Vanguard and Blackrock: Divest from AR makers!

Vanguard and Blackrock own 20%+ of 3 major American assault weapon manufacturers: Sturm Ruger, American Outdoor Brands and Vista Outdoor.



My money, invested in Vanguard, is enabling mass murder and I will no longer participate.



Divest entirely from AR makers across all funds by July 1, 2018 or I will take my money elsewhere.

Why is this important?

I want to take my head out of the sand and understand the good and the bad that my money can do. We live in a country where money is sometimes put ahead of lives and I am not OK with my money being used to enable mass murder. I own Vanguard index funds that are invested in these 3 companies. So it's personal.
