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.

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:

Examiners / FINRA ( Levin was on a screed about this tonight ) does not stop firearms related small businesses from doing unsecured commercial paper business to individual. Home many Conservatives would fund them? My guess is these small businesses would be overwhelmed with those willing to invest. ( note not investment advise )....

“Operation Choke Point claims another legal business...”

Not quite...sounds like they found another bank. They were lucky. If you read stories like this even 10 years ago, you’d be CONVINCED that these types of events are taking place in Central America or Africa.

Never in the US.
