The following is a cut and paste from an article on the Internet.
This cut and paste is NOT the complete article see the link at the end for the complete article.
*********************
Shareholders of gunmaker Sturm Ruger voted Wednesday for the company to prepare a report on the human rights impact of its business, following a series of recent deadly mass shootings in the United States.

The manufacturer’s annual meeting approved a proposal by members of the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility, which are also shareholders of Sturm Ruger, that calls for a human rights impact assessment, the ICCR said in a statement.

“Proponents successfully made the case to their fellow shareholders that gunmakers could not abdicate their roles and responsibilities in helping to stem the carnage perpetrated with the products they sell to the public,” ICCR said.

The company, i.e., Ruger management, urged shareholders to reject the passage of the proposal. Hopefully they will issue a report concluding that their business enhances Human Rights by providing the means for self-defense and to deter tyranny, and that will be the end of it.
 
Have you heard of the ESG model that is rapidly coming upon us? I "think" some of this ties in. How does what one produces fit with what is going on in the world currently - i.e. what does gun manufacturing have to do with gun violence and what is Ruger's part in curbing it. Even to the point of punishing a company by not lending them money. I could be way off of the connection but it sounds eerily similar.
