Excellent news! A few weeks ago, we told you about “Operation Choke Point” -- an effort by Attorney General Eric Holder to put gun stores out of business. Basically, it works like this: The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), at the behest of Barack Obama, has declared that gun stores are “high risk” businesses. “High risk” businesses have been, up until now, a small category of supposedly disreputable businesses, which have included pornographers, sellers of drug paraphernalia, and payday lenders. The second step in the process is Eric Holder’s Justice Department’s “Operation Choke Point.” And its function is specifically to choke off any credit or credit card processing for businesses (now including gun dealers) who fall in the “high risk” category. Already, scores of gun dealers have complained that their banks have cut their credit or otherwise put pressure on them. Three articles detailing this effort to shut down gun dealers may be found here ( http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/may/19/lawmakers-may-rein-... ), here ( http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/may/28/operation-choke-poi... ) and here ( http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2014/05/29/House-Committee-... ). The good news is this: Senator Rand Paul has just filed an amendment to the Science Justice Commerce Appropriations bill which will cut off Obama’s efforts to shut down gun stores by drying up their credit. The Paul language is Amendment 3292 to H.R. 4660. The appropriations bill is currently on the floor, but we expect the Paul amendment to be considered Friday or Tuesday. If adopted, the Obama administration would be barred from attempting to cut off credit to guns stores – just because they sell guns. ACTION: Contact your Senators ( http://cqrcengage.com/gunowners/app/write-a-letter?2&engagement... ) Demand that they vote for the Paul amendment. |
Contact Senators even if they have consistently refused to act in behalf of the Second amendment. If they have please send a Registered return requested letter to their local and Washington offices because it can be used when they campaign for reelection and pose as it's backers. It's time to start getting serious about collecting proof on all of them. In the mean time send them a message via; ( http://cqrcengage.com/gunowners/app/write-a-letter?2&engagement... )
