In response to banking institutions that have imposed policies against business related to the firearms industry in the wake of the deadly school shooting in Florida earlier in the year, Louisiana Republican Sen. John Kennedy proposed legislation prior the recess that would prohibit the federal government from granting contracts to banks that discriminate against lawful businesses and based only on social policy considerations. |

| Recent news stories confirm what many here already know, "Operation Choke Point " was just one of several Obama-Era pogroms intended to not only constrain Americans' access to firearms but to severely curtail our military's logistic support base . Too often its not the obvious actions touted that are the objective . Presently America has many manufacturers of military-pattern rifles chambered for NATO - spec ammo it can draw upon . Killing their financial support kills that resource. It also set a precedent for similar targeting of other manufacturers of politically - undesirable or popular machines or devices; say like personal comupters . |

TO REMEMBER |
| We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal. — Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53 |
