CalPers divests itself of gun stocks

   The Board of the California public employees retirement system voted yesterday to sell all $5 millions worth of Smith and Wesson stock it had invested in.

   They stated the reason is that they manufacture weapons that are banned in the state of California.

Really? Any Smith & Wesson has appreciated. And now CalPers wants to raise rates for health insurance. Dumb and anti American

Most Smith & Wesson products have increased in value a good investment in quality especially the ones made in USA. CalPers has proposed raising health care insurance on current and retired members 85%. A dumb move.
