RE: Florida Teachers Demand Pension Fund Dump Gunmaker Shares

in #florida7 years ago

What if we treated the gun manufacturers like the tobacco manufacturers? Through sustained PR campaigns and laws, tobacco usage is at an all-time low. People saw the risks and just don't bother with it. Is tobacco still legal? Yeah. But there's been a cultural shift. I think we could do the same with guns. Stop fetishing them. Stop making them easy to get like candy. Stop thinking you're not A Real Man without owning a rifle longer than your arm.The Japanese are starting to change their work culture after employees started committing suicide due to stress and dying at work from pure exhaustion.

It’s time for the US to look at our culture of guns being one of the most important things someone can have here.
