Smoking Gun? Tape Recordings Reveal the Real Reason Bank Closed Gun Seller’s Account
Daily Signal ^ | 01/14/15 | Kelsey Harkness

Another gun seller says his firearms business was forced to shut down its bank account as a result of the government’s secretive initiative known as Operation Choke Point.

This time, he’s offering audio recordings to prove it.

Mike Schuetz is a former state employee who worked as a probation and parole officer for eight years in Hawkins, Wis.

After working for the state, he told Breitbart News that he decided to open a private investigation business and operate a gun store on the side.

His store, Hawkins Guns LLC, sells both firearms and ammunition.

To manage his finances, Schuetz set up a business account with Heritage Credit Union located in Hawkins.

On Nov. 13, 2014, Hawkins Guns LLC posted this message on its Facebook page about the credit union’s decision to close its business account:

The bastards couldn’t get the laws they wanted, so they are “controlling” guns this way.
Their goal is to restrict gun ownership by non-violent, honest people, and to leave guns in the hands of violent criminals.

I have seen this multiple times with clients...they have a credit merchant account through a local bank that gets bought by Wells Fargo or Bank of America and all of a sudden their put into a high risk category along with escort services and massage parlors or they are outright cancelled.

The key here is to cancel your bank of america or wells fargo lines of credit and tell them why. No room to complain if you are still doing business with these banks.

This means home loans, college loans, car loans, credit cards, savings accounts etc. The time for action is now to stop this nonsense.

govt agents secretly putting citizens out of business....is something that happens only in dictatorships

what makes these stories even more dangerous is that here we have it being done to businesses that are not only legal but CONSTITUTIONALLY protected activities

specifically, the one particular Constitutionally=protected business designed to help us little people from a govt administration going bad and making itself into a dictatorship to rule over us

When I make a mistake,and I often do,it’s an actual mistake.

Keeps me humble when it gets noticed.

Ya, well unfortunately, so many pensions and 401K’s are tied to those banks. Also, many mortgages eventually get sold to those banks too.

The ‘Coup” does not care what is Consitutional or not...they can operate long before anyone catches on...and longer still because they will strong-arm any who get in their way.

Do you think Warren just stated she’s not going to run against Hillary because she wasn’t interested? They need a staight path for Hillary because the opposition to her is too stong...they have to create a “smooth” ride for her....and they are certainly working Google, and all the media to make that happen.

You know all the Somians we brout here...7, 000 plus and growing. All of them are voting for Hillary eve though they have little understanding of how this country works.

Same with all these thrid world people they’re bringing in...and the list of all that they’e doing goes on and on...

They’re doing the same thing to the legal pot businesses, making it impossible for them to use a bank. When did all this become the business of the government? [Rhetorical question]

At least you didn’t say “apostrophe Nazi’s”.

If you said that, they would have to invade your Poland again. And this time, it wouldn’t be pretty!
