Operation Chokepoint: Justice Dept. Launches Covert Sanctions Against Gun Owners

[R.C. Christian]

I'm not anti-gun, I just can't afford the ones I want..

Gandhi took over a nation without using weapons...

Damn dude, what ones do you want? Granted a .50 sniper rifle would be cool but not all that practical.

How many USMB members have had a gun confiscated during the Obama administration?

That's not the point. Is it? No, the point is that they are laying the groundwork to do just that. The fact that you choose to live like a mushroom doesn't negate the fact that they are working on it.

It takes a long time to dismantle a Republic. They've been actively working on it since 1913.

And they had better be very careful...WE are armed and READY to fight back.

 

[Katzndogz]

It's not just guns. Many industries are coming into Operation Chokepoint. How many businesses will ultimately be affected? There is no way to know. If doctors continue their defiance maybe them.

I didn't make a thread on this yesterday since there was a lot of back and forth about the veracity and legitimacy of the claims being made.

Today, these claims have been verified.

The until recently covert Operation Choke Point administered through the Departments of Justice and Treasury is already having an impact on the financial industry and other legitimate businesses the Administration is targeting. According to the Wall Street Journal, J.P. Morgan , has been forced to cut ties with thousands of customers in the last year. Sources indicate that out of fear of government scrutiny, the bank is ending relationships with customers even if there isn’t any sign that the customer has done anything wrong. Other major banks have stopped offering certain popular, legal products or services because of government pressure.

Documents inadvertently leaked by the Department of the Treasury from a briefing on Operation Choke Point clearly show that the Administration is looking to significantly impact legal businesses because it believes the public needs to be protected from industries and customers deemed more likely to engage in criminal activity. According to the Administration, those industries interestingly include ammunition sales, gun sales, home-based charities,

"If you are for gun control, then you're not against guns, because the guns will be needed to disarm people. You'll need to go around, pass laws, and shoot people who resist, kick in doors, and throw people in jail, and so on; rip up families, just to take away guns. So it's not that you're anti-gun, because [...] you'll need the police's guns to take away other people's guns, so you're very pro-gun, you just believe that only the government (which is of course so reliable, honest, moral, virtuous, and forward-thinking) should be allowed to have guns. So there's no such thing as gun control, there's only centralizing gun ownership in the hands of a small political elite and their minions. Gun control is a misnomer." - Stefan Molyneux

...many bank and payment processors are terminating relationships with many of their long-term customers who provide underserved consumers with short-term credit options," it continued.

It sounds like they're talking about loan sharks.

Open defiance is a good thing, and I encourage it from all REAL Americans.

Good god, you people are all fucking mouth.

OMG you are so smart! Let's start with every veteran with who was diagnosed as being depressed and traumatized about having been sent to an illegal war to murder countless human beings for complete BULLSHIT.

If they are in possession of a fire arm then they are felons and will probably be SWATTED by some rhoid raging psycho cop who can't tell the difference between Fayetteville and Fallujah.

If the government can target people based on political beliefs we are no longer a free nation

Puh...leaze.... We haven't been a free nation in my lifetime.

That echo you here is the the stupid things you say bouncing around your empty skull.

How do you figure? Pay day loan lenders are little more than legalized loan shark operations since they've essentially circumvented longstanding laws regarding usury. After all, who's more likely to be an "underserved consumer" than someone with a poor credit rating and consequently can't qualify for regular credit? And what do loan sharks do except offer "short-term credit options" at exorbitant rates to desperate people who often can't pay back the loans in full? Then the loans have to be rolled over to the NEXT payday, thereby racking up even MORE fees. There's a reason why it's referred to as predatory lending, you know?

Bullshit. Get a hobby and maybe your feeling of constant fear will subside.

There is no groundwork being laid. This President has done NOTHING to control your guns.

I am not afraid of anything, or anyone. I am however far better educated than you ever will be, and I have actually read a book, you know those things with boards on the ends and pages in between? You know those things you look at while swilling your beer and flipping the TV channels?

And in reviewing the history contained within those books there is a very easily observed pattern which we are following. People like you though, are too stupid, or lazy to keep up.

What's with all the insults, bro?

Tell me about your education. I am interested. Also...how about a reading list? What are you reading, genius?

You are most definitely afraid. Fear is your primary emotion. You reek of it.

And you shouldn't have bothered today.

You're a paranoid rightwing loon.

No shit...why didn't he just post this conspiracy crap in the right section?

It’s hard to say.

Many on the right don’t believe the idiotic nonsense they post, but do so anyway as part of the conservative effort to create the false impression of National ‘gloom and doom’ for some perceived political gain.

Tell the guy that can't get to work because his car broke down how much better off he is with the government making sure he can't get a loan.

Tell the woman that just got hired for a great job that she is better off getting fired than getting a loan to buy the new dress she needs.

Aren't you the guy that claims that you care about poor people?
