I can't verify the accuracy of this email I received this morning, but I am copying it to this forum as some of you may have more information on this.See below
McMillan Mfg in Phoenix, Arizona, was contacted by Bank of America and
informed that it will no longer be allowed to use Bank of America.
The reason: McMillan is in the firearms business and supports the second
amendment.
I am fine with you re-posting it. Thank for your support.

McMillan Fiberglass Stocks, McMillan Firearms Manufacturing, McMillan Group
International have been collectively banking with Bank of America for 12
years.
Today Mr. Ray Fox, Senior Vice President, Marlet Manager, Business Banking,
Global Commercial Banking (Bank of America) came to my office.
He scheduled the meeting as an "account analysis" meeting in order to
evaluate the two lines of credit we have with them.
He spent 5 minutes talking about how McMillan has changed in the last 5
years and have become more of a firearms manufacturer than a supplier of
accessories.
At this point I interrupted him and asked "Can I possibly save
you some time so that you don't waste your breath?
What you are going to tell me is that because we are in the firearms
manufacturing business you no longer want my business."
"That is correct", he says.
I replied "That is okay, we will move our accounts as soon as possible. We
can find a 2nd Amendment friendly bank that will be glad to have our
business. You won't mind if I tell the NRA, SCI and everyone one I know
that BofA is not firearms-industry friendly?"
"You have to do what you must", he said.
"So you are telling me this is a politically motivated decision,
is that right?"
Mr. Fox confirmed that it was.
At which point I told him that the meeting was over and there was nothing
left for him to say.
I think it is important for all Americans who believe in and support our 2nd
amendment "right to keep and bear arms" should know when a business does not
support these rights.
What you do with that knowledge is up to you.
When I don't agree with a business' political position,
I cannot, in good conscience support them.
We will soon no longer be accepting Bank of America credit cards as payment
for our products.

This is incredible…
I checked McMillan's website and it proudly proclaims that McMillan is now
doing business with a regional bank in Arizona.
