bonnie Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Bank of America Freezes Gun Manufacturer's Account, Company Owner Claims By Gregory Gwyn-Williams, Jr. January 7, 2013 Bank of America has reportedly frozen the account of gun manufacturer American Spirit Arms, according to its owner, Joe Sirochman. In a Facebook post dated December 29, Sirochman wrote the following: “My name is Joe Sirochman owner of American Spirit Arms...our Web site orders have jumped 500 percent causing our Web site e-commerce processing larger deposits to Bank of America. So they decided to hold the deposits for further review. “After countless hours on the phone with Bank of America, I finally got a manager in the right department that told me the reason that the deposits were on hold for further review -- her exact words were -- ‘We believe you should not be selling guns and parts on the Internet.’”(emphasis added) Sirochman also wrote that he told the bank manager that “they have no right to make up their own new rules and regs” and that “[American Spirit is a] firearms manufacturer with all the proper licensing.” He also noted that he has been doing business with Bank of America for over 10 years, but will now be looking for a new bank. According to Unlawful News, this isn't the first time Bank of America has targeted a customer involved in the firearms industry. McMillan Group International was reportedly told that its business was no longer welcome after the company started manufacturing firearms – even after 12 years of doing business with the bank.

bonnie Posted January 8, 2013 Author Posted January 8, 2013 Is it? What ever it is, its a farce of an attempt to do nothing. Far worse than a farce.If this is a legal business and depositor has not done anything wrong what right does a bank have to do this? If they decide certain businesses cannot have an account then they should notify them and request they close the account. Quote Everything you do is based on the choices you make.
