A group of 11 Catholic groups came together to purchase stock in Smith & Wesson. The group purchased 200 shares, the minimum number required to for shareholders to demand reports from the company. Now, they want the gun manufacturer to provide a report that details what the company is doing to promote "gun safety measures" and "produce safer gun and gun products."
According to an SEC filing, which is submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), here's what the group wants to see from Smith & Wesson:
Shareholders request the Board of Directors issue a report by February 8, 2019, at reasonable expense and excluding proprietary information, on the company’s activities related to gun safety measures and the mitigation of harm associated with gun products, including the following (emphasis mine):

Catholics in Action!
See ,
I’m being nice.
The Catholic Church needs to clean up that mess and gom they have been hiding and stop trying to infringe on the right to keep and bear arms.
The Pope probably has more machine guns at his compound than many third world strongmen.
Smith & Wesson should buy 200 shares in the Catholic Church and demand a detailed report on each child that priests and nuns have raped and/or murdered.
The pics of the armory at the Vatican are pretty impressive. Someone posted them a long time ago someplace.
Does the church pay taxes on their investment?
Smith & Wesson should buy 200 shares in the Catholic Church and demand a detailed report on each child that priests and nuns have raped and/or murdered..... No chit!! sounds like a PDT move... and show up at every church meeting with demands to see in writing, what the church is doing to investigate sexual abuse of children by church clergy. EVERY MONTHLY MEETING!
Again,catholics.
Sorry, but as far as I’m concerned, the Catholic Church at this point has no moral authority to lecture anybody about anything.
And is the church going to do to make burning people at the stake safer? And being an altar boy?
Just 200 shares is enough to demand custom reports?!
Time to change the bylaws by the majority of shareholders
200 shares is not a substantial voting bloc and most certainly not a majority.
They can request until the cows come home.
Plenty of time to help “resettle refugees” too.
If they have the money to purchase shares of a gun manufacturer, surely they wouldn’t mind if the taxpayers ask them to pay their “fair share” of taxes too.
