Divest from the Gun Industry

Divest our state pension fund from companies that profit from the sale or manufacture of guns.

Why is this important?

The normalized frequency of shooting deaths and horrific mass murders in America is terrorizing each of us going about our daily lives. Just how does the Second Amendment right to bear muskets (shooting one bullet at a time) for self-defense give license to a crazed gunman mowing down a school of six-year-olds in ten minutes? You and I are the targets of a cold-blooded gun industry that promotes paranoia and a false sense of protection to drive sales, escalating a Wild West culture in which none of us is now safe. In a theater near you. Put the pressure on our elected officials to divest from mercenary corporations selling massive weapons of war as if family-friendly shotguns, easier to buy than a six-pack of beer, assaulting our country that's already armed to the teeth.
