Despite continual debate about gun control many Americans are likely unaware of their investments in gun manufacturers. Through mutual funds, index funds and exchange-traded funds, many Americans have unknowingly invested in gun companies. After Vista Outdoor announced the sale of Savage Arms last month, American Outdoor Brands (AOB) and Sturm Ruger are the only remaining publicly traded gun manufacturing companies in the United States. AOB has a market capitalization of $465 million, while Sturm has a cap worth $765 million, making them both small-cap stocks, according to financial services firm Morningstar. |

Investing in an industry that has intrinsic constitutional protection isn't a bad idea.

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
