If for some reason the liberals manage to sell off enough stocks to negatively affect the price (doubtful as it will be done a few shares at a time), the rest of the market will snap them up and eagerly await dividends from the next profit cycle. Sturm Ruger has been working full out for years trying to meet demand.

A bunch of kids who listen to rap songs glorifying guns are going to divest of gun stocks because they are offended by them.

Yeah....

So social media will cause large numbers of people to go wading through the boilerplate of their 401K plans to determine whether or not they include any stock in gun makers.

Riiiiiiiiiighht!!!

I’m not sure what you mean...

Guys like that pi$$ me off because I have worked my a$$ off for 10 years to get GA gun laws changed...

It takes one really stupid dumba$$ to change lots of minds quickly...

GA should be constitutional carry...

The reaction to this will make the Chick-fil-a episode seem small... I bought gun stock at $5/share... It’s been as high as $85... Time to buy more...

stupid liberals

Exactly... it seems they don’t understand that the market clears, so when they sell their shares, someone else has to buy those shares.

They are effectively punishing themselves by not participating in the profits of the gun industry and transferring those profits to pro gun people (who might use that money to join the NRA). I love their plan...

if anyone really wants to put people over profits, then they need to go after the banksters.

“You do not know the facts...

This was NOT a responsible armed citizen. He came to a little league field with his firearm tucked in his waistband, boasting about it and drawing lots of attention. It upset people so much that they canceled the game...

He never removed it... He never threatened anyone... He had a valid GWL (permit)... The local police could do nothing but in this mans opinion, you are going to see LOTS of this from the gun grabbers...”

We have not seen any video of it, so we do not know the facts. What is clear is that he did not do anything unlawful, or he would have been arrested. No one can control how “upset” other people get. Only they can control that. I wish there was video. Dozens of “upset” parents at a kids game, and none of them took any video, not even still pictures?

It makes me very suspicious of the presence of a few hoplophobe activists stirring everyone up to create an “incident”.

It is very telling that no one was arrested.

“The gun manufacturers of America cannot be swayed by reason.”

Could anyone change the “manufacturers” to “grabbers”? Not sure how to do it, but it’s certainly needed.
