Wal-Mart Credit Card

I noticed today, that my Wal-Mart credit card was issued by
G.E.Capital Credit.
As you may know, G.E. Capital Credit, recently issued a statement,
that they would not lend money to gun shops, or any firearms related
business.
If they won't do business with us, why should we do business with them ?
I will still patronize Wal-Mart, but use another credit card.
The Wal-Mart card went into the sredder.
 
.....this is why we need legislation which clearly defends our constitutional right to keep and bear on private property as well as not allowing contractual infringements of that right.
 
I wasn't aware of that but now my response to "Do you want to apply for a Walmart credit card" is being changed from no to HELL no.
 
Uh - how does GE rationalize dealing with WalMart who sells much evil gun stuff. And people use their card to buy guns - hence a loan.

Is this pointed out to them?

I think the issue is that GE wishes to maintain a “politically correct” image. However, the organization is not necessarily interested in conducting themselves in a truly ethical manner. Remember this is the same company that did business with Iran even after their support for terrorism was well known.

No, GE’s decision to deny financing to gun manufactures has little to do with an altruistic approach to business, but simply a desire to ride the latest politically correct wave and ultimately make more money.
 
When some of the major credit card companies started this "gun unfriendly" posture I got an NRA Visa. It is out of First National Bank of Omaha. I try and use it exclusively and have let my other cards wither away.....
 
More like the Korean War era, (glad/sorry to say).
According to what I could find on the web, Garwood Industries and Dillon are listed as other makers of the Minigun.
With GE still mentioned as maker and supplier of parts.
Anyone know for sure?

+1. What it ultimately comes down to is... how do we make the most money and still appear to be PC to our friends in high places?
 
GE's credit arm is very large. Almost all the "same as cash" offers you see, for everything from mattresses to lawn mowers to CareCredit that is used for such things as hearing aids, glasses, and veterinary care, go through GE. You will see it if you read the fine print.

GE is making no such infringement on that right. However, if you are going to argue that route, then you could argue that ANYTHING negative impacting the firearms industry would be unconstitutional and that would be downright silly.
 
Indian Express in the one company I utterly and truly despise, because I worked there, and I know what the company culture is. A more antigun and anti American company probably does not exist on US soil. I keep my card open, never spend any money on it, but I hope it is costing them money.
 
GE owns more crap than most folks can think about - airplanes, trains and train cars, trucks and trailers, ships and containers - they are involved in EVERYTHING - they are in the business of making money.

Personally, I wouldn't sweat it - if the card is a good deal, then use it and enjoy life
 
There is no avoiding doing business with anti-gun companies. There are way too many of them to avoid. Just one: Ford. Are you going to trash your truck or car now?
 
Oh No.
Don't tell me.
I was just getting ready to replace my trusty old Ford truck with another Ford product.
Now what?
All the Asian manufacturers must hate us gun folks, just on principle.
Buy a model from one of the tax payer bailout companies?
Guess it's going to have to be a good ole' American Harley or Indian.
