Those looking to do business with Chicago may need a ‘Safe Guns’ policy

By Chris Eger

Mayor Rahm Emanuel and City Council Chairman Edward Burke proposed an ordinance Wednesday to modify Chicago’s policy to require financial institutions working with the city to file a “Safe Guns Policy” affidavit.
The affidavit would force a lender to vouch that their other business customers adhere to a list of firearm regulations such as prohibiting the sale of “high-capacity magazines” or barring gun sales to those under 21.

Chicago should give our business to companies who share our values and want to be part of the solution to gun violence, not profit from it.”
To satisfy the Safe Guns Policy, financial institutions looking to work with Chicago on issues such as underwriting municipal bonds, or providing banking services would have to attest that their other clients do not sell bump stocks and high-capacity magazines, or sell firearms to those under the age of 21 or to those who do not pass a background check.
