Why Doesn't 'Bank Of (Un)America' Issue A Statement Of Support For The Second Amendment?
Capitalism in it’s purest. Everyone has to make decisions on where and with whom they do business. I personally do a lot of voting with my wallet and I will do so without tipping off BoA nor giving any explination unless asked. If you feel it necessary to inform them ahead of time, to attempt to influence a change on their part, of why you are moving your business elsewhere, knock yourself out. I won’t. They should know or be capable of figuring it out themselves. There are MANY corporationa dn companies the are anti-gun. I am anti-them, it’s just that simple in my mind.
