Of course they want to dump gun stocks! They want to bankrupt the pension funds and the gun stocks are up.

The police union should tell him to drop dead. Gun companies are excellent investments, thanks to the Worst President Ever.

Disarm your police, mayor. Guns are bad and police are awful shots compared to ccw folks.

Don't the NYC cops understand the language of freedom as to tell the Mayor to pi$$ of a rope and s*ck the other end?

NYC, I suppose not...

So the mayor can’t stop badmouthing the police and now he tells them how to invest. FU Bill. The cops should invest in only gun and ammo stocks.

Perfect for a city filled with commie, psycho voters.

And I’d be happy to take those shares off their hands now that the market has tanked because after obozo’s recent hissy fit, they’re going back up.

Maybe gun makers should decline sales of firearms to liberal run cities’ law enforcement and see how many officers they can keep on their forces.

Maybe the Mayor should stop supporting gun makers by purchasing guns for the police department. British Bobbies make due with a whistle and a billy club, so why can’t New York’s Finest?

The gun manufacturers should stop selling guns to any NYC entity.

Firearms manufacturers are one of the few bright spots in the Obama economy. If DeBlasio wants politics to overrule into the city's investment decisions -- New York taxpayers are ultimately the ones who will pay the price.

I'm typing this on an Apple computer. If politics had anything to do with it, I wouldn't be.

NYPD:

Smith and Wesson Model 5946

Glock Model 19

– Smith and Wesson 5953 TSW

– Smith and Wesson 3914 DAO

Interesting -- the only US company in the bunch is S&W and yes, they sell a lot of ARs to the civilian market!
