We all enjoy talking about guns, but the fact of the matter is that if dealers, distributors, and manufacturers don’t get paid, we don’t have a gun industry.
It appears that this was precisely the plot of a number of anti-gun financial companies (that just happen to donate millions to anti-gun Democrats) that started several years ago during the first term of “hope and change.”

The April 2012 showdown between anti-gun Bank of America (BOA) and Kelly McMillan of McMillan USA that resulted from this behind-the-scenes battle quickly became legendary.

He spent 5 minutes talking about how McMillan has changed in the last 5 years and has become more of a firearms manufacturer than a supplier of accessories.
At this point I interrupted him and asked, “Can I possible save you some time so that you don’t waste your breath? What you are going to tell me is that because we are in the firearms manufacturing business you no longer want my business.”
“That is correct,” he said.
I replied, “That is okay, we will move our accounts as soon as possible. We can find a 2nd Amendment-friendly bank that will be glad to have our business. You won’t mind if I tell the NRA, SCI, and everyone one I know that BofA is not firearms industry friendly?”
“You have to do what you must,” he said.
“So you are telling me this is a politically motivated decision, is that right?”
Mr Fox confirmed that it was. At which point I told him that the meeting was over and there was nothing let for him to say.

There was, however, plenty for the shooting community to say, especially Kelly McMillan.

When Bearing Arms spoke with Kelly McMillan last week he said that he still fields emails and phone calls every day about the BOA snub, more than a year and a half later, from other gun industry companies that have been similarly targeted.

The sad fact of the matter is that BOA and other financial services merchants such as Intuit and PayPal have treated other firearms industry companies and customers just as poorly.

The difference between Kelly McMillan and most others that these anti-gun companies have discriminated against is that Kelly McMillan had the means and the determination to do something about it.

That “something” is the just-launched McMillan Merchant Solutions (MMS) a company established with Merchant Services Limited, which now offers credit card processing services to gun companies from a company that will never turn them down for political reasons.
