One of Parkland, Fla.'s most prominent student activists on stopping gun violence has called for a boycott of Vanguard and BlackRock, two of the world's biggest investors in gunmakers.
In a post on Twitter on Tuesday, David Hogg remarked on the firms' ownership of gun maker stocks, adding "if you use them, feel free to let them know." Then he added two tags: BoycottVanguard BoycottBlackrock.

What's next? Maybe Hogg will demand that everyone boycott products from Burgundy. After all, Burgundy has the word "gun" in it.

Too much of my retirement funds are in cash or equivalents. So I am going to have to take a look at Vanguard and BlackRock.

Waste of effort with Vanguard, they’re investor owned. The customers would be boycotting themselves.

Vanguard are passive funds that match various market indexes. The own stock in gun manufacturers because they own stock in all publicly traded companies. Idiot punk.

No one is forcing Hogg to buy a gun.
He has no right to tell other people not to buy them.

Vanguard is most likely invested in quite the number of companies. Besides, they provide security. Who doesn’t want security for their business? This sounds like a stupid idea to me in terms of what he wants to hurt.
