McMillan Fiberglass Stocks, McMillan Firearms Manufacturing, McMillan Group International have been collectively banking with Bank of America for 12 years. Today Mr. Ray Fox, Senior Vice President, Market Manager, Business Banking, Global Commercial Banking came to my office. He scheduled the meeting as an account analysis meeting in order to evaluate the two lines of credit we have with them. He spent 5 minutes talking about how McMillan has changed in the last 5 years and have become more of a firearms manufacturer than a supplier of accessories. At this point I interrupted him and asked Can I possible save you some time so that you dont waste your breath? What you are going to tell me is that because we are in the firearms manufacturing business you no longer what my business.
That is correct he says.
I replied That is okay, we will move our accounts as soon as possible. We can find a 2nd Amendment friendly bank that will be glad to have our business. You wont mind if I tell the NRA, SCI and everyone one I know that BofA is not firearms industry friendly?
You have to do what you must he said.
So you are telling me this is a politically motivated decision, is that right?
Mr Fox confirmed that it was. At which point I told him that the meeting was over and there was nothing let for him to say.
I think it is import for all Americans who believe in and support our 2nd amendment right to keep and bear arms should know when a business does not support these rights. What you do with that knowledge is up to you. When I dont agree with a business political position I can not in good conscience support them. We will soon no longer be accepting Bank of America credit cards as payment for our products.

Unfortunately I cannot drop them, I don’t have them as my bank.
I’ll pass this along to my friends in the Canadian Forces who depend on the McMillan .50 as their sniper rifle of choice.
We stopped doing business with those scoundrels back in the late seventies... nothing to do with this issue, but, with their total incompetence in all our financial dealings.
Bank of America which should be more aptly named Bank of Insolvency lost our business awhile ago. They will soon be gone as they are insolvent and only still around because they are being propped up by the Federal Reserve. Why anyone would continue to bank with them is beyond me.
Why pay their fees and deal with a “too big to deal with the little guy” bank when there are community banks and credit unions. And I worked for BofA before it was bought out by NCNB. Total change of culture there since the purchase.
I’ve never considered them before, and most certainly will never consider them today.

Three cheers for McMillan Group!
They will not be gone, as they are “too big to fail”. If anything, they’ll get a bailout.
Bank of America is that bank that gave credit cards AND bank accounts to illegal aliens. Avoid them at all costs. They’re a disgrace to the name America.
I always pay my AMEX to zero but have a balance on my Alaska Airlines BofA Visa. I’m switching that policy and will cancel the card. We’ve pretty much used all the miles anyway. And we’ve been wanting to dump Alaska for their overtly homosexual friendly policy anyway.
Firearms makers are the new “Juden”.
These Juden shoot back.
America is becoming the “Warsaw Ghetto”.
FUBoA.
I did too and my blood pressure went way down. They were and still are one royal pain to deal with.
Glad to know others had problems with them too.
Who was it that said: "A banker is someone who will loan you an umbrella when the sun is shinning, then demand it back when it rains."
That fits BOA to a "T"
Mine is backordered...
Seemingly due to a shipment recently diverty to Juarez, MX.
...by the driver!
Hit 'em where it hurts.
I think next time around there will not be any bailout money left. They will hopefully be allowed to slip under th waves.

I wonder whether that policy will violate the card services agreement with Visa International and their payment processor.
