Operation Choke Point, Is this the United State of America, or Obama's Nation?

Is the Obama Administration now targeting lawful businesses? Mike Hawkins, owner of Hawkins Guns, LLC received a notice from his bank on November 13, telling him his business account was going to be closed because he was a gun dealer. Upon visiting the bank, he was able to record a conversation with the bank official who said,

“We don’t do firearms, ammunition, Uhm, (unintelligible), (unintelligible), auctioneers and check cashing companies.”

Hawkins also owns a private investigative business and as a result was able to look deeper into the matter and was shocked by what he found. Hawkins said ,

“There are many Americans across the country that have been afected. by this. They may not have come forward yet, but the US Consumer Federation are getting numerous calls since my story broke and hopefully more people will come to the table with what has happened to them.”

Have Obama and the Democrats acknowledged that there is such a thing as legal business?

Perhaps the FFL dealers should not have been so quick to jump on the anti-2nd Amendment bandwagon and onerous regulations. The 2nd Amendment does NOT say, “Shall not be infringed, as long as you have a background check”. But, FFL dealers have been more than willing to bend over backwards to cower to un-Constitutional regulations. You know what they say - if you play with fire, you’re gonna get burned. Well, the FFL dealers have had no problem being in bed with FedGov and the destruction of the 2nd Amendment. Now, they are getting burned and expect sympathy? No, not from me. They are getting exactly what they deserve.

When he cntracted the business account did he sell firearms/ammunition? If so the bank is in violation of the contract, How about a lawsuit to force then to state in open court why the breech?

Shake off the legalese and most bank account agreements say "The bank can close your account for any reason whatsoever, or even no reason at all, any time we feel like it." Unless you negotiate different terms or the bank is closing the accoumt for an illegal reason (like your race, sex or some handicap) you're pretty much screwed.

It would be interesting for the NRA to open a bank, but I’m sure Obama would work to shut them down.

The FFL dealers should get with the Colorado pot growers and start a bank. The pot dealers have safes full of cash, and no place to put it.

Abortion mills have bank accounts. Abortion mills kill for a living. Cut them off from the banks.
