More Discrimination against gun buyers and sellers

Arlenes Flowers in Richland WA is being sued by the ACLU and WA state AG,s office for refusing to do the floral arrangements for a gay wedding. She has sold the two men flowers for years. They asked the store to do the flower arrangements. She said she would be unable to participate in their wedding because it is in opposition to her religious beliefs, she would however sell them the flowers so someone else could to the arrangements.
 Where is the ACLU now that Square is discriminating against gun owners?

As far as the ACLU is concerned there are only 9 amendments in the Bill of Rights.

They can pound that thing with the pirate rates they charge. 2.75% per swipe? They've got to be kidding.

I had to google the device in order to know what it did.  Any merchant that I encounter using one will not get my business, and I will tell them why.  The butt-pirate % swipe fee is just icing.

actually for mobile swipes thats about the going rate.    some are far worse as they charge fees per month and transaction fees as well.   pretty much every one sucks when it comes to that unless you have a store or do lots of transactions.

This is yet another example of why so many individuals today don't have any money. They're poor because they are busy as hell making everyone else rich, by paying ridiculous interest rates. 21+% on credit cards, and now 2.75% piled on that, just to swipe the damn card before you get home with what you bought.

If people just figured out what they're paying in interest on everything they think they own, they would have heart failure.

My figure is 0.  Everything I have is owned outright.  I have receipts, bill's of sale, deeds, titles, cancelled checks, you name it.  What I don't have is a balance on a credit card, car loan, or mortgage.

sadly not many people can do that.   I know I use to live off credit, you really can't run a small biz off cash.    more so when you need 6 or 7 figures for a project.

I still see this as an opportunity for someone to come and get that business.. With a very light advertising budget, that niche market would be there for the taking.. You don't have to be Chase or B of A to make money.
Ever noticed that the one crowd that never seems to bounce a check is Gun Guys, (at least with Gun Guys)? If Wal-Mart can open their own bank, I'm not sure why NRA can't do the same.. It's not like they couldn't use the revenue stream..

it would take 10s of millions to set up a service like square.

Cabela's also owns and operates their own bank, and banking system. It's the reason they push Cabela's credit cards so hard every time you walk in the place. It's called Foremost Bank. I'm not sure, but I believe the NRA is a non profit organization. If they are opening their own bank might violate their not for profit status.
