Asset managers privately supported Ruger while publicly criticizing

[0ddl0t]

Blackrock & Vanguard, asset managers largely known for their passive index funds, seemingly turned activist after the Parkland shooting by publicly backing a Catholic nun's demands for Ruger to report on how its products are used in violent crime and to study & report measures it can take to reduce gun violence.

But today we find out that the asset managers privately supported Ruger management and were just trying to publicly deflect criticism away from themselves (Parkland activist David Hogg had called for a boycott of Vanguard & Blackrock because, as index funds, they owned ~30% of the gun maker).

Ruger is just out here trying to make a legal buck and a Nun of a religion in shame now because of its leaders actions and a constant victim and child are trying to bring them. How sad as adult we allow this to happen.

If David Hogg really cared about people dying, he'd concentrate on distracted driving. 3,450 lives in 2016 alone

I know guns are evil to some. But, there are others things that are far more deadly and aren't a RIGHT.
