Read this week's Grassroots Alert! view the web version of this email NRA-ILA GRASSROOTS VOLUME 29, NUMBER 20   NEWS   "[A]ll We Need You to Do is Give us the Gun": U.K. Launches National Firearm Surrender Campaign On March 12, a two-week campaign was launched in the United Kingdom to encourage subjects of Her Majesty the Queen to surrender firearms, ammunition, weapons, and any other object even vaguely reminiscent of a gun to local police stations.   NEWS   Choke Point "Lite" Ten years ago, the Obama Administration introduced "Operation Choke Point," a program to weaponize the banking industry and financial service providers against certain lawful businesses and merchants. Implemented by Eric Holder's Department of Justice and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the ostensible objective was to fight consumer fraud by cutting off access to credit and bank services for businesses classified as "high risk" (e.g., online gambling sites, escort services, payday loan operations, and those that had a higher incidence of consumer complaints, returns, or chargebacks).   NEWS   ATF Partners with Anti-gun Researchers to Expand Agency's Power On May 17, the Department of Justice announced the release of a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives publication titled the National Firearms in Commerce and Trafficking Assessment (NFCTA). The report is the result of the Biden-Harris Administration's April 2021 "Initial Actions to Address the Gun Violence," which called for the creation of "an annual report on firearms trafficking." The May 17 release is the first volume in a planned four-volume series.   Attending NRA Annual Meetings? Don't Forget to RSVP for the NRA-ILA 2022 Political Update!
