The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) is currently accepting public comment on a proposed rule that would take politics and ideology out of banking (deadline is Jan. 4). Big banks have recently caved to pressure by anti-gun activists, refusing to do business with gun manufacturers, salesman and gun shops (along with other legal industries such as fossil fuels). This rule will ensure banks cannot arbitrarily deny their services based solely on ideological grounds.
If you wish to support this rule and ensure the industry and small gun shop owners are treated fairly, you can submit a comment to the OCC docket in support of its proposed rule. Link to submit a comment: Fair Access to Financial Services https://beta.regulations.gov/commenton/OCC-2020-0042-0001
