Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is putting more pressure on gun makers to get behind his push for an assault weapons ban and criminal background checks for gun purchasers.
This time, he wants to go after their bottom line.
Emanuel is pushing two major financial institutions to stop their financial backing of gun makers, unless those companies support [new gun laws].
In a letter sent Friday to the CEOs of Bank Of America and TD Bank, the mayor is urging that banks to stop lines of credit, financing for acquisitions and expansions and financial advising.
