Bank of America says it’s reexamining its relationships with gun manufacturers in the wake of widespread boycotts targeting the National Rifle Association (NRA). The boycotts followed a deadly shooting at Marjory Douglas Stoneman High School in Parkland, Florida, in which 17 people were killed.
“We are joining other companies in our industry to examine what we can do to help end the tragedy of mass shootings, and 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,” a Bank of America spokesperson said in a statement to Axios (https://www.axios.com/corporate-america-flexes-against-guns-1519482689-612f054b-6ea4-487b-b7fe-7bd36db6b446.html?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic) on Saturday.
