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):

“give each altar boy a pistol”
Or at least a rape whistle.
Imagine The Flying Nun flying over Puerto Rico carrying a BAR.
Pay attention to the rape of young boys by your priests
“Faith-Based Anti-Gun Coalition Formed to Take Down a Gun Manufacturer...From The Inside Out”
Oh, the same people who gave the Land of 10,000 Lakes 100,000 Somalis.
“Because of left-wing crap like this is why I did a # walkaway from the catholic “church” in 1980’s “
Pretty much all of organized “religion”.
So, who is going to be left to defend the first amendment if the the second is defeated?
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Amendment II
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
“These are the Social Justice Catholics ...”
There is a notorious one in Chicago...”Father” Michael Pfleger. One of the worst of the worst. His boss, Cardinal Blaise Cupich isn’t much better.
Time to start taxing the Church, as a political organization.
Bring RICO charges against it
as a Pedophilia case.
That will get the ball rolling.
“Too bad they do not support gun safety groups like the NRA to teach safety.”
Their version of gun safety is a euphemism for no guns at all.
Sounds un American to me. I like the Israel method of all serve the military and open carry of machine guns is allowed for personal protection.
Catholic groups need to stop thug priests from raping children. Until that’s done they have ZERO credibility.
Wonder what those Saints would say.
S&W should issue the following report:
“We make guns that don’t shoot unless the trigger is pulled. That is all the safety a gun needs.”
Or better yet, since this is nothing more than a publicity stunt, tell the Catholics they are right on it and will send them a report when it's finished. Every time they ask where the report is just tell them they are still working on it. After 10 or 20 years of this little dance; maybe the Catholics will sell their measly 200 shares and find something more productive to do like rooting out pedophilia in their church.
Be aware many so called Catholic groups are along the lines of “Catholics for Choice.” Others are in good standing but seem to forget prudential judgment when it comes to such matters as gun policy.
Oh nuns and sisters. Enough said. Many are in rebellion against Christ and the Church.
Ok, Poop Francis, now tear down the walls in Vatican City, sell all the guns you own and then we'll talk. We need to tax the Catholic Church, especially if they want to get into politics!!!
