Has Joe Biden fired the first subtle shot in his war on guns by “interfering in the affairs†of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and pausing publication of a new rule designed to protect small businesses “fair access†to bank surfaces?
That’s what
The Outdoor Wire is reporting. After the OCC “paused publication†if the new rule, an official with the National Shooting Sports Foundation ripped the move.
“The first salvo in the gun control fight has begun and the Biden Administration has fired the first shot by improperly interfering in the affairs of the OCC which is an independent agency,†National Shooting Sport Foundation’s Senior Vice President and General Counsel Larry Keane.
The OCC put things on hold less than two weeks after NSSF hailed finalizing the rule ending discrimination “by financial service providers against the firearm industry and others.â€
At the time, Keane noted in a statement, “NSSF has championed fair access to financial services for the firearm and ammunition industry and is pleased to witness the end of unfair and politically-motivated discriminatory practices by banking institutions that have a legal duty to service all legal businesses. This rule will ensure large financial institutions that are supported by taxpayer-funded resources like insurances must provide fair and equal access to services based on their objective financial creditworthiness, and not based on ‘woke’ political considerations.â€
But those good spirits have changed dramatically.
