All but a few weapons cost less that $5k.

BOA pulled crap like this back in 2018.

I closed that account for some reason, as it has been a while but sure had to do with politics.

“Suspicious Activity Report”

As long as they ignore the thousands by the Biden clan and any other ‘important’ connected politician.

"BARR: Banks Might Start Closing Accounts Of Customers Who Buy Too Many Guns Or Too Much Ammo"

Pro-2nd Amendment (2A) patriots, and I'm one of y'all, please consider that the states originally didn't obligate themselves to respect any of the "privileges and immunities" expressly protected by Bill of Rights (BoR), including 2A, until the 14th Amendment was ratified.

In other words, none of our BoR protections were intended to be absolute.

On the other hand, the states certainly recognized that you didn't want to be outside your home without personal firearms protection.

That being said, noting that the drafters of the Bill of Rights might have intended for a “well-regulated militia” to employ a "preventative safeguard' comparable to the one mentioned below, please consider the following.

Protecting identity and address of suspected account owners, banks need to consider forming volunteer, pro-2nd Amendment “juries” to look at income range, police and arms category purchase records to learn to flag suspicious account owners that may pose a threat to peace and tranquility imo.

Finally, note that 14A limits Congress's power to make peacetime gun-related laws (OH-NOES!; wait for it) to penal laws that discourage state actors from violating constitutionally enumerated protections, including 2A.

In fact, the congressional record shows that when Rep. John Bingham, the main author of Section 1 of 14A, read the Bill of Rights as main examples of constitutionally enumerated protections and immunities that 14A applies to the states, he included 2A.

The problem with our 14A protections at this time is that we have a very corrupt Congress that lets renegade, BoR-ignoring states kick us around.

Just imagine gun and ammo purchases after the CBDC.

That is one way to gut the 2nd Amendment.

What in one state to be overloaded on ammo, would be a light load in Texas.

Folks who “don’t have enough” now are too late.

Big brother has been tracking this for years BTW.

I’ve posted before, and got yelled at. But here goes again. If you want the gun, if you want the ammo, go to your bank and get a cash advance on your credit card. Then go the gun store and pay cash for the gun or ammo. People don’t like this idea because it causes a slight increase because of bank fees. IDC.

The solution to that is easy. Revoke the charter of any bank which does that in every red state.

You can act that way as a bank. You’ll just have to give up all business in half the country.

Your choice.

I think anything over 2 at a time triggers a “multiple purchase report” with the ATF. If you had waited 30 days(which you should not have to) you might have gotten the 3rd tool without review. You may indeed get a letter, a call, or a knock.

Maybe but I live in maybe the 2nd most gun friendly State of Arkansas beside Texas in the Union. Plus my new Sheriff ran on being a Gun friendly County and we have in some respects better open carry laws here than Texas does.
