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 |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
