| 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

I closed my accounts as soon as I found out BofA offered free wire transfers to Mexico from illegals.

Another thing manufacturers can do. Insist that your vendors not send any checks/transfers drawn on BoA. Otherwise they lose your business.

I´m wondering....since the right to own a gun is in the Bill of Rights and subsequently is a "civil right" can a bank deny anyone their civil right?

A lib friend who works at HSBC says the federales are putting pressure on banks to prove there is no money laundering going on. It´s a case of guilty until proven innocent. The banks, not wanting any more fed scrutiny, take the low road and close or suspend any accounts that may displease the regime.

Declaring war on your own customers is some business plan. But B of A routinely scrapes along at the bottom of the customer satisfaction charts. They don´t care. And clearly they no longer want American Spirit Arms´ business. I´ll bet there is an independent local bank in Scottsdale that does. Processing these types of payments is childs play.
Oh, and B of A´s other corporate customers should take note of this. Today they decide they don´t like their customers selling AR-15 rifles. Perhaps tomorrow it is sugary soft drinks, meat, vehicles powered by internal combustion engines, or maybe anything whatsoever associated with coal or oil. They can´t say they weren´t warned.

The holier-than-thou and easily offended people have permeated all levels of our society. If they had just stopped with smoking, it would have been okay. Now, though, they will soon be forcing bald men to wear wigs or get transplants or whatever. And if you don´t have washboard abs, then you will automatically have the local gyms dues deducted from your pay check and the IRS will have another form for the 999th required behavior, etc. form them to monitor.

Almost 3 years ago BoA noted a $200 collection account on my credit report. They immediately took over $20,000 of available credit from my credit cards. The collection account was bogus, and I easily had it removed, but BoA would not re-instate my credit, causing my credit score to go from above 700 to very close to 600. My credit was ruined through BoA´s actions. I was never late nor did I ever pay the minimum due.
I will dance an Irish jig on their grave when they go bankrupt, may they rot in hell.

#14 so you were OK with private citizens being told what they could do when it came to a person using, selling or catering to smokers? What is the difference between that and this? Other than you agree with one and not the other. You thought it a good thing for those in power to regulate the behavior you did not like.

Years ago, wife and I closed our Bof A accounts and switched to a smaller bank- a Credit Union. B of A was doing all sorts of funny accounting and fees we often had no idea what they were and the bank could not tell us a reasonable explanation. We just got fed up with them and never went back. I always had the feeling B of A was happy to see a small timer family account go, anyway.

This is old news! BofA has been doing things like this in the past. We pulled our accounts years ago from them when they got "PC" on us. (I believe it was when they, like Wells Fargo, pulled their funding from The Boy Scouts in favor of FaXXs, and then made a big deal about it)

Folks, as much as I dislike BofA this is not a witch hunt on guns manufacturers. This is Standard Operating Procedure for acquirers regardless of business. It is a good practice to reduce fraud.
We´ve got a lot more boogeymen to deal with out there - this is not one - please move in.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - A local church has elected to stop performing marriage ceremonies for straight couples until same-sex marriage is legalized. (snip) “Because the United Methodist Church prohibits its pastors from conducting same-sex weddings, excluding gay and lesbian couples from the holy sacrament of marriage, the Leadership Council has asked the pastor to refrain from conducting wedding ceremonies in our sanctuary for straight couples, until the denomination lifts its ban for same-sex couples.”

RALEIGH It took less than 10 minutes Saturday for Republican Pat McCrory to complete a journey he’d started years ago, from Charlotte City Hall to North Carolina’s governor’s mansion. With his left hand on two bibles, McCrory took the oath of office as the state’s 74th governor in a ceremony long on pomp but short in duration.

RALEIGH -- Republican Pat McCrory became North Carolina’s 74th governor Saturday in a brief, simple ceremony that nevertheless marked a major shift in political power in the state. It took only several minutes for McCrory, a 56-year year old former Charlotte mayor and former utility executive, to take the oath of office in the old Senate Chambers in the historic Capitol. The parade, balls, inaugural address and other celebrations surrounding a new governor will occur over the next week.

Argentine lawmakers approved a bill lowering the country’s voting age, a move that could rally youth support as President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner tries to revert a slide in her popularity ahead of congressional elections next year. The lower house approved the bill in a 131-to-2 vote yesterday, converting Argentina into one of only a handful of nations where 16-year-olds can vote. The government-backed bill, which passed the Senate in early October, allows young people to cast ballots two years before voting becomes mandatory at age 18.

Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up.

WASHINGTON - There were new questions Saturday night concerning if anyone in the White House was aware of the IRS´ targeting of conservative groups. Inspector General Russell George said he informed a deputy at the Treasury Department in June of 2012 about the probe into the IRS. The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week.(Snip)Marcus Owens ran the tax-exempt division at the IRS for 10 years. He said it isn´t difficult to figure out who´s doing what at the agency.

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

The Internal Revenue Service´s watchdog told top Treasury officials around June 2012 he was investigating allegations the tax agency had targeted conservative groups, for the first time indicating that Obama administration officials were aware of the explosive matter in the midst of the president´s re-election campaign. The disclosure to the Treasury general counsel and the deputy secretary was a cursory one, according to J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration. He said he didn´t reveal conclusions of the probe, which was in its early stages, and his disclosure came as part
