I am not going to give the details, listen for yourself. You might learn something. For those who don't at least occasionally listen to Guntalk, why, in the name of all things guns, not?!

A synopsis would be helpful, for those of us behind firewalls which block streaming media.

As to the OP, I've been boycotting Bank of America since 2004, when I closed all of my accounts and moved my cash into a local credit union. I guess I was just ahead of the curve. ;)

I was wondering what makes a bank all of a sudden not wanting to support a successful business? Seems like a bad decision, fiscally, in these economic times.
I have been wondering if this was possibly an attempt at gun control from a behind the scenes angle, and if this political decision were motivated by government bailouts.

BOA has been anti-gun and dropping clients since at least 2001.

This is not a government conspiracy fueled by the bailouts.

It's BOA, trying to find any sense or logic in their behavior is like herding cats.........

Yeah, you make any sense out of McMillan happily supported anti-gun BOA for the last 11 years and why the only chose to take a stand AFTER BOA cut off their CC service?
 
Discouraging any local (and successful) business and account holders is the dumbest thing a bank can do. Being against manufacturing in the USA just because it's firearms or parts? Really?!! It's like Bank of America is deliberately sabotaging itself and/or the economy! What the Frak!??

Boycott Bank of America! I bet a bank with a stagecoach theme wouldn't do this insane crap!

Two words...dial up. :(

ETA: I first heard of this issue through Grass Roots North Carolina, I guess as BoA is based here in Charlotte.
 
When I hear boycott on the Internet, I think of other futile gestures. Boycotting SW might have worked as the boycott would be by their core customers. Not the case for BOA.

I heard that the adopted kids organization (certainly a worthy cause), called for a boycott of the Avengers movie. Why because when some Avengers gave Thor a hard time about his brother Loki - he quipped that he was adopted.

The movie just broke second weekend cash records. Boycott?

Just a thought.
 
I would sooner bury my money and burn my check book and credit card than do any business with B.O.A.
 
I'm currently in the process of moving all my funds to a local institution. The only thing I have left is a small amount in my checking account which I use to donate to the NRA and other pro-second amendment non-profit organizations. My BOA staments resemble something like this:

Withdrawal-
NRA
NRA
NRA
Gun Owners America
NRA
Second Amendment Foundation
NRA
Etc.

Hope they appreciate the irony ;)
 
No, but they do appreciate the fact that you still have money deposited with them. Apparently you have missed the irony of your money removal apparently being sure to maintain balances. You haven't closed your account.

Do you appreciate the irony that you are still funding pro-2A endeavors with money processed through an anti-2a bank and you apparently continue to be doing so repeatedly. The irony is on you, not BofA that has no soul. All they care about is the bottle line that YOU are helping maintain be leaving money in your accounts to send to the NRA and GOA.

Isn't there a way you could send money to those institutions from 2a-friendly banks? That way, you won't continue to be supporting those that you are hoping to trump with irony when you aren't.
 
I recently refinanced my mortgage away from BoA. I also refuse to bank with them. And I stopped using their ATMs (and giving them $3 each time).

Yes, I boycott these jerks.

Like I said, in the process. Been moving actually, and it's on the list of all the other things that have to be changed when you move. Yes, I do actually realize that's all electronic and not a single solitary soul sees, or cares, about my transactions. I still find humor in it.

I assure you my pro-second amendment contributions have trumped the harm being caused by the hundred bucks remaining in that account. I'm just gonna spend the hundred and close it out, might as well send it to the NRA. I've already sent them a letter informing them why I'm closing my account.

I do also appreciate the passion you have for our cause!
 
Although I was a BOA customer for a number of years, I recently moved all my business to another bank simply because I didn't like their banking practices and excessive fee's that continually evolved. I am surprised to hear that they have addressed your business with such an out spoken anti 2nd move like that. Every time I have walked into one of their branches I am open carrying my side arm and have never been approached or asked to remove it prior to entering. I am however happy to have been informed of their deep rooted liberal opinions and will certainly not consider ever re-establishing my banking business with them as a result.

And yet it has been on your list of things to do for so long that you have a lot of transactions to gun orgs.

So you are okay with your support of an anti-2A organization when it suits your needs or is too much trouble to change. That's the irony I see and it isn't irony with just you and it isn't irony that any of us can get away from, but what you are saying is that the support you give them is inconsquential and that is somewhat true and it is true for the same reason that boycotting BofA is pretty inconsequential. They have so many customers, "you" really don't matter.
 
If somebody with a lot of money on here will pay off my growing loan I have with them I will be glad to boycot them forever. I just can't get the money anywhere else.
 
BoA is a scum dumpster of the highest order. This is just another reason why they never have and never will get my business. Their shady and predatory business practices and extremely customer un-friendly service have kept me away all these years. The only reason they're still in business is because we, the tax payers, have propped them up. Corporate welfare at its finest...im a true free market they'd be gone.
 
If i did business with BOA this would have been the end of it. I understand my political ideologies are different than the next person- that is fine and appreciated for sake of diversity, but when I am discriminated against for my firm belief in my right ordianed by the Constitution, it becomes a problem. A legal problem that involves violation constitution. Such is not permissible and shall be fought against in the court. They can not turn down anyone who belives in the Consitution. It is a flagrant violation the equal protection clause of the consititution as well the interstate commerce clause.

I am surprised they are not taken to school on this!
