Divest from the gun industry

Dear Governor,
After the shootings at Sandy Hook, many hedge funds, private equity firms, as well as city & state pension funds divested tens of millions of dollars from the gun industry. A year later, there are still funds and firms profiting from murder. If they divest, it'll weaken the gun industry's political power and clear the way for commonsense gun violence prevention laws.

Why is this important?

There are way too many children dieing because of gun violence. We are the most armed country in the world, so saying that owning guns prevents violence is an absolute falsehood.
