to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform of the House of Representatives, the FDIC and the Department of Justice may have misled Congress about this partnership in connection with Operation Choke Point. (10) Committee language in both the House of Representatives and Senate versions of the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015 ( Public Law 113–235 ) completely defunded Operation Choke Point. (11) In order to salvage Operation Choke Point, the FDIC removed firearms sales and ammunition sales from the list of high-risk industries. (12) Even after that action, however, there is evidence that the FDIC and the Department of Justice continue to use Operation Choke Point to target firearms dealers such as Hawkins Guns LLC of Hawkins, Wisconsin. (13) There is evidence that the targeting of Hawkins Guns LLC is far from an isolated incident. (14) It has become clear that the FDIC and the Department of Justice can no longer be trusted to carry out Operation Choke Point without targeting the Second Amendment and firearm dealers and manufacturers. (b) Purpose The purpose of this Act is to terminate Operation Choke Point and any similar program that attempts to infringe upon the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States or eradicate the manufacture and sale of firearms and ammunition. 3. Protection of the Second Amendment No amounts appropriated or otherwise made available under any provision of law enacted before, on, or after the date of enactment of this Act, nor any amounts derived from any fee or other source, may be used by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Department of Justice, or any other Federal agency to carry out Operation Choke Point or any other program designed to discourage the provision or continuation of credit or the processing of payments by financial institutions for dealers and manufacturers of firearms and ammunition.
