I've seen examples of more direct action.
For example, Soldier's Angels had their entire PayPal account disabled for simply processing the payments for a raffle where one prize was a pistol.
They were simply selling raffle tickets for someone else's raffle, and they're a registered charity, but PayPal is very strict: it's "relate[d] to sales of … (h) ammunition, firearms, or certain firearm parts or accessories", so boom, account disabled.
