Bank of America to gun company: Find another bank

[Ian David]

I apologize for the link to a right-wing news site, but those seem to be the only places that are discussing this...

Bank of America to gun company: Find another bank

McMillan Fiberglass Stocks, McMillan Firearms Manufacturing and McMillan Group International have been collectively banking with Bank of America for 12 years. But no more: In a recent meeting, the mega-bank told the firearms company that its business is no longer welcome.

Operations director Kelly McMillan told the Daily Caller that his company has never been late on a payment and has never bounced a check. The debt outstanding on its line of credit is at 61 percent.

But at the bank’s request, he said, the McMillan group of companies would soon be paying off its credit line and closing its accounts.

<snip>

“At this point I interrupted him,” McMillan said, 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 what my business.’”

Fox’s reply, according to McMillan? “That is correct.”

Boycott Bank of America: They hate the Second Amendment.

I have defended banks in the past, I don't care how much they pay their presidents, I'm not a jealous man.
However, I have just learned that Bank of America told a gun company to find another bank.

1. Thank you BOA

help confuse the GOP. IF they can't rely on big business to share their values, who do they have left

[gejohnston]

2. I'm guessing the banksters

finally read the history of the French Revolution (like the part about regressive taxes) and said "Oh shit".
So I'm guessing BoA will join Bushes bogus "terror watch list" as no longer regressive horse shit because now we like it.

[BiggJawn]

3. So now...

All the "Tru-Blu DU Lib'rals" who closed their BoA accounts over their various shenanigans in the housing fiasco and their support of the GOP will run back to them, crying for joy and doing the happy dance...

Pay-Pal won't allow you to have an account if you deal in firearms, parts or supplies, either.

[burf]

7. And they lived happily ever after..............

[2pooped2pop]

11. no. BoA will forever be on my fuck you list

as long as we both shall live. there is nothing they could ever do to change that.

[gejohnston]

12. We agree on something

I just have an extra reason in addition to their criminality and greed.

[BiggJawn]

16. Common ground!

I *KNEW* there had to be something!

[slackmaster]

26. Same here. I regard BOA as one of the world's largest criminal organizations

And I'm not being hyperbolic.

[Clames]

4. McMillan makes great products.

They'll certainly have no problem finding another, more deserving bank to do business with.

[gejohnston]

5. perferablly a local

credit union.

[shadowrider]

6. And McMillian is refusing to honor BOA credit cards on purchases.

Hey, don't get me wrong, BOA is free to do what they want. Unintended consequences may come back to haunt them.

[tularetom]

8. Hey Ted Nugent, you gonna let them get by with that?

[gejohnston]

9. Nawwwwwwwwwww Ted likes the

bankster CEO too much.

[MindMover]

10. A Speck of Good in a World of Villainy......

[krispos42]

13. ...and liberals and conservatives both paused, thinking "who the fuck do I root for now?"

[ileus]

14. BOA proving why they're the worst bank in America.

[mvccd1000]

15. Strange...

... the last time I actually had occasion to physically visit my B of A branch (which has probably a year or more), they had no problem with my openly carried pistol.

So far, I've not had any issues with them in the 15 years I've been a depositor. Love the free online bill pay; it's been a lifesaver when I work out of the country with unreliable mail delivery.

[gejohnston]

17. This is still my favorite BoA story

[rl6214]

21. Priceless

[PavePusher]

18. It's good to know that BoA is doing so well they can afford to cut their customer base.

I will remember that they don't need my business.

[Hoyt]

20. Would love to see more of this. People making money off guns should be viewed as corrupt and greedy

[rl6214]

22. Typical hoyt, stand up for the big banks

stand against the private business.

[Hoyt]

24. Gun trafficking -- legal or illegal -- is not a small business.

[rl6214]

27. Gun trafficing?

I suppose you call a drug trafficer a pharmacists.

[Hoyt]

28. Pharmacists try to help people and are good for society. Gun traffickers/stores/manufacturers and

those who buy too many and certain types of guns, not so much.

[gejohnston]

29. yeah all that meth is really good for society

and the way drug traffickers deal with business disputes and HR is so civilized.

[rl6214]

30. So you are saying a drug trafficer is good for society?

Nice to know you think that.

[Hoyt]

31. God you guys sure can be dense.

[rl6214]

43. Nothing dense

You did not deny that you thought drug dealers were like pharmacists and then said pharmacists were good for society which leads us to the conclusion that you think drug dealers are good for society. Pretty simple.

[Remmah2]

35. only the undocumented pharmacist.

[Remmah2]

32. Did George Zimmerman have a BOA CC?

Credit card?

[Hoyt]

33. Probably not. Those with his background are probably a bad credit risk.

[Remmah2]

34. "his background"

Are you saying persons with a mixed ethnic background are a credit risk?

For shame.

[Hoyt]

36. No, I'm saying spousal abuse and stuff like that. Does that make things clear to you.

Again, if you are not discerning, I would hope you do not carry a gun in public.

[Remmah2]

37. That's clearly not what you said. nt

nt

[Hoyt]

38. Clearly is. That's his background-- violence, restraining orders, guns, police wannabe, etc.

Would you lend money to someone like that?

[Remmah2]

40. Interesting...............

How did he pass a background check for a firearm if he had a restraining order against him? Isn't that a federal crime?

Most importantly I'd want to know the truth.

[Hoyt]

41. You will find that the background checks are flawed in a number of ways.

I'll bet my rear, Zimmerman could buy a gun right now and probably get a permit.

[gejohnston]

42. no he couldn't

and he won't pass a background check.

[rl6214]

44. Would be funny watching you walk around without a rear

Good think you don't live in Vegas or you would probably lose your double wide gambling.

[ileus]

23. Fuck you BOA

I tried a few years back to remove myself from these bastards...I refinanced my home, and they ended right back up with them.


All well....we all have to deal with gun grabbers on occasion.

[Union Scribe]

39. Hypocritical bankster crooks

Maybe now even the banksters' defenders like that libertarian moran will get it. Or not. Either way, fuck BOA.
