    Default Bank of America anti-gun?



    https://www.facebook.com/McMillanGro...50946905673368

    Guess I'll be closing my accounts at BOA, I won't support a company that doesn't support the 2nd Amendment. Ironically, it's my Bass Pro Shops CC that is at BOA.

    With all the screw-ups of BoA this is simply to decrease liability. I don't know why anyone would even deal with them in the first place.

    I moved my loan out of BOA 5 years ago to a local credit union, best thing I ever did.

    Sadly they bought our mortgage two months after we bought the house. It sucks that mortgages do not stay with one lender until you refi with a different lender.

    I switched from them to westerracu.com earlier this year and saved a ton of money, my interest rate was almost cut in half.

    Not always. Depends on the bank. Our bank still holds our mortgage from a refi 10 years ago. In fact, that's the main reason we went with that bank when we refinanced.

    Thanks Sean!

    JeepWheeler; Not to step on your toes, and you certainly have your own view point, but I grew up around guns and have owned and used guns for 55 years. I think I got my first gun at 7 years old.

    My viewpoint: guns don't kill people, people kill people. When pretty much anything around can be used as a weapon (pen, pencil, magazine, newspaper, CD disc, credit card, and on and on), the "guns kill people" becomes a moot point. Someone wants someone dead bad enough, and wants to use a weapon to do it, they are going to make do with what is on hand and do the deed, gun or not. An armed society is a polite society....

    That said, I don't appreciate guns being pulled out on trail runs if they aren't a specific 'shooting run', and you won't find this happening here on this forum. The people who own guns or carry guns on this forum tend to be discrete...

    Josh, even though I disagree with you, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Thanks for posting.

    My intent was not to start an argument on gun control, it was just to inform my fellow 2nd Amendment supporters of what it happening. So with that in mind, I'll leave all the arguments in the bag and be a little more discrete.

    I should do the same.......haven't been able to keep my mouth shut or my opinions to myself since I was two years old, which was almost 60 years ago, so I doubt that will happen...

    Old habits are hard to break aren't they Pete. I know I have a few of my own, which will either stay the same or kill me one or the other.

    I'm not anti-gun, but I grew up in NYC where we don't have them, and I'm still surprised that people carry them here where there is so little crime. I grew up thinking all hunters were rednecked morons, but since moving to Colorado I've realized that that is not the case. At all. It's just a culture that I did not grow up around, and I've changed my opinion about hunters and CCP folks. Except for Dick Cheney. I was robbed once at shotgun-point on Staten Island as a teenager, they made us empty our pants pockets, take off our jackets, drop them and run away without looking back. If I had been carrying a gun they'd have that too, I'd never have been able to draw it. That's the downside to CC, things happen in an instant and usually the bad guy has been planning it, it's not a high-noon deal it's an ambush. In a perfect world the bad guys wouldn't have guns, but I think that at this point we are like Mickey Mouse and the brooms, removing them from "the streets" would be ideal but would also take a wizard to actually make it happen. Even if you took every gun off the street today, there are manufacturers all over the world making and selling them every day, they just keep coming. If I could, I'd make handguns only available to Police and Military, but anyone who passed a background check could have all the hunting rifles they want. Problem is that is a checkers answer to a chess question.

    I also think the "guns don't kill" arguement is pointless rhetoric and semantics, they are our only publicly available killing machine and they don't care what you call them. Technically it's the front of the bullet that kills. It depends on how you want to look at it, but a gun is a single purpose tool designed exlusively to kill, that's what they were made for. Regardless of how you want to define a gun, using it comes back down to personal responsibility and judgement. "God made men, Sam Colt made them equal." I'd add equally responsible.

    Honestly I wish that gun control worked, if we could say hey no one can have guns on the streets and it worked that would be great, but other countries have tried and the only thing that happens is to take the guns out of the hands of the innocent but the criminals are just that and don't care about the gun laws and can still get them and now they know that the normal citizen don't have guns to protect themselves.

    Look at every college campus shooting, there has never been a shooting on a college campus in the US were the students were able to legally carry their weapons. This is because the shooters are little babies who just want everyone's attention and they know that they will be the only person on campus with a gun and the other students can't defend themselves.

    It was my experience growing up around and for awhile hanging out with some rough people in Washington that most criminals are cowards and if they know that normal citizens can defend themselves they won't do anything.

    One of demographics in the US with the lowest Violent and felony crime rate are CC holders

    This shouldn't have anything to do with the gun control issue. If your business is doing well, abiding by the laws, and contributing to society in a law abiding, safe manner, and your bank has a problem with that, then GOOD-BYE to that bank. Jeepwheeler, you are entitled to your opinion, that's what makes this country what it is, and thank you for not cramming your opinion down everyone's throat (everyone should do the same to you).
