Andy Barr (R-Ky.) that addresses \u201cwoke\u201d banking that discriminates against the firearms and other industries disfavored by \u201cWall Street\u201d elites&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nssf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/NSSFKeaneLtrTXAGPaxtonReJPMorganChaseSB19Verification-CongressionalTestimony02-16-23.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"treasury-dept-claims-floridas-anti-woke-law-is-a-threat-to-national-security\" title=\"Treasury Dept. Claims Florida's 'Anti-Woke' Law is a Threat to National Security\">l<strong>ike J.P. Morgan CEO Jamie Dimond<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The irony isn\u2019t lost on the firearm industry. The warning that laws discouraging banks from discriminating against firearm manufacturers threatens national security is laughable. The firearm industry is essential to national security. Firearm manufacturers, distributors and retailers not only provide the means for law-abiding citizens to exercise their Second Amendment rights to keep and bear arms, but they also provide the tools necessary for law enforcement agencies to protect communities. The U.S. military purchases firearms and ammunition from U.S.-based firearm manufactures to \u2013 quite literally \u2013 provide for the national security of the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If corporations, including corporate banks, were given free reign to pick their own winners and losers in business based on \u201cwoke\u201d ideologies like gun control, those firearm manufacturers would be starved of the financial services they need to compete in the marketplace. They wouldn\u2019t be able to produce the legal products they sell not just to law-abiding citizens but also to the law enforcement agencies and U.S. military that relies on these tools to protect communities and the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-treasury-spied-and-lied\">Treasury Spied-and-Lied<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not just that, though. This is the same Treasury Department that spied-and-lied on Americans for exercising their Second Amendment rights. The Treasury Department\u2019s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN)&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/biden-admin-confirms-terms-maga-trump-kamala-private-bank-transaction-searches\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"treasury-dept-claims-floridas-anti-woke-law-is-a-threat-to-national-security\" title=\"Treasury Dept. Claims Florida's 'Anti-Woke' Law is a Threat to National Security\">admitted<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;to Sen. Scott (R-S.C.) in a letter that it violated the Fourth Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens that protect against illegal search and seizure when it collected the credit card purchase history from banks and credit card companies of individuals who purchased firearms and ammunition in the days surrounding Jan. 6, 2020. Treasury\u2019s FinCEN had no probable cause, and sought the information without a warrant, to place these law-abiding citizens on a government watchlist only because they exercised their Second Amendment rights to lawfully purchase firearms and ammunition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The admission came days after&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nssf.org\/articles\/treasury-secretarys-evasive-answers-remind-of-need-for-second-amendment-privacy\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"treasury-dept-claims-floridas-anti-woke-law-is-a-threat-to-national-security\" title=\"Treasury Dept. Claims Florida's 'Anti-Woke' Law is a Threat to National Security\"><strong>Treasury Secretary Yellen faced grilling<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;by House of Representatives and Senate committees, during which she dodged direct questions of the illegal search-and-seizure of private financial transactions. The day after the admission, FinCEN officials again dodged questions from Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rep. Bill Huizenga (R-Mich.) explained in a February Financial Services Committee hearing that the Treasury Department\u2019s admission it illegally spied on private accounts smacked of the ill-fated and illegal Operation Choke Point. Only now, that effort is targeting the private financial transactions of Americans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat doesn\u2019t matter what the what the name is,\u201d&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=HAlGmDhq-tI&amp;t=7171s\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"treasury-dept-claims-floridas-anti-woke-law-is-a-threat-to-national-security\" title=\"Treasury Dept. Claims Florida's 'Anti-Woke' Law is a Threat to National Security\"><strong>Rep. Huizenga said<\/strong><\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s the action of that I\u2019m very concerned about FinCEN, providing financial institutions with quote suggested search terms and merchant category codes that would be used to identify transactions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rep. Huizenga directly addressed FinCEN\u2019s spying by surveilling Americans who purchase firearms and ammunition or shopped at Cabela\u2019s or Dick\u2019s Sporting Goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI shop at Cabela\u2019s. I buy ammo. Am I on a list somehow?\u201d Rep. Huizenga asked. \u201cThat\u2026 that\u2019s what a lot of people, including myself, are asking when we\u2019ve heard this. Your agency was created to protect Americans and our national security, not to spy on them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Laws protecting against \u201cwoke\u201d Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) policies aren\u2019t a threat to national security. Banks should be banks, not an extension of special-interest agendas bent on forcing through policies that deny essential financial services to entire sectors of business that legally produce and sell their products to law-abiding citizens. The threat to national security doesn\u2019t come from laws that prevent these illegal policies. The threat comes from government agencies wielding unchecked authority to diminish \u2013 or even eliminate \u2013 the rights belonging to the people and protected by the U.S. Constitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Larry Keane\u00a0<\/strong><em>is Senior Vice President of Government and Public Affairs and General Counsel for the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nssf.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"treasury-dept-claims-floridas-anti-woke-law-is-a-threat-to-national-security\" title=\"Treasury Dept.
