Federal authorities interviewed at least one person, and that individual was cleared of any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bank of America dodged Carlson when confronted with the allegations it was singling out customers who made a purchase at a gun store. They said, \u201cWe don\u2019t comment on our communications with law enforcement. All banks have responsibilities under federal law to cooperate with law enforcement inquiries in full compliance with the law.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, \u201ccompliance with the law\u201d here is questionable at best. Bank of America didn\u2019t say that the FBI subpoenaed the information. They only said they \u201ccooperated.\u201d Carlson pointed out that banks are allowed under&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/uscode\/text\/12\/3403\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"bank-of-america-sells-out-gun-ammo-purchasers-criminals\" title=\"Bank of America Sells Out Gun &amp; Ammo Purchasers As Potential Criminals\">12 U.S.C. 3403<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;to provide information that \u201cmay be relevant to a possible violation of any statute or regulation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Bank of America\u2019s estimation, visiting a gun store and buying any product, much less a firearm which is protected by the Second Amendment, is suspicious enough to put their customers on a secret watch list without their knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/democrats-push-national-safe-storage-bill-in-u-s-congress\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"bank-of-america-sells-out-gun-ammo-purchasers-criminals\" title=\"Bank of America Sells Out Gun &amp; Ammo Purchasers As Potential Criminals\">Democrats Push National Safe Storage Bill in U.S. Congress<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The New York Post&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/02\/06\/bank-of-america-under-fire-for-helping-feds-in-capitol-riot-probe\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"bank-of-america-sells-out-gun-ammo-purchasers-criminals\" title=\"Bank of America Sells Out Gun &amp; Ammo Purchasers As Potential Criminals\">interviewed<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;New York City\u2019s former top cop who blasted the decision to hand over private financial data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s just not a good reason to hand over private information.

In fact, this is the fulfillment of New York Times\u2019 columnist Andrew Ross Sorkin\u2019s call for such action and who&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nssf.org\/not-just-guns-now-its-credit-card-control\/?hilite=%27andrew%27%2C%27ross%27%2C%27sorkin%27\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"bank-of-america-sells-out-gun-ammo-purchasers-criminals\" title=\"Bank of America Sells Out Gun &amp; Ammo Purchasers As Potential Criminals\">proposed<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;the notion in 2017 and 2018. It was later parroted by Robert Francis \u201cBeto\u201d O\u2019Rourke as a potential gun control program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also shouldn\u2019t be surprising that big banks with antigun agendas are emboldened to violate their customers\u2019 privacy, turn them out and label them as \u201cextremist\u201d and \u201cdomestic terrorist.\u201d The Biden administration&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.personaldefenseworld.com\/2021\/02\/biden-administration-anti-gun-banking\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"bank-of-america-sells-out-gun-ammo-purchasers-criminals\" title=\"Bank of America Sells Out Gun &amp; Ammo Purchasers As Potential Criminals\">yanked<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;the publication of the \u201cFair Access\u201d banking rule by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. That gave banks the greenlight to continue to openly discriminate against firearm business, which is just a privatization with a wink-and-nod to continue the illegal Operation Choke Point that was begun under the Obama administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is no longer the Bank of America. It is a gun control cabal working to undermine American freedoms, label gun owners as criminals and use their customers\u2019 money and information as the tools to get it done.
