War on the Second Amendment

[DrMike]

Have your heard of "Square?" This is the credit card reader that allows business to charge a card with their phone. Interesting thing about "Square," it appears to be part of "Operation Choke Point." Haven't heard of "Operation Choke Point?" This is the US Department of Justice (not a misprint) sponsored program to deny the purchase of guns and/or ammunition. The argument is that they do not violate the Second Amendment as there is no "right" to purchase guns. Here is a worthwhile read to get the blood circulating a bit faster today.

Most instructive accounts of business attacked by government through this insidious program. Government has become a means of coercion (think IRS and Lois Lerner, DOJ and Operation Fast and Furious, DOJ investigation of Associated Press and Fox News reporter James Rosen, etc.).

And Republicans don't appear to be in a hurry to defund the operation. Perhaps they think it will be valuable should they sweep the Senate this year?

The banking/credit card processing that Gale McMillan started should jump right on this. One more way to stuff it in their rear is to counter it with something pro-gun.
