I found this interesting. Bank of America ending business with a company because BoA considers them a firearms manufacturer. 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 don’t 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 won’t 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 don’t 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.

He KNEW they were anti and did this sort of thing, yet he used them anyway.... Now that they booted him, he makes a press release.... Excuse my lack of enthusiasm ... By the way, Bank of America is the devil.... Find a good credit union and never look back |

I've seen alot of buzz out there concerning this, but I didn't actually see any mention of it on McMillan website. I understand that it was posted on their Facebook account. I usually check these things out on Snopes, and it seems that this isn't BOA's official policy. I'm wondering if this "Senior Vice President" exceeded his authority and maybe let his position get to his head. I don't know what to make of it.
