Good morning. The massacre in Uvalde, Texas, this week was the deadliest shooting at a school in the United States in a decade, and it revived the nation’s deep divide over gun control. At a time when corporate America is under increasing pressure to take a stand on political and social issues, some of the nation’s biggest banks continue to do business with gunmakers in Texas. In part that’s because a new law there requires companies to say they don’t “discriminate” against the gun industry — or risk losing lucrative business with the state. The Texas law is the first of its kind in the nation, but similar ones are working their way through state legislatures.

The stakes are high for big banks. If a bank states that it is in compliance with the law and is found to be otherwise, it could face criminal prosecution. It could also be shut out of the state’s giant municipal bond market. Texas is one of the biggest bond issuers in the country, and Wall Street has long made lucrative — and relatively risk-free — fees underwriting municipal bonds. With $50 billion in annual borrowing, Texas generated $315 million in fees last year alone for financial firms, according to data from Bloomberg.

From 2015 to 2020, JPMorgan underwrote 138 Texas bond deals, raising $19 billion for the state, and generating nearly $80 million in fees for the bank, according to Bloomberg data. But the bank has been shut out of working for the state since the law went into effect in September. This month, JPMorgan submitted a bid to underwrite a $3.4 billion bond issue for utilities, the largest in the state’s history. It would not be able to secure that contract until it is certified under the new law, known as S.B. 19.

As large companies grapple with how to respond to national tragedies and looming social issues, including the debate over gun control or abortion, laws like S.B. 19 make it harder to take a stance. The result is a corporate tug of war playing out across the country, as companies try to appease large, vocal employee bases and advocacy groups without alienating customers and advocates on the other side of the political spectrum — all while trying not to run afoul of local regulations that could hurt their bottom line.

The Texas law is the first of its kind in the country. Similar ones — described by gun industry lobbyists as FIND laws, or firearm industry nondiscriminatory legislation — are working their way through least 10 statehouses, including in Oklahoma and West Virginia, according to the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence. This year, Wyoming passed a law that allows gun companies to sue banks and other firms that refuse to do business with them.

Some states, however, seem less poised to pass this kind of gun legislation. In March, a bill that would have mandated bank services for gun companies in Arizona was stalled by Republican lawmakers who said that the government should not step in to tell banks to whom they have to lend. In Louisiana, a law similar to S.B. 19 passed both the State House and Senate in 2021, but it was ultimately vetoed by Gov. John Bel Edwards, a Democrat.

Mark Oliva, a spokesman for National Shooting Sports Foundation, an industry trade group, said that FIND laws were needed because over the past few years gun companies had increasingly been denied services by the nation’s largest banks. The group has been helping to push similar laws outside of Texas. “We have presented to Congress proof from our member companies that they have been denied access to the banking industry, and access to capital, simply because they make firearms, which are a legal product and the right to own them is protected by the Second Amendment,” Mr. Oliva said.

Dru Stevenson, a professor at the South Texas College of Law in Houston who has studied S.B. 19, called the Texas and other FIND laws bad public policy. He said the laws would most likely add to the proliferation of guns and could raise borrowing costs for cities, utilities and other government agencies. He also suggested that the law could have the effect of diverting more loans to gun shops and the gun industry in general as banks tried to stay in compliance. JPMorgan also raised concerns about “overly broad or results-driven interpretations” of the law.

“Banks have to think twice about rejecting a loan for a gun store because the law forces them to justify, unlike other small business loans, why they rejected it,” Mr. Stevenson said.
