Emanuel, Burke move to force the hand of banks on gun control
ayor Rahm Emanuel wants banks doing business with the city to set gun-control sales restrictions on their business customers.
It’s a potentially far-reaching measure that could raise the media-conscious mayor’s national profile on a much-covered issue.
Emanuel and influential 14th Ward Ald. Edward Burke, who also knows a thing or two about getting headlines on hot-button topics, have introduced the “Safe Guns Policy” ordinance. The measure would require banks and financial institutions that work with the city to only take on arms-selling customers if they set certain restrictions.
That includes selling guns or bullets only to people 21 or older; requiring background checks on all gun sales; banning the sale of bump stocks that allow semi-automatic weapons to fire bullets at nearly the speed of machine guns; and not selling high-capacity magazines.
