Wells Fargo Given Ultimatum: No Business With NRA, Gun Companies Or…

Nothing like blackmail and financial war to get what you want. I guess now the gun owners need to get together and start harassing the companies that buy into this stuff. The false narrative of "gunsd are the problem" continues to be sold to the weak minded so they don't have to strain their brains and logically deduce the finger that pulls the trigger is the problem.The use of force has become the standard way that liberals get their way, now it is financial force....

    I see no reason for the gun rights movement to harass anyone. If I were in NRA's management I would simply open an NRA Members Credit Union, for members only. This would certainly persuade plenty of lapsed members such as myself to rejoin.

    Exactly, the quality of Democracy is directly proportional to the number of idiots involved, and the degree of corruption. Given that, I would say we are at about 12 on a scale of 1 to 100.

    I wasn't, but a very good friend in MT was. He invented the Hex interchangable bits, and produced them. WF wanted him to sell, but he wanted to grow and make in MT indigenously.
    He screwed up (his CFO actually), and WF caught him out of covenant. They pounced , called his loan, and he went from $100M to $0 instantly.
    Fortunately he gave a lot of stock to his family and made them cash it in. They relent him money, and he restarted a new business, also successful. Just like they say.

    I suffered at BofA for a week in the 80's when they held a large check (from Merrill Lynch of all companies;^) after promising to clear it immediately when I opened the account.
    When they finally cleared it, I asked for a full cash withdrawal and walked across the street to a competitor to open an account. That bank was later acquired by WF. I left before WF arrived but years later my account was "acquired" in yet another merger.
    The entire federal banking cartel is a gang of looting scum without exception. They produce nothing and get to print their own money to make interest bearing loans, then get bailouts when they make stupid loans with full knowledge they will default.
    Seriously, the NRA and JPFO should open the Second Amendment Bank. There are 50 million customers would would love to bring them business.

    Wells Fargo is a gangster lending institution. Although I don’t agree with the teachers lynch mob, I hope they fail, and are crushed by institutions not focusing on blackmail, guile and threats.

    I once had an account with Wells Fargo. Worst bank next to BofA that I ever did business with. Do us all a favor and close them down.

    I bank at Wells Fargo. (Well, not very much, due to not having enough $ to put much in). But they should tell the AFT to go to h***. And I bet that not all the teachers, even the ones in the AFT, necessarily agree with that stance, anyway. I understand that in the North, many people are intimidated into joining unions, whether they want to or not.

    So is it a "Buy" or a "Sell" for Well Fargo (WFC)?

    The statement Randi Weingarten made "The lives of students and educators must be valued more than guns" is really not very astute. The guns could care less, it's the people on the other side of the issue they need to be concerned with. Is it even legal to threaten a business to take certain actions and ban specific customers? Maybe we do need some new laws. Maybe they should ban the guy with gun in all Wells Fargo facilities, yah, good idea.

    I believe the bank in question is Bank of America, not Wells Fargo. I also read in an (gun) industry wire newsletter a statement from WF management indicating that they are not in business to make political statements - just money.

    If their business model is good, they will succeed. If not, no vaunted patronage will help. The only time I've ever seen an enterprise with a good business model fail is when the government was involved.

    I wonder how many AFT members are going to ditch their affordable Wells-Fargo mortgages for more expensive products form other lenders?

    Well, WF seems to think not, as well as Citi, so your sense is not their sense. The urge to merge with the cosmic Liberal conciousness is impacting business now, and all of a sudden they become "moral" while still ripping people off. Weren't they the ones a year or so ago who were fined and embarrassed because they made their thralls get paid bounty for each account so they created thousands of fake accounts? Must have found Jesus and repented....
