B of A vs 2nd Amendment

[shastaboat]

McMillan Mfg in Phoenix, Arizona, was contacted by Bank of America and informed that they will no longer be allowed to use their services ( Bank of America ) because they are in the firearms business and support the second amendment.

I am fine with you re-posting it. . . . . . . . Thank for your support.

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 (Bank of America) 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 important 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 incredible…checked their website and they proudly proclaim they are now doing business with a regional bank in Arizona…

Firearms issues aside, remember that Bank of America, through their acquisition of Countrywide Home Loans, was the largest provider of sub-prime loans. In the drug world you would call that a Pusher. We all know how the sub-prime mortgage market enriched everyone's lives. Before that, BOA was very boastful about allowing undocumented "visitors" to open accounts with them, simultaneously thumbing their nose at certain provisions of the Patriot Act. BOA tried to implement excessive fees for ATM transactions until the public bit back. So given all that, why would you want to do business with BOA in the first place? The firearms issue is simply icing on the cake. My apologies to the OP and the Moderators for straying somewhat off topic but I think in this case it is relevant.

We discussed this pretty thoroughly in April when it happened.
