Get Lost, Nuns!

SPRINGFIELD — With $2,000 worth of stock, a network of nuns and a Catholic health care organizations are once again asking gunmaker Smith & Wesson to adopt a statement on human rights and to make a public accounting of the cost of gun violence.
Company management — remembering the strong backlash to Smith & Wesson’s Clinton-era overtures to gun safety advocates — said adopting the sort of human rights policy the nuns are looking for would alienate supporters in the “firearms enthusiast community,” according to Smith & Wesson documents filed in the run-up to the vote.
The request for a human rights policy modeled on the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights goes before stockholders Tuesday, Oct. 13, at Smith & Wesson’s annual shareholders meeting.
The initiative is backed by the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility which includes the Northwest Coalition for Responsible Investments the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary U.S.-Ontario and the Adrian Dominican Sisters and others.
They’re being old biddies and mother hens for the world because they missed their calling in life.
First of all, go pound sand and get lost.
Second, you’re designed to be married, wife of one husband, and mother to children. Go do what you’ve been designed to do and then maybe you wouldn’t have so much time to be nosy, gossip and meddle in the affairs of others.

I would like to see some enterprising conservative tax lawyer file a complaint with the IRS. Is this not political activity? Threaten the Catholic church tax exempt status and I suspect they will shut up rather rapidly. They need that tax exempt status to pay off the pedo victims.

Smith and Wesson went bankrupt in the 90’s when the Brit company that
owned it let its CEO cut a deal with blue dress Willie that gave the feds
private info on every purchaser. No one bought from them and they tanked
so fast that they sold out their name for a throwaway 2 million dollars.
Be warned S&W. It will happen again.
As to the Catholic Church allowing nuns to play this game?
My contributions are going to be very limited in placement.

these nuns who claim to be OF “the Holy Name of Jesus” must not be talking about the same Jesus I know. He toLD his closest followers to take a sword with them on their travels. If you don’t have a sword, sell your coat and buy one.
this does not seem consistent with the sanitised milquietoast sorry excise of a “jesus” these uppity females align with. “You syLord Lord, butI say depart from me I never knew you”.
Sily wymmin. Its all aobut the feeelzzzz with this type.
