Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, responded to Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s suggestion that banks stop working with gun makers by telling ‘the Godfather’ he’s a bully and inviting the companies involved in the gun industry to run their businesses out of Texas.
“[Y]our city’s longstanding policies stripping citizens of their
constitutional right to keep and bear arms have, in turn, produced some
of the very highest crime and murder rates in the nation,” Cruz wrote to
Emanuel, whom he suggested is pushing “a partisan agenda” at the
expense of Chicagoans.
Emanuel reportedly wrote TD Bank and Bank of America to request that they revoke the lines of credit they offer to Sturm, Ruger, and Co., and Smith & Wesson, respectively, unless those weapons manufacturers back gun control measures.
