Speaking of voting with your wallet.
Ever heard of these:
Benchmade knife company?
Black Rifle Coffee?
Recoil magazine?
They don't support your rights.
This one is only about Benchmade

Guess what the future of discrimination against our 2nd Amendment rights are?
Here is the current status:
"PayPal's firearms policy:
PayPal does not allow the use of its service or logo for selling firearms, certain firearm parts or ammunition.
Using PayPal for payments associated with items that are prohibited by their Acceptable Use Policy may result in the suspension or closure of your PayPal account.
Venmo's firearms policy:
Venmo does not allow the use of its service or logo for selling firearms, certain firearm parts or ammunition.
Using Venmo for payments associated with items that are prohibited by their Acceptable Use Policy may result in the suspension or closure of your Venmo account.
Zelle's firearms policy:
Zelle does not allow the use of its service or logo for selling firearms, certain firearm parts or ammunition.
Using Zelle for payments associated with items that are prohibited by their Acceptable Use Policy may result in the suspension or closure of your Zelle account."
At the same time, how many of you think the future of money is cashless / online?
How long will the dollar preside?[This message has been edited by 2.5 (edited 09-29-2021).]

One company's stupid virtue signaling decision is invariably another company's free market opportunity.
Additionally, the majority of commercial banks and independent credit unions have only one moral imperative: Profit is good. Loss is evil.
There are a multitude of options available other than the 3rd party payment services for secure online payments.
They may not be as convenient for you but they are there.
It is interesting that PayPal, not being a chartered bank, uses both Bancorp Bank and Synchrony Bank, both of which ARE United States chartered banks and to date I have not heard that either of those banks have any problems with where their other customers spend their money or receive it.
Here is a an enterprising new company responding to the current climate: https://www.guntab.com/
I haven't looked at all of the details about them yet but I noted that they charge the same 2.9% transaction fee to sellers that PayPal does.[This message has been edited by randye (edited 09-29-2021).]

For sure. Thankfully we still live in a free market society. But this is a disturbing and seemingly growing trend that I don't care for. Its not just government regulations that seem to be reaching to limit the 2nd amendment.

What do ya know? Applying common sense, and also the rules of the country.
Who knew? Its almost like that is how it is meant to work.
I would amend his last statement to say it is not just one "party"
Also there is a risk there of them making up "illegal" charges to begin with. Corruption never sleeps.
One of the vids comments said someting else of interest:
"It’s amazing how they say an arm brace “makes a gun more dangerous” , but if you pay a $200 tax, it’s perfectly fine."

So the argument is, if things can get dangerous and there are lots of people, thats where you shouldn't be allowed to be able protect yourself...
In many states it is not legal to carry and drink. New York doesnt happen to be one of those states, LOL! You'd think for folks that believe criminals will follow laws, they would understand this.[This message has been edited by 2.5 (edited 11-09-2021).]

It isn't just about the guns. Infringement is a precedent none of us actually want set.
A couple ins and outs of laws:
I enjoy listening to gun chat. Many times they hit on great points that I hope that people understand.
