Just when it appears the Obama administration can’t move without revealing another scandal, various news agencies are reporting that a Justice Department program dubbed “Operation Choke Point” is now under scrutiny, and yesterday, the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF)
revealed that it “has been investigating the possible role of the
federal government in influencing banks in their lending and business
banking relationship decisions regarding companies” in the firearms
industry.
In a statement released yesterday, NSSF said it is “is
unacceptable…to discriminate against businesses simply because they are
engaged in the lawful commerce of firearms, an activity protected by the
Second Amendment.” That came as the Wall Street Journal was
reporting that Capitol Hill Republicans were alleging that “the
government has pressured banks to stop handling payments for merchants
deemed as high risk—including gun dealers, short-term lenders and
credit-repair programs—punishing good actors along with bad ones.”
