People invest their savings in firearm manufacturers and retailers raking in billions in handgun, assault rifle, and ammunition sales. Most don’t even know it. We don’t need to profit from violence when we're investing in our retirement accounts. From non-profit As You Sow, Gun Free Funds is made for people looking to align their investments with their values by moving money out of companies that make and sell guns.
With a gun free action toolkit to answer questions like how to ask your employer to provide gun free 401(k) investment options, Gun Free Funds shows you gun investments that may be hidden inside the mutual funds you own. It’s your choice - take control and make sure your investments are not profiting from “blood money.”
If you own mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs), there’s a good chance that you own shares of gun manufacturers and gun retailers profiting from the bloodshed of mass shootings and gun violence.
