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.
