Wells Fargo Bucked Corporate Gun Control By Issuing $40 Million In Credit To Sturm, Ruger, & Co.
Bloomberg reports that the $40 million is on top of $431 million Wells Fargo has issued to gun manufacturers since the December 14, 2012, Sandy Hook attack. This means Wells Fargo is not only bucking the corporate gun control trend in 2018 but has also withstood the firearm divestiture campaign that launched following Sandy Hook.
