A Bank of America executive announced Tuesday that the bank will stop lending money to companies that manufacture "military-style" rifles that are available for civilians to purchase.
Anne Finucane, Bank of America’s vice chair, told Bloomberg TV that the bank doesn’t want to “underwrite or finance military-style firearms” and has told a number of gun manufacturers that it will no longer do business with them.
The bank has lended to the gun makers Vista Outdoor, Remington and Sturm Ruger, CNBC reported.

I’ll bet people like Bloomberg are leaning on the banks and corporations
Time to sell our BAC shares.
BOA - of Charlotte, NC. The “Queen City” has become just that.
Bank of America is the only bank in the country....if you don’t count the thousands of other ones.
You can’t, as a bank, deny legal corporations banking services.
This is outrageous and BOA should be shut down and sold off.
Texas and a bunch of other states need to step up to the plate and tell them they drop the restrictive policies or they get no license to bank there.
“So they won’t be lending any money for production of actual military weapons?”
the bank will stop lending money to companies that manufacture “military-style” rifles that are available for civilians to purchase.
Where the hell is jeff Sessions?!
I demand the banks refuse to loan to anybody affiliated with the #parklandPunks and stop loaning money to LGBT causes.
And remember a sawed off shotgun is likely more lethal than a military style semi automatic.
Trump should issue an executive order that excludes any banks refusing to do service with legitimate arms companies to receive government aid or government business.
Banks are definately instigators in the anti-2A movement. My bank would not take my concealed carry as a form of ID (it also happened in CHASE drive through). When this happened I started talking very loud and discussing historical events from the Founding of the USA-to the Killing Fields of Cambodia-to Venezuelans eating flamingos until the bank manager promptly accepted my concealed carry ID (can be used to vote) to help speed up my transaction.
I told them they would lose three accounts very fast if they did not shut down this stupid attack on 2A.
If you have a concealed carry ID and banks balk and they refuse to let u access your own cash...well....you get the idea. BE CREATIVE!!!
I was going to say I smell a law suit in the making.
This is political redlining.
It's time for Congress to act.
I am on the phone now with BofA right now. Told them to fire Finucane or all my $$$ will be removed. Call 1-800-432-1000. They are taking complaints about this seriously. Demand they rescind their policy and that they fire Finucane. Get a customer rep they will take your complaint.
It will be a pain in the butt with my auto-pays, but this is it for me with BofA.
Anyone know which banks still support the rights of Americans?
I have one of their credit cards. Cutting it up and closing the account.
.
US Bank has been pretty good.
BofA is only for illegal aliens.
