You forgot the pink font.

An action like this with no means of actually forcing a private lending corporation to do what is suggested - unless the businesses decide to do it themselves as a business advantage, of course - is a patently obvious political stunt to give the 'perception' to the voters that their elected officials 'care.' Such is politics and everybody understands it.

However, to hyperbolically offer such a patently shallow action as a foreboding of our somehow emulating Nazi Germany's treatment of Unerwünschten or returning to a pre-Civil Rights era America is silly and, IMO, as equally counter-productive in the minds of thinking people seriously concerned with the on-going issues related to our right to bear arms.
