2nd Amendment ALERT!!! I just called Bank of America... you have to hear this!

BoA is probably one of the shittiest possible banks anyone could bank with. I got my family away from using them over the past couple of years. Support local credit unions as much as you can, do anything to not bank with the BoA assholes.

Yeah, credit unions are the way to go.

Ugh, can't watch videos where I am...what am I listening to?

I have been a member of a credit union for YEARS, hearing this video has prompted me to shut down my BOFA account and switch over to the CU right away. IF Bofa is going to assists tyranny they can do it without my help and money.

Some Hispanic guy who works for BoA said that they are stopping purchases of guns and ammo made with BoA cards.

Sorry to hear that AF, quickly:

A lady calls her local BOA branch and asks the customer support rep if BOFA is indeed halting the use of ATM cards when purchasing AMMO/GUNS or the like. The rep does confirm that they are no longer allowing customers to use ATM cards for said purchases.

The lady herself lets the guy have it in a logical sense and does a good job IMHO

Ah, thanks for that.

Why am I not surprised???

I have been bitching for years now about watching people pull out ATM and debit and credit cards now for the most mundane of purchases, and how the widespread use of these infernal devices will result in systems of control unimagined just 20 years ago.

And I have been shouted down as a techno-phobic Luddite for doing so.

Right again...God Damn Cassandra...

This is not like BofA.... I always thought them the type that would just tack on a hidden special transaction fee since god forbid they can't use your money. So the moral of the story is people should use cash only.....? I can handle that.

 

[jclay2]

Oh screw BoA and this corrupt government behind it. This is just a taste for Obama's gun executive orders tomorrow.

Just to pile it on a bit, this is older but...hey

Valley gun manufacturer: Bank of America froze funds over product This is a major story out of phoenix,arizona and it is proven to be real.

As far as I know, a credit card purchase only looks at the dollar amount of purchase when seeking aproval and not what is being purchased. I don't think they check what items are on a particular transaction. But despite the headlines, the conversation in the video does not say (other than the woman's claim) that there are any such restrictions. The person on the other end of the line at the bank could not find anything to support what she claimed. The "alert" is over nothing.

From my research, the ATM/CREDIT card machines use a "type"

so if you swipe at a restaurant it will say "dining and entertainment" to the machine and bank. It would be no problem from them to bar purchases by using the type, Im sure there is a "guns and ammo"

I know this because American Express does not allow one to purchase anything at any California LEGAL marijuana dispensaries. I had to look it up and its as true for visa as it is for AMEX.

You and KingNothingToSeeHere are really great at discounting before even examining something. See the posts above yours.

I updated my post. The bank is unable to support her claim that there are any restictions by the bank on gun and ammo purchases according to the video in the OP.

1:30 - "I heard a rumor that Bank Of America is stopping purchases made with Bank of America cards on guns and ammo, is that correct?"

"That's correct ma'am".

However, predictably that was the only information he could give or confirm, because my guess is the BoA execs are inviting Pedro in to debrief the public on why.

I agree with you here, I'm keeping an eye on the comments as a lot of people are calling in to confirm.
