reuters | Bank of America Corp on Saturday became the latest financial heavyweight
to take aim at gunmakers, saying it would ask clients who make assault
rifles how they can help end mass shootings like last week’s massacre at
a Florida high school.
Bank of America, the second-biggest U.S. bank by assets, said its
request to makers of the military-style weapons was in line with those
taken by other financial industry companies to help prevent deadly gun
rampages.
“An immediate step we’re taking is to engage the limited number of
clients we have that manufacture assault weapons for non-military use to
understand what they can contribute to this shared responsibility,” the
Charlotte, North Carolina-based bank said in a statement.
