Dangerous idea... How Banks Could Control Gun Sales if Washington Won’t

Q

I don't really see a good counter to this one. There are no 'good' banks AFAIK.

In the article he cites other payment processors' positions on prohibiting firearm-related transactions, and how banks implemented policies denying the ability to purchase bitcoin, which is a legal thing to purchase, to their clients.

Here’s an idea.

What if the finance industry — credit card companies like Visa, Mastercard and American Express; credit card processors like First Data; and banks like JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo — were to effectively set new rules for the sales of guns in America?

Is all of this a pipe dream? Maybe, but I spent the last 72 hours calling and emailing a handful of chief executives to discuss these ideas. None wanted to speak on the record, because it’s a hot-button topic. But all applauded the idea and some said they had already been thinking about it. A few, I discovered later, called their peers to begin a conversation.

At least two executives said a reason that they haven’t been more outspoken yet is that they fear reprisals from the N.R.A. and other gun supporters — not just in the form of boycotts that could affect their bottom line, but also actions that could imperil the safety of their employees.

good, go ahead.....

ill just start GunPal payment system and make bank from all the money they choose to leave on the table.

firearms are a multi-billion dollar business....i hope those banks have a good explanation to their board of directors for why they are losing billions in revenue.

1) show me any mass shooting carried out by a NRA member......were not democrats, we dont jump to violence when were not happy.

2) good, then the 2A is working just as it should.......people need to remember that actions have consequences......dont try to hamper civil liberties, and you have nothing to worry about.

That's exactly what will happen. 2A friendly businessmen will capitalize on this idiotic scheme. Do it indeed.

Already been done. Some Credit card processors were declining business from firearms businesses post sandy hook. I believe "Square" was one of them...

It;s not the face you fuck, but the fuck you face, she might do some really fun things in bed, you just never know.

They can go the same direction as the Pot Companies here in CO and elsewhere, just create their own system as they cannot use the current system or banks. So the Pot Companies set up their own payment network.

You can get around banks

Uh, um,,, didn't McMillan (as in the rifle-stock company) do something like this already, or start the process off,,, or something like that?

Yeah, I saw a few years ago where BoA and McMillan got into a kerfuffle. BoA was "too good" to "take gun money". I think the short story was that McM just ended up going to another bank. I'm shy of details, but that's my guess.

I remember this as well, can't remember who they went to.
Funny, they all aren't above laundering Cartel money .

I've been intrigued by that idea, but I can't help but wonder: If the state taxes are paid in cash and can't be legally entered into the banking system, where is all that cash owned by the state sitting? And what do the utility companies do? They legally have to sit on that cash as well. I'm thinking somebody must be guilty of laundering somewhere.

This has Soros and the Wall St. Left... written all over it.

So, educate me, I'm ignorant on the subject......

If Sturm Ruger, the NRA, and conservative gun owners all have blood on their hands, how is it that Blackrock (who is the 8,000 pound investment gorilla) doesn't ? What a bunch of hypocritical bullshit.

If I am supposed to feel shame for my positive stance on the subject of gun ownership, so shall those investors that have profited from Blackrock's investments on their behalf.

I haven't invested in Blackrock, hence, no investments in those companies. Therefore, I have no profits or blood on my hands. Not going to even waste my time with the "cars kill people" (valid) analogy. They don't listen, doesn't fit their agenda.

Because these Wall St. types are buying shares in anything they can get their hands on... using OUR 401K and IRA money... with the intent of controlling... the very companies they are supposed to be helping to succeed.

Wall St. is broken. It's a casino and a power base... not what it was supposed to be. A way to put capital into companies to help them grow and provide jobs and economic growth for our nation. Now Wall Street is about trading paper and %$#@ing over companies in order to enrich the leeches who are... trading paper and gambling with stocks.

Blackrock is a way to control industries, using other people's money. And funnel billions into the political system... that lets them get away with it. Why do you think Pelosi and Bernie are worth hundreds of millions?
