A trade association representing the gun industry backed Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. acting Chair Travis Hill to serve in the role full-time, according to a letter sent to Senate Banking Committee leadership obtained by Punchbowl News.
The National Shooting Sports Foundation told Chair Tim Scott (R-S.C.) and top Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) in a letter dated this week that Hill had “distinguished himself” as a bank regulator who would treat controversial sectors fairly. We are once again talking about “debanking.”
