Breaking the Bank

JPMorgan Chase recently announced the banking giant’s policy of denying services to manufacturers of Modern Sporting Rifles (MSRs) is over.

About damn time for all of them, and Morgan has been particularly offensive.

Maybe they can get some more of those “Always Think Forfeiture” Leathermans made up…

So, yet again, government creates problems it uses as an excuse to crack down on those of us paying for it. And this time, it’s “law and order Republicans.”
