The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered as the palladium of the liberties of a republic, since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers, and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them. – US vs Miller 1939
Quote :
“No freeman shall ever be debarred the use of arms [within his own lands or tenements].”18 1 The Papers of Thomas Jefferson 344 (J. Boyd ed. 1950)).
Quote :
I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God. Oath of Allegiance
It should be clear now, Americans have an obligation to arm themselves and prepare for the Civil War being fomented by an enemy whose allegiances are to a world government; a world government where they rule as tyrants over all people. The Framers of the US Constitution understood this would likely face Americans and America someday — That day has come.
Quote :
And be it further enacted, That whenever the laws of the United States shall be opposed or the execution thereof obstructed, in any state, by combinations too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, or by the powers vested in the marshals by this act, the same being notified to the President of the United States, by an associate justice or the district judge, it shall be lawful for the President of the United States to call forth the militia of such state to suppress such combinations, and to cause the laws to be duly executed. Militia Act 1792
America is facing a war on two fronts: enemies domestic and enemies foreign. It was no secret the founders provided the guarantee of the Second Amendment for the purpose of keeping their oath – “So Help Me God!.” Without the Second Amendment, none of the words of the Constitution would have any more force than tradition, courtesy and honesty. Currently tradition, courtesy and honesty have been attacked and are now in triage. In the words of the Former President and Buffoon George W. Bush:
Quote :
“Stop throwing the Constitution in my face! It’s just a goddamned piece of paper!”
In the spirit of the psychopath explaining away inconsistencies in his life’s narrative, enemies, foreign and domestic, through the use of the captured mainstream media, try to convince the American people the Second Amendment is outdated and no longer necessary for any purpose including “hunting” (nothing about the second amendment was related to hunting) or self protection. Like manipulative narcissist, the enemy insists “if only” the people would give up their right to self protection, the Governments will faithfully protect them – and the nation, overall, will be a safer place. Using techniques developed for psychological torture, the enemy uses repetitive mantra with armies of human badgers agitating for more “gun control,” reinforced by false-fabricated-staged trauma inducing events, often perpetrated on children, in their attempt to bypass critical thinking internally and due process and the will of the people externally, for purposes of disarming the people. In the spirit of malignant narcissists or fully evolved psychopaths, the enemy telegraphs their intentions (projection) by the degree to which they are willing to terrorize children and the public at large to accomplish their goals.
Quote :
Psychopaths are not just identified by their lack of empathy, conscience and their ruthless, manipulative, single-minded, narcissistic and opportunistic ways but also by their almost total lack of application of “System 2” thinking. This means that they have a severe inability to deal with complexity, the welfare of others, or with any further effects of their actions beyond their immediate self-serving objective! 1
Because Americans face fear-causing, trauma inducing, psychological attacks every single day in the form of enemy controlled national and local news, passive aggressive advertising, and the agitation by enemy hostiles mercilessly pushing agendas, we have become emotionally overwhelmed, numb, with a lack of the time necessary to process the traumatic events. These are the tactics of psychological warfare
Quote :
Psychological Operations or PSYOP are planned operations to convey selected information and indicators to audiences to influence their emotions, motives, objective reasoning, and ultimately the behavior of organizations, groups, and individuals. Used in all aspects of war, it is a weapon whose effectiveness is limited only by the ingenuity of the commander using it. A psychological warfare campaign is a war of the mind. Your primary weapons are sight and sound. PSYOP can be disseminated by face-to-face communication, audio visual means (television), audio media (radio or loudspeaker), visual media (leaflets, newspapers, books, magazines and/or posters). The weapon is not how its sent, but the message it carries and how that message affects the recipient. Major Ed Rouse (Ret) Psychological Operations/Warfare
America is under-siege Enemies are operating from the inside, usurping positions of authority, creating de-facto government – while being funded from accomplices outside in the form of banking cartels (Central Banks) and the use of mercenary armies causing terrorism and regime changes abroad which is used as further psychological trauma aimed at Americans. America is being traumatized, and everyday pressure intensifies – the call to disarm get louder. It matters not that gun related violence in the USA is falling. It does not matter so-called “Assault Rifles”, the primary target of the disarmers, are involved in negligible gun violence each year; Less than 350 events involving “AR” rifles were reported in 2014. In a population of over 300 Million this number is just noise – negligible compared to other more egregious problems leading to premature death. Students Mobilized as Activist in a Cause they Do Not Understand. Recent marches by Students, agitating on behalf of professional disarmers, were organized by specialized political groups and individuals including ((((((Michael Bloomberg)))))) and his “Every Town For Gun Safety,” Gabriella Giffords, “Giffords” organization, George Soros Funded “Move On,” Planned Parenthood, the Women’s March LA, and the help of celebrities including ((((((Stephen Spielberg)))))), George Clooney, Oprah and others. ((((((Bloomberg)))))) tossing in $1 million and Giffords funding and arranging for students to come to the “March for Our Lives” from Florida. An article on the Canada Free Press website explains how the Disarm America agenda is organized and funded by Anti-American, dishonest, Zionists and Communists working to take down the last nation on Earth where the population is legally armed. From the Canada Free Press article
Quote :
Take Everytown, the noisiest and most dishonest anti-gun group on the scene. The one consistent thing about anti-gun groups is that that they are usually the opposite of what their name says they are. Everytown for Gun Safety was formed out of two other groups: Moms Demand Action and Mayors Against Illegal Guns. Both are actually front groups for (((((((((Michael Bloomberg))))))))), the lefty billionaire and former boss of the Big Apple, who used New York City resources to host at least one of its websites. So Everytown is really New York City. March for Our Lives is on every cable channel, but who runs it? The photogenic teen fronts are out front. But it’s obvious to everyone that a bunch of teens don’t have the resources and skills to coordinate a nationwide movement. Instead it’s the experienced activists who are actually running things. The March for Our Lives Fund is incorporated as a 501(c)(4). Donations to 501(c)(4) groups are not tax- deductible. And they don’t have to disclose donors. That’s why they’re a great dark money conduit. But the March for Our Lives website suggests that donors who want to make a tax-deductible donation should write a check to the “March For Our Lives—Everytown Support Fund”. How will (((((((((Bloomberg)))))))))’s organization provide support for the supposed student group? Why have two March for Our Lives Fund, one dark and one light? And why is one being routed through the godfather of the gun control lobby?
The students being organized to “March For Our Lives,” have no idea they are being played as pawns in a serious game to disarm Americans. These students and the younger children used during the event for photo opportunities are being used as political tools to support agendas which they are not old enough to understand. Watch the video below to understand how subversive Neo Communist and Zionist in the media organize children into a polished production of very selective slogans in order to work the agenda to disarm America. Children being used by adults with large amounts of money, to be featured in this highly structured psychological operation. I think this is scary stuff — Something Americans are not used to and will have a hard time understanding the KGB propaganda used in this psyop. https://youtu.be/603Su3eF4Jg
It is only because of the Second Amendment that I can write these words . In gun free (people forcible disarmed) nations like Venezuela, roaming death squads, likely supporting the political heirarchy currently in place, room the streets killing groups of people. In June of 2012 we see in the news from Venezuela:
Quote :
Venezuela has brought a new gun law into effect which bans the commercial sale of firearms and ammunition. Hugo Chavez’s government says the ultimate aim is to disarm all civilians, but his opponents say the police and government may not have the capacity or the will to enforce the new law. Criminal violence is set to be a major issue in presidential elections later in the year. 2
In 2018 we find in the Venezuela News Feed:
Quote :
A death squad in rural Venezuela gunned down 11 people in cold blood at dawn Saturday in an ongoing gang dispute. Victims were told to get out of their three respective houses in a town in the Trujillo state, and were then executed. The killers used a combination of shotguns and handguns to murder their targets. Three of the victims were minors, and one victim was from Colombia. The killings are reportedly retribution for an ongoing feud between rival gangs “Cagón” and “Los Cáscaras.” The gangs’ names respectively translate to “Frightened” and “The Fruit Peels.” 3
It is not just Venezuela, similar stories can be found around the world in places were the people were deliberately disarmed. In disarmed South Africa, their Constitution (just a “goddamned piece of paper”) was changed:
Quote :
The country’s constitution is now likely to be amended to allow for the confiscation of white-owned land without compensation, following a motion brought by radical Marxist opposition leader Julius Malema. On Wednesday, the South African Parliament voted in a landslide to forcibly seize farmland from white farm owners for redistribution to black South Africans. This comes after a 2017 audit that discovered nearly 72% of farmland in the nation was owned by white farmers. 4
In Europe, forced immigration has caused violence and rape in once peaceful white nations; Sweden now has Europe’s highest recorded rates of sexual assaults. But it’s not just rape – violent crimes are raging across Europe as immigrants from incompatible cultures are forced on the local populations. Those forcing the immigrants on the peoples of Europe are the same people working the “disarm America” movement in the USA. According to a Jewish Study Group Leader in Sweden,
Quote :
I think there is a resurgence of anti-Semitism because at this point in time Europe has not yet learned how to be multicultural. And I think we are going to be part of the throes of that transformation, which must take place. Europe is not going to be the monolithic societies they once were in the last century. Jews are going to be at the centre of that. It’s a huge transformation for Europe to make. They are now going into a multicultural mode and Jews will be resented because of our leading role. But without that leading role and without that transformation, Europe will not survive. 7
We have shown in previous articles that the main advocates, crusaders and agitators for disarming Americans are Jewish Groups. Checking the newsfeeds for violent crime in Europe we can easily find many articles
Quote :
The number of violent crimes and sex offences recorded by police in England and Wales has risen sharply over the past year, figures suggest. Knife crime and robbery also increased in the 12 months to September 2017 compared with the previous year, the Office for National Statistics said. About 5.3 million crimes were recorded in all in that 12-month period, up 14%. 5
Quote :
Migrants may be responsible for most of a recent rise in violent crime in Germany, research commissioned by the government suggests. The study used data from Lower Saxony, a state where more than 90% of the rise was attributed to young male migrants. The researchers say the findings are not surprising because many migrants who arrived in Germany in recent years are single males aged 14-30. 6
Recently Former Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens said in an op-ed piece, the Second Amendment should be repealed. Talking about the student “protesters” Stevens said
Quote :
“But the demonstrators should seek more effective and more lasting reform. They should demand a repeal of the Second Amendment.” 8
Stevens, a 98 year old Democrat, echoing the sentiments of tyrants through out history, continues to claim ” American citizens do not have the individual right to own a firearm for self-protection” Stevens, one of the dissenting votes during “District of Columbia vs Heller”, worked diligently toward disarming America by attempting to change the definition of the words “Bear Arms”, according to the majority opinion,
Quote :
… the meaning of “bear arms” that petitioners and JUSTICE STEVENS propose is not even the (some times) idiomatic meaning. Rather, they manufacture a hybrid definition, whereby “bear arms” connotes the actual carrying of arms (and therefore is not really an idiom) but only in the service of an organized militia.
Stevens is also a friend of Israel and the Jewish Agenda, and according to the THE NEW YORK JEWISH WEEK (April 14, 2010,)
Quote :
“Most of the Jewish groups closely tracking court decisions favor Stevens’ liberal record, with minor qualifications, and do not believe that President Obama will choose a replacement who deviates from the norm.”
We understand there is a Jewish Agenda, in America, to disarm the American people. But wish to remind Israel and the multitudes of dual Citizen Israelis living in America, the United States was founded and built by European’s with a European culture and heritage. Further, Europeans are still the dominate racial group in America; America is not an Israeli satellite state. Jews wishing to be disarmed can move to any part of the world where being disarmed is not a matter of choice. But the USA is a European founded nation with European traditions and culture and a nation founded on the right of the Citizens to protect themselves at all times by being armed. Any one attempting to Usurp this law, like New Jersey or the State of Maryland through legal fiction labeled Statutes of Law are in violation of the Law and thus criminals. Americans are now and have been, since the signing of the Declaration of Independence, Freeman, with the rights and the tools necessary to remain free codified in Law.
Quote :
“The right to bear arms has always been the distinctive privilege of freemen. Aside from any necessity of self-protection to the person, it represents among all nations power coupled with the exercise of a certain jurisdiction. . . . t was not necessary that the right to bear arms should be granted in the Constitution, for it had always existed.” J. Ordronaux, Constitutional Legislation in the United States 241–242 (1891).
Stevens’ can have his opinion, thanks to the First Amendment, but when the Second Amendment is ‘repealed’ all other Amendments will be honored when convenient or by courtesy, but not by Law, because Law becomes nothing but a ‘goddamned piece of paper’ in the eyes of fully evolved narcissists with deadly power. People who appreciate and wish to keep the protections against Government provided by the Constitution, including the Bill of Rights, must now understand the Constitution is just paper; the words of men now long gone. For this document to continue to protect and provide for Life, Liberty and Happiness, people must believe in the words and use them to find the moral courage to stand against the destruction of the American Republic. The founders’ found victory in their War for Liberty. It is now left to us to keep the fires of Liberty burning. The Second Amendment Was Written For Just This Purpose We leave the reader with a quote from “United States Versus Miller 307 U.S. 174”:
Quote :
“The importance of [the Second Amendment] will scarcely be doubted by any persons who have duly re flected upon the subject. The militia is the natural de fence of a free country against sudden foreign invasions, domestic insurrections, and domestic usurpations of power by rulers. It is against sound policy for a free people to keep up large military establishments and standing armies in time of peace, both from the enor mous expenses with which they are attended and the facile means which they afford to ambitious and un principled rulers to subvert the government, or trample upon the rights of the people. The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered as the palladium of the liberties of a republic, since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers, and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them. And yet, though this truth would seem so clear, and the importance of a well-regulated militia would seem so undeniable, it cannot be disguised that, among the American people, there is a growing indifference to any system of militia discipline, and a strong disposition, from a sense of its burdens, to be rid of all regulations. How it is practicable to keep the people duly armed without some organization, it is difficult to see. There is certainly no small danger that indifference may lead to disgust, and disgust to contempt; and thus gradually undermine all the protection intended by the clause of our national bill of rights.”

It is called predictive programming. This is where a movie, a book or a TV shows us the globalist future for America. We have a clear case of it here with the TV show, The Americans.
[size=42]The Plot of “The Americans”[/size]
The FX show, the Americans, is a spy drama about two KGB agents who are assigned to live as husband and wife in suburban Washington DC during the Reagan administration. The two KGB agents, Philip and Elizabeth Jennings came to America in their late teens. In order to perpetuate their cover, the couple gives birth to children, Paige and Henry. For most of her young life, Paige was ignorant of their parents’ occupation as the couple maintained their cover as travel agents. However, as the long trips to carry out missions at 4AM became too hard to keep from their daughter, Paige began to ask questions. Finally, at the age of 16, Paige was told the truth. When she graduated from high school, she showed an interest in joining the family business, while her younger brother, Henry, the youngest child, remained totally oblivious to the “family business. Paige’s excessive preoccupation with becoming a second generation Soviet spy, led her to be groomed to obtain a high profile job within the American government. The threat that someone like Paige would have posed to the security of this country would have incalculable. She was an American citizen with documented past. And as an honor student, she could have entered into the State Department, the CIA, the FBI, etc.
[size=42]A Real Life Case of “The Americans”[/size]
i know, some are wondering where this story is going. Surely, this could never happen in America, could it? From the Guardian:
Quote :
Tim Foley turned 20 on 27 June 2010. To celebrate, his parents took him and his younger brother Alex out for lunch at an Indian restaurant not far from their home in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Both brothers were born in Canada, but for the past decade the family had lived in the US. The boys’ father, Donald Heathfield, had studied in Paris and at Harvard, and now had a senior role at a consultancy firm based in Boston. Their mother, Tracey Foley, had spent many years focused on raising her children, before taking a job as a real estate agent….
Then one day after decades of clandestine activity, the FBI showed up and then theiir adult children learned the truth.
Quote :
They streamed into the house, screaming, “FBI!” Another team entered from the back; men dashed up the stairs, shouting at everyone to put their hands in the air. Upstairs, Tim had heard the knock and the shouting…
The parents faked having a Canadian background with identies stolen from dead Canadia citizens. The children knew their parents as Donald Heathfieldand Tracey Foley. The actual names of the parents and subsequent Russian spies were Andrei Bezrukov and Elena Vavilova
Quote :
…They were both born in the Soviet Union, had undergone training in the KGB and been dispatched abroad as part of a Soviet programme of deep-cover secret agents, known in Russia as the “illegals”. After a slow-burning career building up an ordinary North American background, the pair were now active agents for the SVR, the foreign spy agency of modern Russia and a successor to the KGB. They, along with eight other agents, had been betrayed by a Russian spy who had defected to the Americans… …In 2012, the Wall Street Journal reported that unnamed US officials claimed an FBI bug placed at the family’s Boston home had picked up the parents revealing their true identities to Tim long before the arrest. Furthermore, the officials said, his parents had told Tim they wanted to groom him as a Russian spy. A second-generation spy would be a much more impressive asset than first-generation illegals, who had built up personas that were solid but not impregnable to background checks. Tim, according to the unnamed officials, agreed he would travel to Moscow for SVR training and even “saluted Mother Russia”. (Editor’s note: This was exactly like the character, Paige, in the show, The Americans.)
Truth is indeed stranger than fiction.
[size=42]The Americans Is the Fulfillment of Long-Term Soviet Strategy to Bring Down America[/size]
After Viktor Suvorov, a former Russian intelligence analyst, defected to England, he revealed Russia’s top-secret plans to attack the United States at some future date after undermining the United States from within through the subversion of their political leadership. Suvorov had worked as a Russian intelligence analyst as well as having worked for the GRU and with elite Russian special forces, Suvorov, warned the Americans of Russia’s true intentions after the Russian high command had succeeded in getting Pentagon officials to let down their guard and engage in a high level, but mostly one-sided, technology transfer. And under the wrong President (i.e. Obama), America would be weakened to the point to where it could not adequately defend herself. Anatoliy Golitsyn, a high-ranking KGB defector fled to the United States in order to warn Americans about the secret Russian plan to attack the United States. Golitsyn is generally considered to be among the first and most revealing on the subject of the secret Russian plans to attack America after faking the demise of the old Soviet Union. He authored the The Perestroika Deception in which Golitsyn wrote about the deceitful intent behind the Leninist strategy which the present-day Communists are actively pursuing as they fake American style democratization efforts in Russia. From within, American leadership would be compromised in key positions, and the fall of America would be orchestrated from within and under the leadership of an Obama type of President. Golitsyn and Suvorov were only two of dozens of Soviet defectors who told exactly the same story dating back to the 1960’s.
[size=42]How High Up Does This Plot Go?[/size]
Did the Russians, actually capture the White House? And was Hillary supposed to be the second generation trader to serve as President. And could the Russian collusion delusion just a smokescreen by diverting attention away from the Obama/Clinton treasonous intentions with Russia to bring down America? Obama’s communist affiliations ar wlel documented because of the good work of Joel Gilbert who discovered that Obama was active with a Weathermen Underground support group known as The May 19th Communist Organization, in New York.Perhaps, this is why Ayers was visiting the White House. And speaking of Ayers and Dorne, adding more fuel to this communist fire, it is interesting to note that both Senior White House Advisors, David Axelrod and Valerie Jarrett were both Weatherman Underground “Red Diaper Babies, in which they were the sons and daughters of well-to-do parents who desired communism and lived out their dreams through their children’s revolutionary activities. Other notable red-diaper babies also includes such notables as Rahm Emanuel and Eric Holder. Jarrett’s situation is particularly interesting in that her family and the Ayers family have been multi-generational friends which also included a marriage between the two families. As an aside, I am not sure the Roseanne did not attack Jarrett over some of these issues. Speculation only, but could Roseanne, been acting at the behest of Trump when she threw down the gauntlet? Much of the Obama administration is a nest of communists and this should serve to gravely concern every American citizen. It was Ayers and Dorne who launched State Senatorial candidate Obama’s political career from their Hyde Park, IL. living room according to the late Larry Grathwohl a former FBI undercover operative who penetrated the Weathermen Underground. Hollywood could not write a movie this good, with this much intrigue. Frank Chapman, a communist activist and a meThe Communist Party USA backs Obama to the hilt mber of the communist front group known as the World Peace Council. Chapman clearly used the term “mole” to describe Obama. He said Obama’s political climb and subsequent success in the 2008 Democratic presidential primaries was “a dialectical leap ushering in a qualitatively new era of struggle.” Chapman further stated that, “Marx once compared revolutionary struggle with the work of the mole, who sometimes burrows so far beneath the ground that he leaves no trace of his movement on the surface. This is the old revolutionary ‘mole,’ not only showing his traces on the surface but also breaking through. “.” It is clear that Obama is their man! Obama is Putin 2.0 and they could very well have been working together and Trump interrupted the plot to bring down America.
[size=42]Was Roseanne Acting On Behalf of Trump with Her Twitter Storm?[/size]
I have never revealed this before because I was told not to by both my father and two indivduals with intelligence backgrounds. However, this is now out in the public domain. The second generation traitor in America is not just Soviet phenomenon. It is also a Nazi phenomenon and a Muslim Brotherhood phenomenon. Do you see why I think Roseanne may have been acting on behalf of Trumpwith her blisstering attack on Jarrett and linking her to the Muslim Brotherhood in her tweeting tirade? There are almost 50 members of Congress that have dual citizenship. That is unacceptable. And as Trevor Louden pointed out in his work, Enemies Within, there are at least 80 members of Congress who have joined the dark side in which they belong to front groups for the Muslim Brotherhood and the Communist Party. How many of these 80 are second generation spies.? This needs to be investigated by looking at their parents background. In fact, how much of the Deep State is involved in this plot.
Elizabeth Warren, the Trojan Horse of the Middle Class. She and Senator Kamala Harris are Muslim Brotherhood sympathizers. I am not talking Muslims or the religion of Islam, I am referring to the most senior terrorist group in the world, the Muslim Brotherhood. These 2 belong to their front organizations for the Muslim Brotherhood. Trevor Louden has fully exposed this in his new documentary, The Enemies Within. Over 80 Democrats in Congress fit this MO. And now you know why they had a tantrum when Trump is trying to pass immmigration in order to screen immigrants who come from a part of the world that rightfullly hates America. Does this fit the definition of treason? Why do Warren and Harris care if immigrants are screened?
https://youtu.be/RakKobugwCk
Again, how much of the Deep State is involved in this undercover take over of America? We onder about the un-American attitudes of the left. Perhaps it is because many of them are not Americans. How much have we been taken over?

Subject: REALITY CHECK: MAJOR CORPORATIONS INFLUENCING GUN CONTROL? Thu May 31, 2018 10:42 pm
REALITY CHECK: MAJOR CORPORATIONS INFLUENCING GUN CONTROL? Published: May 31, 2018
https://youtu.be/Tymuscj5sbk
Major institutions across the U.S. are taking a stand in the debate over gun control. Many gun control advocates believe this is a great move by American corporations. But what does it mean when corporations are punishing customers for behavior that is not illegal? Could these businesses become moral police? This is a Reality Check you won’t get anywhere else. In response to the latest mass shooting event in Parkland, Florida, major corporations and banks are now instituting their own gun control policies. Let’s first look at how banks are getting involved. Bank of America announced just 10 days after the parkland shooting that it would begin conversations with its customers who manufacture guns to, “examine what we can do to help end the tragedy of mass shootings.” Then in mid-March Citigroup revealed it would institute its own restrictions on gun manufacturer clients. The bank has since banned its business customers from selling guns to anyone under 21, and from selling high-capacity magazines and bump stocks altogether. And now, Bank of America will no longer lend to gun manufacturers, including current loan customers Vista Outdoors and Remington.
WHILE BANKS ARE PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS, THERE ARE QUESTIONS HERE ABOUT WHY BANKS WOULD NOT LEND TO COMPANIES THAT ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING ILLEGAL, BUT THAT THE BANK’S EXECUTIVES SIMPLY DON’T AGREE WITH.
According to Bank of America’s annual shareholder meeting in April, a shareholder named Justin Danhof, the director of the free enterprise project, asked CEO Brian Moynihan how much business the bank was sending away, noting that Warren Buffett said he wouldn’t make a similar move in his business.
In response, Moynihan said that the choice was in response to those associated with the bank who were impacted by the parkland shooting. Without citing any figures, Moynihan said, “this comes from our teammates saying we have to help.” Yet Bank of America, the second largest bank in the U.S., has made a unilateral decision that imposes a political view on its employees and shareholders. Remember, these banks have trillions of dollars in assets. Bank of America alone serves 3 million small business owners in the U.S. and because their policies affect so many people, these banks can sway policy in our country without a single vote cast.
NOW, WHAT ABOUT THE MAJOR RETAILERS IN THE U.S. STEPPING INTO THE GUN CONTROL DEBATE?
According to the New York Times, Dick’s Sporting Goods and Walmart, two of the nation’s leading gun sellers, have opted to further restrict customers by raising the age to purchase any firearm to 21. Dick’s Sporting Goods has removed what it calls assault-style weapons from all of its stores’ shelves. And Walmart went even further. The retailer will stop selling toy and air guns that resemble assault-style guns.
