Unconstitutional DOJ Program Putting Gun Stores Out of Business!

Last year, the Department of Justice began unfairly targeting gun stores by bullying their banks into dropping them as customers. Eric Holder’s DOJ claims this is necessary to fight against illegal gun sales, but the reality is the program only makes it harder for gun stores to do business.

This past summer, Congress approved a law defunding the program (known as Operation Choke Point). The legislation explicitly prohibits any funding for the anti-gun program. After mounting pressure, the DOJ announced it would no longer compel banks to drop gun stores as customers. That was a lie. The program is still going on.

This isn’t about stopping crime… this is about making it more expensive and harder for YOU to exercise your Second Amendment rights! As long as it is acceptable for the government to bully one industry, then we are all at risk!

Demand that Congress put a stop to this illegal program once and for all and start arresting these criminal bureaucrats!

Dear [Sen./Rep.] [LAST NAME]:

Last year, you and your colleagues slipped an amendment into the Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act of 2015 that completely defunded the DOJ's Operation Choke Point.

This is the program that the DOJ uses to bully banks into dropping gun stores as customers, making it harder for these retailers to do business and more expensive for citizens to exercise their 2nd Amendment rights.

There is nothing illegal about selling guns and ammunition. These businesses are licensed through the ATF and are subject to routine inspections and background checks.

But Eric Holder's DOJ treats them like they're criminals. Look at it this way… The DOJ has instructed banks to treat gun stores the same as escort agencies, pornography stores, drug paraphernalia, and other risqué industries.

As I said, you defunded this program last year. But the Department of (in)Justice is still blackmailing banks into dropping gun stores as customers.They claimed that they suspended this anti-gun program, but that simply isn't true. And much of the damage is already done. Financial institutions are still following the DOJ's instructions.

The Obama administration's policy is to threaten financial institutions with increased regulations unless they cut ties with gun stores. The banks, eager to avoid more regulation and bureaucratic red tape, reluctantly comply and drop the gun stores as clients.

Operation Choke Point was never about stopping crime… it was about targeting an entire industry that the Obama administration philosophically and politically disagrees with. It was about finding new ways to infringe on our Second Amendment rights without having to go through Congress!

The administration's gun control push failed so they have turned to trying to put gun dealers out of business.

Is this what the Founders intended? You and your colleagues put an amendment into law to stop this madness. But that obviously isn't good enough because the program is ongoing.

It is time for you to reassert your legislative authority. You MUST stop the administration from enacting Operation Choke Point immediately and start putting these criminal bureaucrats in prison once and for all!

No administration can be allowed to flagrantly break the law like this!

Sincerely,
