Like the title says, say what you will about their guns or them or whatever. But damn hipoint seems to always be telling anti gun companies to go fuck themselves.
Say what you will about Hipoint... shot at paypal

I have never been one to poo poo Hi Point. They have a niche in the market, the company understands and welcomes that and they provide a serviceable product.

This is very true.
But I do like seeing hipoint say you dont want to work with us that's cool we will move along.
Will it hurt PayPal? Not even a small dent, but like you said good gesture.
This is like when hipoint told Dicks to fuck off last year I believe it was

And as a private business, Hi-Point has the right to call out PayPal on their private website so that others who like their message can follow suit.
I'd it's their right to be anti gun it's our right to raise a ceaseless hubbub about.
I don't think they have the right to be anti gun though personally. Don't like guns? Get the fuck out of my country or get put underground I say.

"Like what I like or die." Tremendous.
No, they as a private business have every right to be pro or anti whatever they wish.
Gun ownership is a civil liberty. Those that would deny me or others liberty are tyrants. I unapologetically wish death upon tyrants.
I don't like asparagus either Mr. Darth, find it totally disgusting. But I could care less if you like asparagus, I wouldn't care if you enjoyed it it in my presence. I don't care what anyone does or the choices they make with their life. If a person seeks to interfere with how I want to live my life however I'd just assume take the eyes out of their head. I like guns, I have a right to own and carry guns. It is a basic human right.
I don't think it is ethical for any person or orgininazation to do even the slightest thing to deny or impede anyone of their basic human rights.

I think what he's trying to say is that since you hate asparagus, you shouldn't be forced to sell it at your shop or restaurant if you don't want to. It's your shop or restaurant. That's like you being forced to sell Obama t-shirts at your store.
I understand precisely what he is saying and I disagree. Not selling asparagus is one thing, but interfering with other people from selling asparagus is quite another. The biggest problem we have is the leftist monopoly on the tech industry. If there were equall representation and access to tech services, such as PayPal, then this would be less of an issue. As it is the left has a political hegemony over what have become crucial services and are using the denial of said services as leverlev against groups of people they don't like. And that sir is vile and evil.
And those that do vile and evil things gs deserve nothing less to have vile and evil things happen to them in turn.
And of course they are not.
They are saying you may not use their payment processing service to purchase certain products,
They are doing nothing to impede your rights.
It’s inceridbly unethical to force private businesses to operate in a manner in which they oppose.

Legal commerce is legal commerce. A payment processor should not be empowered to prevent the purchase of legal goods. Thats a very slippery slope. What happens if VISA/MC decide you can't use them to purchase firearms?
I am saying their entire position is unethical. Fuck them, if it were up to me they wouldn't even be breathing.

PP had always boasted as "a safe way to pay online" not "a safe way to pay online except for firearms" lol.

Has to do with new person in charge... and you may be surprised who else won't now, because it's becoming an epidemic!

Then you can't use VISA/MC to make the purchases.
A slippery slope is forcing a private business to act in a manner they don't want to .
Why should you as a business owner be forced by the government to conduct transactions you oppose?
Didn't something about a wedding cake cause quite a stir?

All rights aside, we're being funneled out of ways to buy our livelihood unless in person and with cash (or debit card, maybe). What's worse is all these payment methods can and will live without the small footprint of firearm purchasers. Sad, very sad.

BUT! Bad guys will still be in business as usual, buying from other felons or on the street. Another gun-grab failure!!!

But what if they felt the same about gun owners.
Are you so foolish as to think that that is not how they feel now? This is how they have felt all along. They want to put us all to the sword.
They are weak. They are slaves. We are the Patriots, struggling for our freedom. This is war, they are they enemy.
