Nice momentum so far ... Blackrock below. Krogers owned Fred Myers, LL Bean not selling to under 21, Delta etc.
Not really sure how much of this will really help but corporate America is getting (the beginnings of) a social conscience re: guns which is good.

The world's largest money manager is breaking its silence on the nation's current gun debate.
In a client update outlining its approach to the gun industry on Friday, BlackRock said last month's deadly shooting at a Florida high school has driven home for the firm the "terrible toll from gun violence" in this country, something that "requires response and action from a wide range of entities across both the public and private sectors."
That includes, it says, possibly voting against directors or against management on shareholder proposals. The firm said it has been working with customers to help them explore options for changing their investments to exclude gun industry stocks and is exploring ideas for new funds, including index funds that specifically exclude firearms makers and retailers.
