TD BANK JOINS FORCES WITH ANTI GUNNERS

Meh. The banks don't have to comply with the administration's bullshit. They're entirely responsible for their own decisions. The banks already have entire groups dedicated to KYC operations, so the additional paperwork threat is little more than an excuse. If the banks were on our side they'd stand up against it.
 
We have since found an extremely firearms friendly bank right here locally in town. For anyone who lives on the sand bar otherwise known as Cape Cod, the Cape Cod 5 bank has no problems with firearms or companies affiliated with. I am moving my own personal accounts to them as well. Its great to see so many that are actually offended by this. Lets get the word out and let the world know where some loyalties truly lie. And i appologize about my all caps in previous posts. ill try to contain the yelling in my head

I like how they classify a business with a Federal license as "grey". [rolleyes]

Willing to bet big firms like Wal-Mart and Dick's Sporting goods can still have accounts with Chase and TD. Looks like a great way to shut down gun businesses in three steps:

1) Require a valid bank account to have FFL.
2) Make it illegal for an FFL to have a bank account.
3) Deploy MRAPS and fill FEMA camps.

This is the truth. I still think they will attempt confiscation at some point soon. They see us as their slaves and nothing else.

That's my final line in the sand. There are a few others before it, but that's the big one, draw by a two-by-four, and wetted with fresh urine. Yeah... don't cross that line...
 
I find this amusing, one of the reasons I stay with TD bank is they have always have a branch within a mile of my favorite gun stores. [rofl]

Unfortunately the Feds are the ones pushing this onto the banks. They eventually will work their way to the smaller ones when they are done with the bigger ones.

I don't blame Obama or any other elected official for anything, I blame the mindless sheep that elected them.

What I don't understand is why anyone is still banking with any of the mega-banks after they screwed us over in 2008?

Want to make a difference, vote with your dollars and go local.

Convenience. Local banks have always been light years behind BoA's infrastructure, online banking, and phone apps.

Gun Owners of America​
Obama finally moves to choke off
American Firearms Manufacture and Sales

​
CORRECTION: This is a resend of today’s alert, as in our previous email, the link for the ACTION item at the bottom of was not working. You can click here to contact your Representative and Senators, or you can go to the ACTION item below.
​
We've heard it all a thousand times: Barack Obama's dubious claims that he believes in the Second Amendment -- that he supports hunting and fishing -- that he only wants to make “reasonable, common sense” restrictions on your Second Amendment rights.
And we've told you a thousand times what you already knew: The man is a liar.
Obama's goal is nothing less than to crush the Second Amendment movement -- and outlaw the possession of firearms in America.
Now we have the "smoking gun" (so to speak). Obama has now moved to shut down every gun dealer and manufacturer in America by cutting off all credit from any financial institution -- in addition to eliminating any ability of an FFL to process payments through the banks.
In a front-page article Monday in The Washington Times, reporter Kelly Riddell described this concerted effort by the Obama administration to choke off gun manufacturing and sales in the United States by drying up credit to gun dealers and manufacturers.
Obama using the FDIC to restrict Second Amendment rights
The effort starts with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which has lumped gun dealers in the same “high risk” category as pornographers. Coupled with Eric Holder's Justice Department Operation Chokepoint, the FDIC's action has encouraged banks to destroy the gun industry by dropping dealers, freezing their assets, and refusing to process their on-line sales. Already, thousands of gun dealers report being victimized by this administration effort to destroy the Second
Amendment by regulatory fiat.
And, if the gun dealer near you has yet to feel the pinch, just wait awhile.
As Barack Obama no doubt understands, if American gun dealers and manufacturers can no longer get credit, the manufacture and sales of firearms in America come to a screeching halt.
As the owner of the gun manufacturer, the McMillan
Group, persuasively argued in the Riddell article, this is nothing more than an “attempt by the federal government to keep people from buying guns.”
In fact, it's becoming increasingly clear that the Obama administration feels it can destroy a major political opponent of theirs -- namely, gun owners -- by destroying and demoralizing the Second Amendment movement.
GOA working the “ground game”
Already, Gun Owners of America is encouraging Members of Congress to defund Obama's efforts to dry up funding for the firearms industry by regulatory fiat.
Congressman Steve Stockman put it this way: “It's pretty clear that, unless Congress uses the power of the purse to stop him, Barack Obama will use his ‘phone and his pen’ to ban guns by cutting off money for gun manufacturers and dealers.”
The Obama administration has done a lot of nibbling around the edges in its efforts to ban guns by the back door. But it has now taken us to the crucible of history. And Congress, by its actions, will show whether it is willing to take on the White House and the sycophant mainline press in order to save the Bill of Rights.
Legislators are proposing bills on a wide variety of fronts. Blaine Luetkemeyer, vice chairman of the House committee with jurisdiction, has called for legislation to block the FDIC's insidious scheme. And good for him! But, given that Obama will veto any free-standing legislation to save the gun industry, an appropriations rider is also necessary.

By the way, remember the Manchin-Toomey amendment from last year? It would have required private transactions to go through gun dealers. Now we know what that was about. If you have to go to a gun dealer to transfer any gun -- and Obama succeeds in shutting down every gun dealer in your state (or within 200 miles of your home) -- the Second Amendment, practically, ceases to exist.
Viva la Free Market
While we must work hard to defund Obama’s backdoor efforts to impose gun control, there is also a free market solution that has sprung up. One company that was hit hard by this FDIC policy has created an answer: McMillan Merchant Solutions.
The McMillan family is no newcomer to the Second Amendment community, as they have been manufacturing guns and accessories since 1973.
A victim of the Obama Administration’s policies, the McMillans recently invented and implemented Pistol Pay -- a product specifically designed to handle legal firearms transactions between two individuals in a safe and secure method.
Now, McMillan Merchant Solutions can have gun dealers processing credit card orders inside of 24 hours.
If a gun store you deal with has been squeezed due to the President's administrative pressure, here is where they can get relief: http://www.mmsllc.com/
Finally, GOA has just learned that there seem to be other similar solutions. As we check them out, we will let you know about them.
ACTION: Contact your Senators and Representative. Demand that they adopt language on this year's appropriations bills which will stop Obama from bankrupting the firearms industry by cutting off credit to gun dealers.

I have my personal reasons for not being a huge fan of TD, but I am pretty surprised to hear this about them. I wonder how serious they are going to be about this.
 
there is a response to the orwellian nationalist obamanistas-

secession

impeachment

state legislatures and congress can rid us of these progressive fjckbags but they dont have the balls
 
This is really too bad. My father worked for CCB&T who were bought by TD bank who were then bought by Banknorth and I've always felt some allegiance to them because of this. All the employees at the local branch, which is very conveniently located for me, have always been very helpful and courteous. I'll make sure I let them know WHY I am closing my account there when I do. Big thanks to everyone at the Powderhorn and especially Mark for constantly keeping up on the people trying to strip us of our inherent right to defend ourselves and our families in this backward state.

Now your allegiance has a good reason to end. Where was their allegiance to you in light of these circumstances?

How so?

If you find me a gun friendly (not that I really care) local bank that has everything BoA offers I'd definitely consider switching. That includes: free withdrawals from international ATMs, branches in all major cities, domestic ATMs that scan the checks/cash and give instant credit, free online bill pay / check mailing, protection from fraudulent charges, and scanning of checks through a mobile app. I haven't seen one that has the infrastructure that BoA does so it would be less convenient to switch.
