About
a year ago, the Second Amendment community was rocked by news that the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) had teamed up with
Attorney General Eric (
the Hun)
Holder to utterly destroy firearms manufacturers and dealers by cutting
off all credit and banking relationships with them.
For its part, the FDIC categorized gun and ammunition sales as a
"high-risk business," lumping it in with drug dealers, pornographers,
and Ponzi scheme operators -- all of which it was working to completely
destroy.
So now, Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) has introduced legislation to shut
the doors of Operation Choke Point. Rubio's bill, S. 477, would
defund
Operation Choke Point -- permanently. It would insure that the
FDIC
didn't use "fees" to fund a program which could no longer go on with
appropriated funds. And it would prohibit the Attorney General and the
FDIC from reestablishing "Choke Point" under another name.
Furthermore, Rubio is committed to not just allow his legislation to
lie dormant. He understands that he may have to add the proposal
as an
amendment to a must-pass bill. This is exactly what we will need
to
overcome a potential presidential veto.
So
please contact your Senators and urge them to cosponsor S. 477.
