Bank Of America Refusing Businesses That Support The 2nd Amendment

You just provided another possibility. That's a huge transaction. It's possible they now have industry exposure issues and no longer finance that industry for that reason.

 

here is Kelly McMillan explaining his side of this

Possibly. I cannot state what the pertinent manager is thinking. They could be feeling regret, indifference, maybe even happiness.

 

well considering the legs this has grown I think it is a pretty sure bet that the guy who made this decision is not a happy camper tonight.

Here is Kelly McMillan's response to the official BOA statement

this is not the first time BOA has been accused of this either, seems as if in 2010 there were some problems

 

So first it was BOA and when I proved that couldn't be true you switch to a "simple deduction" of a local loan officer....lol........pathetic.

I also already explained why it would be dumb for BOA to seek a defamation lawsuit.

 

Radio Refugee refusing to do business with B of A since 1981.

 

I'd go further and advocate for an absolute right for all individuals and businesses to discriminate on ANY METRIC. That would be freedom of association as I'd construe it.

 

How does that play with equal protection of the law??

 

no I actually did something you seem to be incapable of doing, I researched it and found out it was a junior VP that did it. I also found out that BOA had similar charges leveled at them in 2010Now feel free to get back to the ad homs and opinions which seems to define your definition of debate

one question, why are you so desperate to defend a large corporation that the Occupy Movement is attacking as non caring about the little guy? have you decided that maybe you want to be a CEO now, or just that you hate small family owned and operated ventures more than you hate the billionaires on Wall Street?

 

so now corporate CEO's are trustworthy and never lie?

 

please excuse the type O's did them all yesterday from my phone lol it has a mind of its own!

 

This is actually funny because The Bank of America was started by The Mafia (Amadeo Giannini founded the Bank of Italy in 1904) when they decided to try and go legit.

 

I never said that. You guys are the one taking the whole story from one side of the issue without bothering to check any facts.

 

There is a scary amount of stupid among gun idiots. I was the first one on the thread that did research and proved the OP claim false. How in the hell could BOA be refusing to do biz with firearms manufacturers when a week ago there was a $250 million deal announced with FGI???????? Since the OP was proven false you want to move the goalposts......dumb move.

I hate BOA and am not taking their side. You just accidentally revealed you let your agenda versus the facts take your position and I hate the whiny ass OWS idiots because they are a bunch of crybabies looking for free rides. Your crystal ball is broken......again....and again.

 

Perhaps it's just one branch of BofA that is refusing to do business with firearms manufacturers. FGI is much larger and supplies heavily to the military. They probably have far more clout to get what they want even if some factions in BofA object to it. I do think it's highly unlikely that there is actually any policy at the bank to not do business with gun owners.

There could have been some shaky credit issues or other reasons why BofA wanted to stop doing business with McMillan, and the banker chose that as an opportunity to make a political point.

 

McMillan has long been a supplier to the US military as well. I suspect McMillan and BOA could not agree on the numbers so McMillan trumped up the 2A crap to compensate and they knew gun nuts would take it and run without verifying a (*)(*)(*)(*) thing. If you Bingoogle the issue you will see an unbelievable amount of gun blogs that jumped on Macmillan's bandwagon without anything other than Macmillan's unproven claims.

 

I just finished reading seven pages of pro-NRA dribble. It's obvious what McMillan wants and what his goal is.

Look on his FB page. There's a big picture of (supposedly) a bank door with a sign saying something to the effect of "We allow Guns!".

I'd bet McMillan is a big-time NRA supporter and backer of legislation recently passed by the AZ legislature that would have allowed guns in public places, ala' banks and particularly schools.

Not a very smart idea, huh?

Gov. Jan Brewer, in probably the most intelligent (probably first) action of her career, vetoed the bill Apr 19th. I'm sure ol' Macky boy and his NRA comrades are pissed.

Meanwhile, back to the FB picture.



Looks like the bank is going under quick.

I wonder why...could it possibly be because it's sane customers don't want to worry about some crazed gun freak is behind them in line while they're taking their money out of the bank????

well you sure seem to be leading the cheer leading for BOA's actions or lackthereof, or is it that it scares you to see gun owners flex their collective financial muscle? What I have seen is BOA is responded with a no comment, BOA was accused for doing the same thing 2 years ago and the accuser is more than willing to discuss this with a BOA representative in public if they want to. I bet we are a lot more organized and have a larger financial clout than the anti gun nuts

I

 

Don't ask me how I know this, but here's the bottom line: They have policies in place regarding lending to arms and munitions manufacturers. And no, the guidelines have nothing to do with gun rights, either for or against. A company has to meet certain criteria in order to be considered for a loan. Other industries are subject to their own set of criteria.

 

Less than two weeks ago BOA entered into a $250 million deal with one of the world's firearms manufacturer.

 

What I am leading is pointing out the facts. The gun idiots have ignored them and when proven wrong moved the goal posts.

 

Yep. As with most large corporations, unless it involves their industry directly BofA has few opinions on political issues. Same with Chase, Goldman, etc.

Most industries have issues that need to be taken into account when entering into a lending relationship. Arms makers more than most. And for certain periods of time entire industries can find it nearly impossible to get funds. But that does mean anything political is going on.

 

why don't you just admit that you are all for the big corporations and hate small independent business?

 

After I prove the OP claim false you accuse me of hating big business and loving OWS and when I point out I hate the OWS you then accuse me of hating small businesses.....lol.....freaking pathetic.
