NSSF Issues Statement on 'Operation Choke Point'

[Ronin13]

Nothing new here... Let's give them some comparison... Hitler didn't allow banks in Germany to do business with Jews...

Well in kinda good news: Congress had defunded "Operation Choke Point"

The house passed it...not congress. The amendment will have to pass in Reid's senate...good luck with that...and then be signed by Obama.

What?!?!?!?!...you've got to be kidding...no way man. The government uses its influence within the banking system to deny certain groups access to loans...say it isn't so.

This wouldn't be like the IRS targeting Tea Party groups would it....or giving money to CCC rated companies like Solyndra...or prosecuting citizens for supposed bad acts while letting murderers and rapists cross the southern border with impunity.

Can't be - that would be ILLEGAL!... Oh wait, I forgot who was in office... never mind, I retract.

Good job that NSSF is standing up for what is right! I hope that this actually goes somewhere in the direction of helping those who own gun-related businesses to get the start up stuff that they may need.

Not with this administration in power.

It isn't just "this administration" that's way too cozy with banks and anti-gun oligarchs. The establishment GOP is equally willing to sell out principle for payola. And the NRA backed the sleazy Wall Street puppet Eric Cantor over a maverick champion of free-market Republican values.

A different administration may not lump gun stores in with drug cartels as business for bankers to avoid. I expect the games to be played no matter who is in power but we can at least get ones that are not out to overtly screw us over.

I used to think all those folks yelling about "Impeach Obama" and "he's worse than Hitler" were just over doing it a bit, but now I am not sure they are. I keep reading about the passive aggressive opposition from the ruling administration and it is beginning to worry me 10x more than anything the Bush W. group ever did.

Only beginning to? Have you been in a coma for the last 5 years?
