.40carry Posted March 27, 2018 at 02:29 PM Share Posted March 27, 2018 at 02:29 PM So if I had a BOA debit card, they could legally prevent me from using my own hard earned cash to buy a product I desire? What’s next - tell me the brand of toilet paper that is acceptable to buy with my own money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagoresident Posted March 27, 2018 at 02:33 PM Share Posted March 27, 2018 at 02:33 PM Time to switch to a credit union. Way more benefits then a big chain bank.

Quiet Observer Posted March 27, 2018 at 03:33 PM Share Posted March 27, 2018 at 03:33 PM Bank of America would be addressing the manufacturers and merchant accounts, not consumers directly. Of course it would have eventually affect us, if manufacturers and merchants have difficulty getting credit. "[A]n immediate step we’re taking is to engage the limited number of clients we have that manufacture assault weapons for non-military use to understand what they can contribute to this shared responsibility," the statement read, according to Reuters. Bank of America did not release the names of its gun manufacturing clients nor did it elaborate on its plan to hold gun makers accountable. But the Charlotte, North Carolina-based banking giant was the latest high-profile company to announce a strategy since the tragedy at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida". http://www.ibtimes.com/bank-america-engage-gun-manufactures-assault-weapons-2657310 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobPistol Posted March 28, 2018 at 12:00 AM Share Posted March 28, 2018 at 12:00 AM Surprise! They don't define what an "assault weapon" is. Typical LWW-ism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybermgk Posted March 28, 2018 at 12:38 AM Share Posted March 28, 2018 at 12:38 AM Sent the following to BOA's CEO via email Sir, Do not buckle under the irrational screaming of the minority I speak of the Change.org petition to have you and your company to "not process transactions from merchants that sell Assault Weapons.", and any other like it. I won't even go into the ludicrousness of this anti 'assault weapons' fervor by this minority, in depth. I will simply say that they are nothing more than a simple, semi-automatic rifle in function. No real difference from any other simple semi-automatic rifle or shotgun. The AR15 actually typically uses a round meant for varmint hunting, i.e. not that powerful really, contrary to the lies propagated by the Mainstream Media and anti gun groups. I will also say that the AR15, only one such 'assault' rifle, is the most popular rifle sold in America, specially to women who find them ideal for their smaller size for home defense. So that ONE rifle model is the most popular gun of over 350 million in the US. The number of households with firearms is rising. This rate of increase has jumped of late. That is a LOT of customer base, 100s of millions to alienate, simply to send up a virtue flare for these screaming children and extremists. And, that is all it would be, a virtue flare. It will solve nothing, help nothing. Rifles of all kinds are involved in under 400 deaths a year, compared to more than twice that from knives, and 4000 teen deaths a year caused by texting while driving (which doesn't count adults they take with them. The vast majority of gun related deaths are from handguns, and the majority of those were suicides. All, of which are declining while gun ownership rises. The 94 AWB didn't solve anything, nor help, as all legitimate studies show (that don't manipulate sample times and sizes until it fits their anti gun agenda). Even the most antigun analysis puts the number at 500,000 law abiding gun owners have used their firearms to fend off bad guys. The number could be as much as 2.5 million. Stand-up against this trend of screeching minorities, with the MSM falsely amplifying their size and impact, trying to attack our fundamental, Constitutional rights. Instead stand with the 100s of millions of law abiding gun owners, and take the business fleeing Citigroup for their stupidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybermgk Posted March 28, 2018 at 01:17 AM Share Posted March 28, 2018 at 01:17 AM BOA should also look at what Citi's stock did after their announcement. It sharply dropped, and has been since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
