"gun violence" is ....recoil
Every time I hear that phrase, or something like it, I am reminded of a scene from the old TV show "ALL IN THE FAMILY"
(if you're too young to remember it, look it up. It was made back in the days when people still understood that there is a difference between a bigot and a racist)
any way, the point is there was one scene, where the (liberal) daughter was bemoaning "xx thousand people are killed with guns every year..." (I no longer remember if the topic was suicide or something else)
Archie's response was, essentially "would you be happier if they had jumped out of a window???"
As far as stock in a company is concerned, when you buy stock, you are buying a SHARE of the company. You OWN a share of the company, equivalent to the amount of stock you buy. Your stock, your share, you get a voice in what the company does. The bigger the share, the larger the voice.
its the joy of a publicly traded company. A nutcase, with enough money, can buy a controlling share, then they get to make the decisions. Not a new thing at all.
AND, something which if you think about it, shows the hypocrisy of the billionaires who fund gun control.
If they actually MEANT to do something to counter "gun violence", they could simply BUY the gun companies (they have enough money) and then shut them down, if they choose.
They don't do that. They don't even try to do that. Ever wonder why???
