In today's news, many will have seen the story about Guns Down ranking American banks that finance the gun industry. I took that list and turned it into a pro-Second Amendment list. Bank accordingly:

Banks in America Ranked in Support of the Second Amendment

1. BB&T: A — 80 points out of 100
2. Wells Fargo: A — 75 points out of 100
3. TD Bank: A — 65 points out of 100
4. US Bank Corp: A — 65 points out of 100
5. PNC: A — 59 points out of 100
6. Chase: A — 52 points out of 100
7. Capital One: B — 40 points out of 100
8. Bank of NY: B — 35 points out of 100
9. BOA: C — 30 points out of 100
10. Goldman: C — 30 points out of 100
11. State Street: C – 37 points out of 100
12. ALLY: C — 26 points out of 100
13. Sun Trust: C — 25 points out of 100
14. HSBC: C — 25 points out of 100
15. Citi: D — 16 points out of 100

I'm slowly moving my banking away from BOA to BB&T and Wells Fargo. I'm sticking with Chase and Capital One for now.

The beautiful thing about Citi is that one can use an unsecured loan from them to do whatever one pleases.

Always Bank locally.
Small local Banks need your money and will treat you as a valued customer. I can walk in to my Bank and in five minutes finance a used vehicle at a much better rate than the Dealership will ever offer me.
They simply are a better deal all the way around and wont virtue signal your small local business out of existence because they choose to consider you not politically correct.

I got sucked up into a national bank by accident. My local bank was bought in the 1980s by a state bank; the state bank was bought by a regional bank; and the regional bank eventually became Bank of America.

Ironically, because banks and the financial system discriminate against firearms businesses, it's made the whole industry stronger, as it's not as dependent on debt financing as other sectors of the economy.

Most people don't realize that the firearm industry contributes $51.3 billion to the economy and employs nearly 288,000 people. For comparison, the movie industry is $36.4 billion.

Suntrust just got bought by BB&T last month so BB&T moves to the middle of pack until they prove otherwise. I will say SUNTRUST SUCKS DONKEY BALLS and stole about $250 from my account based on a fraudulent charge. I disputed the charge (actually about 6 separate online transactions starting at .99 cents and increasing in value every minute). They denied the claim the based on a similar transaction on my account 1 year previous ( which was the EXACT same bogus online charges starting with .99 cents for about $150 which they APPROVED AS FRADULENT!!)

Anyway...they got me for $250 bucks....beware.

I bank with a local bank right now and do not know who BB&T is? The rest I have heard of and do not trust any of them.

When banks started charging interest rates higher than the folks I used to prosecute for 'Loan Sharking', I went to local banks only and the wife's credit union thru her work.
