    No more insane than holding the NRA responsible for shootings by nuts. You are obviously biased if you can't see the similarity in the arguments.

    :no:

    Sad commentary just because you don’t like his message.


    Between the Republicans and Democrats it’s a lot of pot calling kettle black. Back and forth it goes.

    Well I know you're going to deny your logic at this point because I exposed it for being stupid I'm glad you recognize how stupid your logic is it would be nice if you could admit it but I know it's all about denial.

    The question in my mind is whether or not the government is free to exercise the same freedom of choice that the banks and consumers/customers are free to exercise (?). If it is, then there is no conundrum or conflict with the freedom of choice that is inherent in a free market system. I also question whether or not regulation concerning the banking industry should be effected by the behavior of a couple of banks, but that has probably always been the case, as well.

    Have you seen their propaganda videos? They all but say go out and shoot liberals.

    There are plenty of liberal gun owners we just don't subscribe to their brainwashing organization

    I'm keeping my guns and still support the NRA and Bank of America can do what they think is best for their interests as long as they make me money.

    I really don't need Back of America and myself to agree on anything , other than to be happy with their market performance.

    You are obviously biased, Josh77, if you can see the evil that the NRA is wreaking in our country.

    No one is going to trap or poison deer, perdidoches (a take off for Nacogdoches or Natchitoches?), because 98% of America has no trouble with long arm hunting.

    Zbr6 has made up a crazy story and can be ignored.

    flewism has the right take on this issue.

    Its insane that the rhetoric of David "Lil Hitler" Hogg, the Parkland Pukes, and the DNC anti-gun crusaders encouraged these "walkouts" that directly caused a kids death when the facade for their freedom stripping is "we gots to saves the children".

    Sure they are.

    From forcing people to sign up for auto insurance they don't need or cant afford to illegally using our information to enroll us for credit cards and mortgage loans to discriminating against lawful business and lawful purchases.

    These banks are not our friends, they're a cancer we need to obliterate with regulation and boycott.

    when powerfully entities go against the bill of rights they can put it in jeopardy.

    Banks have no business in politics. Gun manufacturers make a product that is used by our soldiers, law enforcement, and the armed guards they hire. They have a responsibility to their shareholders and shouldn't be using their public company for private interests.

    lol, they are in no way attacking your rights.
    yea, none of that is happening, except they are choosing not to do business with certain companies, which is perfectly within THEIR right.
    Yep, that's the nanny state big government conservative mantra.

    And that can cause these companies to go under these Banks aren't doing business with them because of politics.

    If you can't use a bank especially if you run a business you don't have any rights.

    It's illegal for them to own weapons.

    Why isn't the government keeping insane, murderous people off the streets?

    Answer: liberal policies.
