BANK OF AMERICA Freezes Gun Manufacturer's Account...

Bank of America has reportedly frozen the account of gun manufacturer American Spirit Arms, according to its owner, Joe Sirochman.

In a Facebook post dated December 29, Sirochman wrote the following:

“My name is Joe Sirochman owner of American Spirit Arms...our Web site orders have jumped 500 percent causing our Web site e-commerce processing larger deposits to Bank of America. So they decided to hold the deposits for further review.

“After countless hours on the phone with Bank of America, I finally got a manager in the right department that told me the reason that the deposits were on hold for further review -- her exact words were -- ‘We believe you should not be selling guns and parts on the Internet.’”(emphasis added)

Sirochman also wrote that he told the bank manager that “they have no right to make up their own new rules and regs” and that “[American Spirit is a] firearms manufacturer with all the proper licensing.”

He also noted that he has been doing business with Bank of America for over 10 years, but will now be looking for a new bank.

According to Unlawful News, this isn't the first time Bank of America has targeted a customer involved in the firearms industry.

McMillan Group International was reportedly told that its business was no longer welcome after the company started manufacturing firearms – even after 12 years of doing business with the bank.

I noticed that the complaints come from those who believe anything the liberal MSM puts out. Of course the same MSM that got most of the Sandy Hook story so wrong

What prevents the pimp from posting in full? Why do you think he shouldn't?

Seems like the article is posted in full hum-gun.
On the sauce early tonight, are you?

Tell you what, you go up to the top of the thread and read who and what my post was responding to.

Then, see if you can find your name i it. If you cant, then ask yourself why it is that YOU responded to ME.

And since you admittedly have ZERO authority ti dictate posting at FR, the rest of your sand filled little rant is meaningless.

For a guy that defended himself for IMPLYING (your words) Palin was a prostitute (post pulled) I find it odd you’d bitch about ANYTHING anyone else posted. But lust like a liberal, it’s ‘rules for thee and none for me.

Own it Gunner. And go away quietly before you disrupt the thread any further. No one here is on your side. The poster followed the rules and you haZ a tantrum.

Too damn bad.

Always pay attention to the trolls trying to sabotage the best conservative site on the net.
Some are just pure dumb and repetitious, in an obsessive compulsive, attention whore type of way.............Just observing.

“No one here is on your side.”
“Just here to brighten your miserable day little buck-a-roo.” “Gunner, you are now officially 0 for 7. I do not see your posse coming to save you. As it should be.”

Those of us in Gunner’s “posse” are laughing too hard at your crying about Gunner, to post. Not a good idea to mess with Gunner.

Yours truly,
One of Gunner’s posse (You just thought you didn’t have one - now you do.)

The difference is one of us followed the rules. The poster.

You did not.

I didn’t cleverly do squat. I pointed out a fact. Liberals hate facts.

Palin: According to you she is ‘implied’ to be. What a good God fearing Conservative that makes you.

Just stop now Gunner.

The woman at the bank was quoted in telling the customer that her bank was not helping a company to make profits on selling firearms so they made a decision to hold his money His money!

Because some dumbass employee at the bank say something stupid is no excuse to be ignorant of law!

Get a grip!

People keep saying that. But he keeps coming out on the wrong end of these tender moments we share. Why is that?

All he has to do is act like a decent person, not some idiot thinking he rules the roost.

Or does he? This his site? Does he call the shots? No?

Then deal with it.

Fact is the jackwad poster is only here to promote his blog.
I provided links, you know how to click them?

Palin: According to you she is ‘implied’ to be. What a good God fearing Conservative that makes you.

Reverence for God is tied to reverence for Palin? Really?

Just stop now Gunner.

Not quite.

“I have banked with BOA for 14 years with no problems. Not only their staff at the local branch is exceedingly friendly and courteous, even their central phone answering people have given me numerous reversing of charges for accidental overdrafts on my part. I get unlimited check writing with zero monthly maintenance charges and free printing of checks. The bank also gives me free $1000 life insurance each year.”

So....everything is fine from your perspective?? REALLY?

Oh I found one, continually find him as a matter of fact, disrupting every which way, just about everyday.
Tries to paint himself pure as the driven snow, but epic fail.

HE NEVER SAID HE WAS A DECENT PERSON.

“not some idiot thinking he rules the roost. Or does he? This his site? Does he call the shots?”

WELL, YES, HE DOES CALL SOME SHOTS - USUALLY WHEN HE’S SHOOTING WITH JIM ROBINSON AT THE ANNUAL TEXAS SHOOTOUT. Maybe you should ask Jim if Gunner ever calls the shots.
