NEW YORK, April 13 (Reuters) - Wells Fargo & Co believes the U.S.
government, rather than banks, should set rules to promote gun safety,
its finance chief said on Friday.
The No. 3 U.S. lender has been
talking to customers who legally manufacture firearms, but is “not
currently setting policy, , , , ,
. . . . in our extension of credit,” Chief Financial
Officer John Shrewsberry said during a call with reporters.
Major
financial firms have been under pressure from gun-control activists to
limit their support for firearms makers and retailers since 17 people
died in a school shooting in Florida in February.
