Manasquan, NJ –-(Ammoland.com)- Even after admission of wrong doing by FDIC, fall out from Operation Choke Point is still effecting law abiding gun shops. This time American Gun & Pawn in Brooksville, Florida.
While the Obama Regime can’t openly or legally take away Americans’ right to bear arms, through stealth tactics, using its willing accomplices in crony corporatism to put the squeeze on the supply chain to the Second Amendment, gun shops and gun manufacturers, or buying up all the ammo themselves, is their underhanded, “progressive” way to accomplish the same goal.
When American Gun & Pawn of Brooksville, Florida, received the following letter from SunTrust Bank, they were shocked and outraged:
As you can see, the letter from SunTrust Bank informs the gun shop that they will no longer be serving them (it’s a good thing they aren’t a pizzeria in Indiana!), and that they must quickly close all of their accounts, or the bullying bank will close them if the customer doesn’t by the deadline.
Now the bank isn’t honest enough to say in the letter the real reason that they’re using Nazi-like tactics, forcing the closure because their customer happens to be a gun shop, they use flowery and vague, politically-correct sophistry in one of the worst “Dear John” letters of all time.
American Gun & Pawn, after receiving the letter, wrote about it on their Facebook wall on March 27. They said that the bank told them they aren’t just picking on them, but are closing ALL accounts of ALL legal gun shops across the country:
“This is the craziest thing I have ever seen. This is how these people are coming after your guns. If they can do this to a legal business, what can they do to you?”
“When I called them, they said they are closing Gun stores accounts all over the country! We are a licensed and legal company! These big companies that infringe on our constitutional rights need to be held accountable!!”
If all banks follow their “Dear Leader” the way SunTrust Bank does, Obama won’t have to eliminate the Second Amendment, because there will be no place to buy guns and ammo. Oh wait that is the point.
BOA, BOFA will not have such a policy.It is the American bank.
We need to continue to do ANYTHING that we can so our voices are not just pushed aside, & for them to think we will just go away!!! Keep on supporting anyway you can!!!
Guess I just won’t trust Suntrust.
I guess these banks will also shutdown accounts from the big defense contractors,
small machine shops the produce parts fro Boeing and Northrup Grumman too.
Time for a class action lawsuit against these banks and the FDIC.
But our Government will shortly allow banks to accept funds from pot stores. Imagine that.
When, I repeat, when, will the over reach of government stop? and the people wake up. Big businesses, the banks, rich glib politicians in Washington. Obama is on a subtle mission to one day find an excuse to declare martial law and rid honest law abiding citizens of there God given right to defend themselves. These hypocrites just don’t get it. I ponder that we put to much trust in Constitutions, in laws, and in courts. These are false hopes. Real liberties lie in the hearts of men and women, and when and if it dies there, no constitution, no… Read more »

Sounds like a make work, quota based, equal opportunity, token, Michelle Obama, job to me.
I would advise anyone who is a gun owner. a sportsman, a hunter, to go directly to your local Suntrust Bank and withdraw all of your money. Then write a letter to the national office of the president of the Suntrust holding company, explaining why you did that. Then I would advise anyone who has an account in that bank even if you are NOT a gun owner or Sportsman or Hunter, to also go directly to the local branch and withdraw all your money before they go bankrupt, and the FDIC gives you pennies on the dollar for your… Read more »
F**k Suntrust.
My accounts at SunTrust will be closed in the am. How can you trust a Bank with these policies to protect your assets. I just hope that enough good people get this information to make a difference. The Goverment may be testing the public response using Suntrust to monitor if the Fed can spread this out to other larger banks. We the People are losing all control and the Fed is taking over everything. The bought and paid for Senate and House are so busy filling their pockets they are asleep at the wheel. GOD HELP US ALL.
Good Luck
