BANKS Financing Assault Weapons Industry: BOA, Wells Fargo, Capital One, BB&T...

X-Post. Can I get some K & R for visibility (*INSIDE THE LINK) on this very important issue? Thanks!

The article is by ThinkProgress. They've recently investigated corporations that give benefits to NRA members and as a result of pressure, many dropped those ties.

Identifying banks that finance assault weapons used in mass shootings can also raise awareness and action.

Time to start putting pressure on those banks! Pardon me, I have some emails to write to my friends at BofA and JPMC.
