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 |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
