How federal taxpayer dollars subsidize gun control activists

Published in Blog on July 22, 2020 by Article V Patriot

Whether you like it or not, your tax dollars support a gun control agenda that seeks to eliminate Second Amendment rights in our country. 

Federal government subsidies to large banks are allowing those banks to discriminate against gun-related businesses across the country, according to a new report from Fox News. These banks and financial institutions are harassing gun companies, forcing them to change policies, and in some cases, cutting ties altogether.

Without banks to provide loans and other capital, gun manufacturers risk going out of business -- which is exactly what these banks are hoping to accomplish.  

"Financial activism by banks is by far one of the largest emerging threats against Second Amendment rights," Philip Watson, founder of Washington Public Relations and a Second Amendment advocate, told Fox News. "The federal government allows the financial industry to receive vast amounts of federal funds; however, those exact same funds free up their balance sheets enough to discriminate and play politics."

"This is nothing less than government-subsidized gun control," Watson asserted.

Your taxpayer dollars shouldn't be used without your consent to fund efforts to limit your constitutional rights. And yet, every day, the federal government spends (and wastes) your money on projects many Americans object to.

Federal dollars are used to bribe states into implementing needless, useless, and harmful programs. They're used to fund nonprofits engaged in activity objectionable to huge swaths of the American people. And they're used to prop up industries that don't have a hope of surviving in the free market.

It shouldn't be this way, and with a Convention of States, it doesn't have to be.

An Article V Convention of States is called and controlled by the states and has the power to propose constitutional amendments that restore fiscal sanity in Washington. Especially in these uncertain times -- and with the country teetering on the brink of financial collapse -- we need amendments that mandate real, sustainable fiscal responsibility.

These amendments can include requirements to balance the budget, cap spending, and limit taxation. These amendments can prohibit the federal government from spending money on anything within state jurisdiction, and limit federal dollars sent to objectionable programs and nonprofits. 

Our country is over $26 trillion in debt. We can't afford to waste our heard-earned taxpayer dollars to fund the virtue-signalling gun control schemes of big banks. We need to make sure our money works for us, We the People, and we can do it with a Convention of States.

Petition your state legislator

Almost everyone knows that our federal government is on a dangerous course. The unsustainable debt combined with crushing regulations on states and businesses is a recipe for disaster.

What is less known is that the Founders gave state legislatures the power to act as a final check on abuses of power by Washington, DC. Article V of the U.S. Constitution authorizes the state legislatures to call a convention to proposing needed amendments to the Constitution. This process does not require the consent of the federal government in Washington DC.

I support Convention of States; a national movement to call a convention under Article V of the United States Constitution, restricted to proposing amendments that will impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit its power and jurisdiction, and impose term limits on its officials and members of Congress.

I want our state to be one of the necessary 34 states to pass a resolution calling for this kind of an Article V convention. You can find a copy of the model resolution and the Article V Pocket Guide (which explains the process and answers many questions) here: https://conventionofstates.com/handbook_pdf

I ask that you support Convention of States and consider becoming a co-sponsor. Please respond to my request by informing the national COS team of your position, or sending them any questions you may have:
