Did the bank bail-outs come with a political price tag?
I honestly never thought of that the bailouts did have a price tag the government dictated ceo pay it is NOT so much a leap of logic to think that call came from Holder or Obama.
People there are thousands of ways to impliment gun control without a full frontal assualt.
Anyway i look at this it's complete and total crap denied because you make guns and gun parts?
Only a fascist.

What happens after the future (2015-17?) economic collapse when all of the banks are merged (post banking holiday) into one under the auspices of one central bank? I guess by then we wont have the "equal protection clause" or the "second amendment" anyway so it will be a moot point.

In a word - Fascism.
The merger of the nation-state controlled by the executive branch with the banking-industrial-military-security complex.

Banks will then have to follow government mandate.

A National Rifle Association official said Friday the group is aware of the situation involving McMillian but "is waiting to get all of the details" before commenting.
I can not in good conscience support them. We will soon no longer be accepting Bank of America credit cards as payment for our products.Kelly D McMillan

This situation seems like it’s not going to go well for BofA. I talked to a number of gun owners that said they will no longer use BofA. Further more, BattleComp, McMillan, Hilton Yam, and others have already stated that they are either going to or have already stopped accepting BofA credit cards. On Friday, BofA stock went down 4.7%. I wonder why? LMFAO!

The Carlyle Group and Cereberus Capital are buying up controlling shares of publicly traded gun companies. It wouldnt surprise me to see them take gun manufacturers private with government money to complete the deal and then sell only to federal contracts thus cutting out the sale to individuals. At the same time Federal Govt (either congress thru legislation, BATFE thru decree or the POTUS thru EO) try to make the sell of semi-autos to the public illegal (not just assault styled weapons). At the same time they will try to ban the importation of same (just like they did with the AWP). Another example of using our system (capitalism and democracy) against us.
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.” – Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn

But will that matter if they (B of A) are just a front for the government?
Yeah, their shareholders may feel an initial pinch, until the government gives them yet another "bail-out.
