2nd Ammendment Alert

[GreenBean]

A South Carolina pawn shop owner who sells guns, guitars and an array of other items says that his bank forced him to close his accounts, and he thinks it is because of the weapons.

Morris Williams, who owns Inman Gun and Pawn, says he thought his relationship with SunTrust Bank was fine — “excellent” in fact.

“We have ample funds in the account to do anything we needed to do,” Williams told Fox Carolina, adding that he thought “everything was just wonderful.”

Williams, who opened up two checking accounts with SunTrust in 2006, was given little explanation for the bank’s sudden decision.

“The only thing that they will tell us is that we have been deemed a prohibited business type,” he told Fox Carolina, adding that he believes his shop was targeted by the federal government because he sells guns.

Doesn't surprise me, the fed has been on a mission to undo the second amendment. ThoughI was pleasantly shocked when the federal court lifted the ban on guns in Washington D.C.

one of the problem we have in colorado Is banks won't let a company that sells pot use their bank as a place to take their deposits to... all pot stores have large sumsof cash on hand... they pay their bills with cash on every bill the pay ... this is becasue of the laws they have on laundring money ... now I relize guns are legal to be sold here in the country ... I clearly understand that... what has been happening is people who sell guns have also been selling guns illegally on the side ... so my thinking is if a bank feels you are beiong looked at by the feds ... then they don't want to be dragged in with being charged of laundering money for alledge illegal gun sales ...so they close your account... to say a bank would not want to take your money becasue you sell guns well, then you don't get banks ... banks will not keep a company on board if it will cost them money... thats they only reason I believe the guy got their account closed ... it might cost the bank money to have them, thats it ...

ok here is their reason ... we don't want you as a customer any more ... if a company does not want to do business with you all they have to say is , ""we don't want to do business with you any more ... thats it ... they don't need to give you, me, or anyone accept the person who they have closed their accouint with ... it not a case of how much money you have in their bank its a case of how much could your company cost them ... its all about money

Yes, you're 100% Right - they can do whatever they want - so why would they want to throw away business from an entrepeneur with an excellent credit ratiing , who has never missed a payment on any loans unless they were being pressured by an outside force - Big Brother. The Bank stated he was an dumped because he was "deemed a prohibited business type" . Yet other pawn shops that do not sell guns were not dumped.

Disputes over the second amendment, probably will never be solved. Will not be solved until the NRA keep the balls of Congress in its fist. And the number of massacres will continue to grow...

I'm sure the fact that he's selling guns illegally over the internet without background checks has NOTHING to do with it, huh?

I am an avid second amendment right supporter, but I have to use reason here. Not that I doubt the current administration would make such a rule, I would like to see proof that this occurred.

Good news for a Constitutionally-friendly bank. I'd totally boycott that anti-American bank if I lived in that community. Hopefully, the community will put THEM out of business.

But this revelation shows just how the government and anti-American Socialists will attempt to suppress gun ownership and transactions. Time for pro-Americans to plan a counter solution.

Gun retailers, payday lenders out of Choke Point's crosshairs - Washington Times
Gun retailers are no longer on a hit list deemed “high risk” by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. after the banking regulator formally withdrew Monday the list it put together that outlined what merchants may be considered risky for banks to do business with as part of the Obama administration’s “Operation Choke Point.”

Very Good Observation

Operation Choke Point is an ongoing initiative of the United States Department of Justice that was announced in 2013 [1], which is investigating banks in the United States and the business they do with payment processors, payday lenders, and other companies believed to be at higher risk for fraud.

But why then - if they were remmoved from the list - is thsi particular business being targeted ?

As we have found out.. There is the "Official List" and then there is "The List".

My money is that while Gun shops were taken off the "Official List", Bankers were told that nothing really changed, it was done to shut up Congress and pro gun groups.
