People here ask me "why do you post this crap from these far-left liberal/progressive websites?" Here is my answer:

Strum Ruger? Do they make guitars, too?
Dirty hippies have 401(k) accounts? Who knew?

So rich liberal kids are going to off load their trust fund accounts because of guns?

Yeah, really.

Like they’re all excited about redistributing THEIR wealth.

“Already, we have seen one crazed Georgia resident brandish his gun at a little league baseball game full well knowing that there was nothing the local police could do to stop him.”

I love it when liberals wet themselves with in fear of a responsible armed citizen.

Time for us to pick up a few firearms stocks when the chance presents itself.

I assume the English translation is:

Already, we have seen one crazed Yankee transplant to Georgia wet his skinny jeans when he saw a real live 12 gauge AK-47 Glock assault machine-gun holstered on another parent's belt at a little league baseball game, full well knowing that there was nothing the local police would do to send in SWAT, the US Marines, BLM, and the IRS to punish that armed, bitter-clinger potential terrorist.

How about hitting them where it hurts the most: Their profits.

A company's "profits", i.e. its net income, is unaffected by whether activists choose to sell their shares or not.

Net income comes from the revenues it makes from selling its products, not from the price of its shares.

I'm glad the enemy is stupid.

Not a new idea for the lefties. They re-invent this idea every few years and think they’ve found something new.

The gun manufacturers of America cannot be swayed by reason.

That's because the provide a product that is legal and in demand. That's the reason they use. You can only bring someone to your way of thinking by two means; reason or force. Option 1 has failed for gun grabbers. Because their arguments are not reasonable. Option 2 is all they have left. It won't be pretty.

The larger gun companies have no fear of a few bedwetting liberals offloading stocks in their 401ks. Plenty of other people who aren’t gun grabbers will take the profits.

Brandishing? Or lawfully carrying? Didn't see the story, so can't comment. If he was brandishing, then, yes, the law does address the issue, and he could have been arrested. If he was lawfully carrying, then boo-frickin'-hoo.

“Kennesaw is famous for being the Georgia town where every household is mandated to own at least one gun.”

And knives! Don’t forget knives: www.kennesawcutlery.com. There you go, Clint, a plug.
Every knife I’ve bought from them was as sharp as a razor and held an edge.

Last I heard, Ruger was over a year behind in meeting their orders. Divesting in a company with that kind of profit potential is just brilliant. /sarc.

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!!!

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

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

“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.
