Democrats Vilify Guns, Own Stock in Gun Companies

By Clash Daily / 24 January 2013 / 7 comments

Several Democrats who have come out against the evils of guns since the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary have also made money by investing in gun companies. Many are still making money with investments in those manufacturers now, even as they attempt to ban their products.

Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), for example, is a proponent of an “assault weapons” ban, who in the meantime is enjoying the money her husband makes off a $50,000 investment in the Vanguard Small Cap Growth Index fund. As of Jan. 18, that fund included 219,918 shares of stock in Ruger Firearms.

Meanwhile, Senator Clair McCaskill (D-MO) has approximately $100,000 in the iShare Russell 2000 Growth Index. That fund held 254,290 shares of stock in Ruger Firearms as of Jan. 18, along with shares of Smith & Wesson as well.

Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA) has approximately $100,000 in the iShares S&P Small Cap 600 Growth Index–a fund which was the “the 16th largest holder” of Ruger Firearms stock as of mid-January.

You can’t prove these lies. I bet it isn’t true.

  I’ll bet no one cares what you think, since you’re an attention seeking troll. Why did you choose clashdaily.com to pollute?

  Okay Todd, I’ll bite. The financial firm TIAA-CREF handles retirement investments for some Democrats including Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass) in Washington. TIAA-CREF invests in Smith and Wesson and Strum, Ruger, and Co. Senator Tom Harken (D-Iowa) has $100,000 invested in an S&P Company who is the largest investor of Smith and Ruger.
  
  I could go on and on. The left in Washington are completely hypocritical where guns are concerned. There actions aren’t about guns at all. They just want more power. More power would give them access to enough money to satisfy their greed urges. They think that but, when someone is addicted to greed more is never enough. They will not be satisfied until they have redistributed as much of the wealth as possible in the US from the middle class to their pockets. Oh, yet they will make token hand outs to Latinos and welfare recipients to keep the ones allowing them to stay in power mollified. But, you can bet most of the money stolen from the American public will go into the pockets of upper class liberals.
  
  Todd, you had better wise up and grow up.

Where is our lame stream media with this information ?

Why is it the progressive liberals that steal guns then go
and kill movie goers and children in school have never been a conservative NRA
member?

Ft Hood Shooter
- Registered Democrat- Muslim

Columbine Shooters – Too young to vote- both families were registered
democrats and progressive liberals – as with the twit that shot Congress
woman Giffords, and 2 or 3 others.

Virginia Tech Shooter- Wrote hate mail to Pres Bush and to his staff. Registered
Democrat

Colorado Theater Shooter – Registered Democrat, staff worker on
the Obama campaign, occupy wall street participant, progressive liberal

Connecticut School Shooter- Registered Democrat, hated christians,

Common thread is that all of these shooters were progressive
liberal democrats.” Interesting…isn’t
it?

Maybe it should be illegal for them to buy guns?

The Sandy Hook Massacre

The Sandy Hook Massacre: When Seconds Count, the Police are Minutes Away:

"Doug Giles and his team over at ClashDaily.com cut through the crap to expose what have become modern day human slaughter houses: gun free zones. Their candid arguments about allowing teachers to protect themselves and the students in their care through concealed carry should be taken seriously. As a result maybe, just maybe, we’ll be able to save some lives someday rather than call the cops to report the body count." - Katie Pavlich. News Editor,Townhall.com and NYT's Best-selling Author, Fast and Furious: Barack Obama's Bloodiest Scandal and Its Shameless Cover-Up

"There were many lessons to draw from the horrific Newtown, CT school shooting. Unfortunately, most of the media and political Left came up with the wrong ones. But not Doug Giles and his writers over at ClashDaily.com. In the wake of this horror, they offered a robust defense of American citizens' right to bear arms and common sense answers to societal violence. The Sandy Hook Massacre: When Seconds Count, the Police are Minutes Away is a great resource for those interested in this vital, Constitutional issue." - S.E. Cupp, MSNBC Host and The Blaze Contributor
