That didn’t sit well with the company he used to process payments, and they informed him they were dropping his account. Another credit card processing firm told him the same thing: They wouldn’t do business with him.

FYI, Google is anti-gun.
I swear, if I ever hit a big lottery

be more than happy to finance a
company that has the potential to
reach 55,000,000 customers.
There is a solution to this, if someone with any balls whatsoever wants to finance it.
Insurance, financial services, loans and banking services.
Hell yes.
Only as long as it sponsors a Nascar team and the Olympic Biathalon team.
;)
Create a vacuum, it will be filled. Just a little time.
+55,000,000 for the NASCAR sponsor-
ship...I’d have a wrap on the car
with it showing hundreds of guns!
That would really p*ss of a few.
of=off....
And how much to hire a top tier driver?
Not nearly as big as the leftist organizations. Name a limousine industry that isn’t left? Corporate cronyism through control of money and health of most Americans.
“Big ol’ opening in the banking industry. The gun industry is a money making industry. Big money.”
BINGO!
