Chicago Mayor Wants Banks To Boycott Gun Firms

So, how are his cops going to brutalize city residents?

|

Mayor Rahm Emanuel is taking his gun control push to private banks and asking major lenders in Chicago to stop doing business with firearms manufacturers.

In a letter to TD Bank and Bank of America on Thursday, Mr. Emanuel asked the CEOs to force gun manufacturers they do business with to "find common ground with the vast majority of Americans who support a military weapons and ammunition ban."

TD Bank provides $60 million in credit to Smith & Wesson; Bank of America provides a $25 million line to Sturm, Ruger & Co.
