When Bank of America announced its decision<\/a> to stop lending to companies that make AR-pattern rifles, it wasn\u2019t clear how the policy would affect the firearms industry. Now we know more, and it doesn\u2019t look promising.<\/p>\n

Reuters reported<\/a> earlier this week that Bank of America had contributed $43.2 million to a $193 million lending package designed to help Remington recover after emerging from bankruptcy. BoA struck the deal with Big Green before changing its firearms policy, but that didn\u2019t stop David \u201cBoycott Everything\u201d Hogg from criticizing the bank for honoring its commitment.<\/p>\n

Bank of America lied to everyone about not doing business with manufacturers of assault weapons https:\/\/t.co\/fI5czJzTcC<\/a>
\nGuess I’ll be changing my bank soon! #BoycottBankOfAmerica<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 David Hogg (@davidhogg111) May 7, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now a new Reuters report<\/a> indicates that the bank might be caving to the high schooler\u2019s pressure. Vice Chairman Anne Finucane said in a letter that \u201cRemington is aware of the policy that we subsequently announced, and that policy will dictate our future actions after the bankruptcy proceedings conclude.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLet me be clear,\u201d she continued, \u201cwe are not changing our policy to end financing of the manufacture of these military style firearms.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reuters notes that while BoA is unlikely to pull out of the deal for fear of legal action, they could sell their participation once Remington exits bankruptcy.<\/p>\n

A more troubling scenario is buried at the bottom of Reuters\u2019 original report. One corporate restructuring specialist suggested BoA could have used the new credit facility as leverage to demand that Remington stop making AR-pattern rifles.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s perfectly reasonable for them to say to any borrower, \u2018We\u2019re happy to lend to you if you don\u2019t make military-style assault weapons,\u2019\u201d said Ted Gavin of the Gavin\/Solmonese LLC restructuring advisory firm. \u201cThe lender has all the power.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is unclear whether they will seek to use that power to advance Hogg\u2019s agenda or sell their participation to another bank. Whatever they decide, their anti-gun stance poses a legitimate existential threat to the firearms industry. If other banks choose to follow BoA\u2019s lead, gun manufacturers could be forced to choose between staying in business and making AR-pattern rifles.<\/p>\n

Not all BoA\u2019s shareholders are taking the new policy lying down, however. Conservative activist Justin Danhof pointed out at a recent shareholder\u2019s meeting that the bank has an obligation to its investors to make profitable loans.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe company is willfully giving up money,\u201d Danhof said of the guns pledge.<\/p>\n

Danhof puts his finger on the silver lining of this debacle: when banks discover that virtue-signaling isn\u2019t profitable, they might reconsider their politically-motivated policies.<\/p>\n
