my
business."
"That is correct" he says.
I replied "That is okay, we will move our accounts as soon as possible. We
can find a 2nd Amendment friendly bank that will be glad to have our
business. You won't mind if I tell the NRA, SCI and everyone one I know that
BofA is not firearms industry friendly?"
"You have to do what you must" he said.
"So you are telling me this is a politically motivated decision, is that
right?"
Mr Fox confirmed that it was. At which point I told him that the meeting was
over and there was nothing left for him to say.
I think it is import for all Americans who believe in and support our 2nd
amendment right to keep and bear arms should know when a business does not
support these rights. What you do with that knowledge is up to you. When I
don't agree with a business' political position I cannot in good conscience
support them. We will soon no longer be accepting Bank of America credit
cards as payment for our products.

This is shameful. Glad I don't bank with them.

 

[RetArmySgt]

I stopped doing business with them years ago after they stole 3 grand from my account and wouldnt return it until after i got a lawyer involved.

 

[Glockster69]

Shameful yes, surprising no. The housing loans approved by Feds are substantially more important to them.

McMillan is absolutely right for taking their business away from BoA. I wish them success ten fold after the move.
However they are wrong for not accepting BoA credit cards because of this:

"What you do with that knowledge is up to you."

Agreed. But then again it is business and he can refuse pink credit cards if he wants to. But that might be bad for his business is all I'm saying.

Wow, you would think they would at least try to make up some other bs reason instead of just coming out and admitting that's why they didn't want their business.

 

[Flewda]

To keep it vague and clear of any "accusations" - my wife used to work for BofA for a while, and needless to say we closed all our accounts with them and moved to a credit union. This is clearly disgusting. Perhaps they should get someone other than Jack Bauer to do their commercials then. Sarah Silverman sounds like a good contender. Maybe Jesse Jackson?

 

[jamesmrj]

I've never banked with them myself, but I have taken issue with them since they were giving out credit cards without demanding a social security number a few years ago. No idea if that practice is still in place.

Thanks for posting this. We have to start being active with these leftists. They are organized and they are wrecking this country. Posting this and getting people to boycott is the way we fight back.

Same goes for Google, who will not allow firearms related businesses to use adsense.

F*ck BOA, and f*ck google.

There are alternatives, such as scrooge, or qrobe.it Google cookies very rarely make it on to my machine, and are quickly removed when they do. I don't use any of their services.

If you value your privacy that's another reason not to use google.

I bank with wells Fargo.
They have guns on their logo.

 

[SWJewellTN]

It's all over the web with others saying McMillian has confirmed its validity. I guess I'm changing banks.

Chase Banks are gun friendly.....

 

[kusai]

Guys you are going to face this with almost any nationalized banks. National banks are regulated by Fed and have more strict regulations than state laws. So yes always go with local credit union or state banks. I had my business with chase and had 6 digit monthly transactions but they never gave me a petty $500 credit, I simply moved away.

 

[mroper]

BofA are unethical jerks.they act like it is their money and are doing you a favor by letting you access it. Go with a credit union. fees are lower

 

[Orbie]

My mortgage is through them. I don't won't it to be through them anymore. Somehow they gave us a better rate than RBFCU, SSFCU, and USAA.

Time to shop...

 

[grasshopperglock]

Seeing how they don't like guns.

If one of there branches get robbed. Maybe the police will show up with sling shots? The security guards can carry pieces of pvc pipe to ward off the bad guys???

Now we know where mr obama banks.

 

[shooterfpga]

navy federal and usaa have done me good. i been with bofa, wells fargo, washington mutual or whatever chase was called before. i guess navyfed/usaa have to be at the top of their customer service game, seein as they dont have too many physical locations, but thats fine with me, i prefer better cs.

 

[macshooter]

Sent to The Blaze, Drudge, Daily Caller, and Breitbart. If others do the same, this thing can really pick up some steam. If it gets out on one of those sites, BoA is gonna feel penetrated by the gun community.

 

[stdreb27]

Anyone verify this?

 

[Mr. Bojangles]

I posted it on another gun forum and I'll be sure to let all my gun owning friends know.
