    The Obama administration, after failing to get gun control passed on Capitol Hill, has resorted to using its executive power to try to put some in the firearms industry out of business, House Republican investigators say.

    “We have documented that they are going after gun and ammunitions manufacturers, gun sellers and non-deposit lenders. Their own memos show they are well beyond enforcing the law,” Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer, R-Mo., said Friday.

    The only entity that took the money was Whitney Bank when they took $30K out of our operating account. The only entity that wanted to intentionally cause loss or harm to another was Whitney Bank and whomever was pulling their strings

    Now that this story about Operation Choke Point has come to light everyone can see exactly what I have been saying all along

    So you sold something on consignment, didnt give the money to the owner of the item, then Whitney bank stole the money you stole from him?

    Now another gun store in Katy, TX is facing the exact same situation that American Freedom Firearms faced last year

    You don't have to believe anything I have to say. This forum was never fully supportive of American freedom Firearms. But the point is that it is all out in the news for all to see.

    What were you arrested for? Where is Tommy's money? The other people who
    Had their money go missing? Your business was run incomparably incompetently so you either lost it or you stole it. In either case it's not Obamas fault.

    As everyone knows American Freedom Firearms was shutdown last year when Whitney Bank cancelled our business loan and refused to re-fi the balloon note on our commercial loan. This forced us into insolvency and eventually into Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Everyone said I was crazy for blaming the gov't for pulling Whitney Bank's string in forcing us to close but now we are seeing evidence that Eric Holder and the DoJ was doing this all along as a back-door way to gun-control.

    Now Tactical Firearms in Texas is being threatened into the same exact situation that happened to American freedom Firearms.

    You still haven't ever answered the question directly. When you sold an item on consignment why did the money go into your account instead of the owner of the item?

    Jack you obviously do not understand how a retail business operates. All sales are deposited into the operating account and then payments are made. Sometimes the sales clerks would payout cash from the register and sometimes they would notify the office to cut a check to the consignee. In January Whitney Bank saw fit to take $30K out of the operating account which made the company insolvent and unable to pay its debts. That is when we were forced to shut the doors and file bankruptcy.

    The only entity to take money out of the company and sought to intentionally cause loss or harm to another was Whitney Bank and whomever was pulling their strings.

    Now the news is reporting on the DoJ Operation Choke Point and several others in the firearms industry that have been targeted which proves what I have been saying all along.

    Whitney didn't remove the money to intentionally cause harm, they did it because you were losing money from your poorly ran business and they were trying to salvage what they could from the trainwreck that was your business. We have been through this already, you were using money for orders and from consignments to place previous orders. Using the money from today's customer to pay for the order placed by yesterday's customer, because you used their money to pay for the order placed by the customer two days ago. Like a ponzi scheme.
