DC: Bank of America further solidified its corporate position in favor of gun control after sponsoring an anti-gun discussion hosted by Axios on Friday.
Axios co-founder Mike Allen facilitated the talk between activist and Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student David Hogg and Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut.
The event, held in Washington, D.C., occurred at 8 a.m. and had no outside sponsors beside BoA. Despite the fact that it was billed as a conversation “on gun safety in America,” there was virtually no disagreement between Hogg and Blumenthal on policy.
Allen asked Hogg what “the biggest mistake the media made in covering your situation?”
“Not giving black students a voice, honestly,” said Hogg. “My school’s about 25 percent black, from what I can recall, and about, I believe, 50 percent white.”
BoA was one of the earliest financial institutions to signal its support for gun control measures following the Parkland shooting. The bank said in February it would ask its clients who manufacture so-called assault weapons how they plan on helping to end mass shootings.
“An immediate step we’re taking is to engage the limited number of clients we have that manufacture assault weapons for non-military use to understand what they can contribute to this shared responsibility,” read a statement from the bank. more here
SNIP: 50% white + 25% black = 75%. Who is the 25% being left out and where’s their voice? The answer is, it doesn’t matter, because he only needs to attract blacks who think they are victims of everything in general. It’s the trendy thing to do. And I can’t believe he’s dumb enough to think the media doesn’t give blacks any voice. Unless he’s talking about Conservative and pro-2A blacks. But I don’t think he is.
Next time I need the opinion of a 17 year old on fuck all will be the first time.
“sponsoring an anti-gun discussion…”
I’ll bet that just curdled the brain… :ugh:

it’s not just BOA … https://www.redstate.com/bradslager/2018/03/22/citibank-makes-ominous-anti-gun-policy-shift/
… excuse me while I go cut up my BOA credit card … it’s only an emergency card to back up my local bank card anyway
I no longer use any National Bank but a State Bank near me. And if that bank jumps on the social justice train then there are other State banks. Why support people who hate you?
I don’t have Bank of America. I went to Bank of America with a friend last year and he wanted to open a account I told him don’t do it . Because Bank of America always full with illegal aliens. So I was right again the cashier ask him for social security number, ID, all bunch of shit . But because I don’t take shit from no one. I was looking at the illegal aliens coming in for the same shit . And the other cashier didn’t ask for social security or nothing. So I open my mouth and call mother fuc you guys taken money from illegal aliens with out ID but asking my friend for different papers. I told them fuc you all.

Wow, it appears the international owners of Bank of America stock
don’t agree with our Constitutional Rights. China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Germany, England, France, etc.
An unarmed Nation is not a safe Nation.
Alright, I’m a bit frustrated I can’t leave these businesses I’m not doing business with.
I’d like one of these assault weapons, but they are fucking illegal here😭
And I sure ain’t gonna pay for the stamp and licenses.
Couldn’t afford the ammo anyway.
Hey Bank of America I have a loan with you, been with for over twenty years. I’m doing to go to another Bank. Fuck you all.
Anyone know if AmEx has come out for gun control? I only have 2 cards, one is BoA, the other is AmEx. I hope I don’t have to get rid of both cards. Which ones can I use?
Regrettably I cannot leave BoA since I no longer have an account, but I will never do so in the future.
An open letter to business: you go leftist politically and I punish you economically.
BoA put a hold on my credit card because I owed them $1.50. Completely true story. I cut up my card at the managers desk.
I have had so many run ins with BoA I can’t count em. Needless to say I moved my accounts decades ago, except one. My Bass pro Shop Rewards card is through BoA. As the card has a 5.9% interest rate BoA has tried to change terms numerous times.
I use it just enough to keep it active and intend to keep pissing them off every time I can. I’m not through being mad yet, It’s only been 20 years.
