Title: should gun owners boycott mbna (biden contributor)?
Post by: 30 cal slob on September 08, 2008, 01:12:25 PM: so i heard somehwere on the interblab that mbna (a credit card company based in DE) is joe biden's largest political contributor.

i'm not sure if this has been addressed over @ THR activism yet but wanted to get your thoughts.

i have no idea if mbna is specifically anti-gun, but because the co. is (reportedly) supporting biden they are de-facto anti-gun.

i have no problem cutting up a credit card or two ... and am happy to raise a stink with mbna.

thoughts?

And I will never do business with BOA.

I went through living hell with them over an account my father had when he died. It took over a year to get it squared away.

First National Bank of Omaha backs the NRA ones.

Isn't that two whole days?

Post by: The Annoyed Man on September 09, 2008, 04:27:39 PM: I think you're right. I was referring to when I first found out about it, not really when it went into effect.

Either way, unless you just think the IRS needs to know about your credit card purchases, I particularly wouldn't use them for buying anything firearms related.

Then again, if they want the information, they'll get it one way or another.
