SAN FRANCISCO (KTVU) -- The San Francisco Board of Supervisors on Tuesday approved a measure that would ban the city employee retirement system from investing in companies that participate in firearm and ammunition manufacturing.

The resolution by the supervisors could have a ripple effect throughout the country as the debate about gun control grows in the wake of a mass shooting in Orlando two weeks ago at a gay nightclub that left 50 people dead and several others injured.

San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee is trying to gather support nationwide by asking the mayors of both Boston and New York to adopt similar legislation. New York Mayor Bill de of New York and Boston Mayor Marty Walsh could not be reached for a comment.

LOL! Avoid what's profitable.

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

Now that I think about it, I’m actually in favor of restricting San Francisco investors from investing their money based on which stocks are doing better. I’d rather seem them with a very limited set of options they agree with. Maybe when they’re broke, they’ll STFU.
