State Pensions And Fund Companies Feel Heat Over Their Gun Stock Investments
Here’s my earlier link & excerpt. Hope this avoids having 2 different threads on essentially the same subject.
Question for those in the know - What’s the easiest way to dig up a list of mutual funds with investments in American Outdoor Brands (alias Smith & Wesson). I’d sure like to see it.
One more note: I’m not against guns. Heck, some of my happiest memories as a teen go back to tromping through northern Michigan’s woods in October with my high school buddy after school, usually on Fridays, trying to bag a bird or rabbit with the single-shot 16 gage shotgun my pop gave me on my 16th birthday.
