Bank of America

[phillaf]

Wasn't sure where to post this, but here it is. Saw on the news that Bank of America invited one of their customers to take their business elsewhere because they were a gun manufacturer (missed their name...) and the bank was "uncomfortable" with that. Think I'll do the same...
Just wanted to pass that on.

It was McMillan that they asked to leave.

Citibank refused to process CC payments to firearm dealers a number of years ago. These are the same bitches we bailed out.

Too big to fail, too big for ther britches.

[bwaites]

I bailed on BoA years ago for similar issues. Definitely not this Americans bank!

[txgunner00]

I dumped mine early this year. I hope they fail and get busted up.

Yes, I saw it on Fox News. And of course the administration has nothing to do with this. I made sure everyone on my email list had the info and a link. Seems if they can not get rid of the second amendment, make it next to impossible to do business or get ammunition and components. And of course outlaw lead in bullets and sinkers.

BOA did the same to CDNN Investments a few years back. It was all some self-important wench at BOA getting excited about CDNN making interstate sales; no kidding, that's kind of their business.
Dave Ramsey often recommends dumping any big bank, and always brings it up when a caller says that they are BOA customers.
My local bank was one of the sponsors at our county's NRA dinner a few years back.

Same here, forwarded widely.

Currently reading book "The Creature from Jekyll Island" about the Federal Reserve and our monetary system. So, yeah, don't get me started on the banks. . . .

I read that book in 1999-should be required reading. The biggest points I took away were how the old European global powers used the United States as a vehicle to continue their wealth, but were almost put out of business by free enterprise and the savings and loan industry with smaller banks that grew South and West throughout the US. In 1890, I believe the book states that a few of the European banks and their frontmen in the US accounted for 85% of people's money in their accounts. By 1910, that number had nose-dived to 50%, with the trend appearing to be terminal if they didn't do something quick.

Since the bigger banks were loaning radically, with very little reserves in the vaults, they were enjoying profits from those risky, radical loans, and they didn't want to quit the practice. What did they do? Create the biggest fraud of a scheme in the history of mankind: Get the US Congress to go-in with them on changing who prints the money supply, from US Treasury Notes issued by our Government, to a private supply of notes printed by them, which would then be loaned to the Treasury, then paid off by Congress with a newly-passed Federal Income Tax levied on the sap populace.

The control of our right to print our own currency was literally handed over to foreign bankers, who put together a board of directors who have a frontman for the public to see and hear from occasionally: The Federal Reserve Chairman, representing the financial interests of these European powers. It was Paul Warburg from Kuhn, Loeb & Co. (the same bank that gave millions to Lenin to claim the victor of the Bolshevik Revolution against Czarist Russia, issuing in the most demonic comminist regime known until the ChiComs) who coined the term, "Federal Reserve". He said they needed to fool the idiot populace into believing that this institution had only 2 elements, since people couldn't really think past the idea of more than 2 concepts when it comes to money:

1) The name of the institution must trick the fools into believing that it has the full backing of the FEDERAL gubm't, and he suggested it include the word "FEDERAL", and
2) It should deceive the masses of morons into thinking that there were vast reserves of currency to back the nation's money supply, suggesting the word "RESERVE".

This plan initially failed, as Senator Aldrich insisted on naming the legislation after himself. It was seen as a suspicious alliance between the Senior Republican Whip (Aldrich), connected to banking. When that failed, the consiglieres for the banksters suggested proposing the exact same legislation again, only advertising against it this time in their papers as a bill that would help protect the people from greedy, evil bankers!

It worked, and in 1913, President Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act into law, forever condemning America to the cage of a foreign alliance of banksters controlling our money supply.

Right now the banks "borrow" money from the Fed at 25 basis points (.25%) who turn arround and deposite it with the treasury at 3.5%. This is a gauranteed 3.25% retun for doing nothing. No wonder we get nothing when we put our money in the bank. No wonder we can't borrow money for our buisineses. The whole bailout saved the bankers but left us with empty cassinos they call banks.

I am currently having this debate with a liberal lawyer friend of mine who does not like guns. He can't seem to understand that just because he doesn't like something, that I should give up my constitutional right to it. He doesn't see the organized effort to place greater restrictions and burdens on gun ownership and shooting sports. He does not think it a big deal to sign and form and leave a thumbprint to enjoy your sport. Too bad he doesn't have to each time he buys tennis balls.

I'm sure someone has been beaten to death with tennis racket. We need to register all tennis rackets and place their owners on a national register ASAP! Same thing for sports cars, baseball bats, golf clubs, hockey sticks, 2x4s, kitchen knives, tree branches, rocks, etc., etc., etc.....

[fkleinbu]

Of course you can always stock pile the components <grin>..

As far as my banking goes, I am dropping BoA just as soon as I can, and buy me another McMillan stock or something.. I worked with Kelly McMillan on rec.guns back in the mid 90's, and he is a real good guy.. Got into pleny of arguments with Gale though.. You see he is a Rem 700 guy, and back then I was a pre-64 Win 70 guy <vbg>.. flk k

"leave a thumbprint" where do you leave your thumbprint?

[MrDraco]

He might not have a cancel carry license and thus have to go to the sheriff's office to get a purchase permit and to get one of these you have to be finger printed every time you get one.
