Sens. Lee and Cruz Take Aim at DOJ’s Operation Choke Point

[OKTexas]

U.S. Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Ted Cruz (R-TX) introduced legislation fighting the Obama administration’s Operation Choke Point, a Department of Justice (DOJ) initiative that unconstitutionally sought to choke off access to banking services for sellers of firearms and other lawful business enterprises.

This legislation sponsored by Sens. Cruz and Lee serves as a companion bill to U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer’s (R-Mo.) Financial Institution Customer Protection Act (H.R. 766), which passed the House with bipartisan support in February.

“Our right to bear arms – a right granted by God and protected by the Constitution – is fundamental to the protection of all our other rights,” Sen. Lee said. “An executive branch bent on taking away this right, through any administrative means necessary, is a danger to all Americans. That is why I am proud to co-sponsor the Financial Institution Customer Protection Act, which would end the federal government’s ability to abuse financial regulations to target firearm proprietors like they did during Operation Choke Point.”

Must be time for this ridiculous rightwing lie again.

Damn I figured someone would be pleased or pissed.

What's next on the list of ridiculous rightwing lies to dredge up again, Obama's going to "ban" 5.56 NATO; such is the idiotic right.

Pathetic little regressive, can't address the topic, so deflection is the order of the day. Move along silly boy.
