A February 5th Reuters report shows that staunch gun control proponents President Obama and Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) both own stock in gun companies. Obama owns his stock through an Illinois pension plan which, in turn, “has about $5 million invested directly in several gun and ammo makers.” Durbin owns his stock through the S Fund, a “federal retirement benefit” that owns stock in gun manufacturers. So both men own their stock indirectly, but they own it nonetheless. According to Reuters, Obama “has up to $100,000” invested into the Illinois pension plan “from his days in the Illinois General Assembly.” That pension plan owns stock in Smith & Wesson Holdings and Sturm Ruger, two large firearms manufacturers, as well as Vista Outdoor and Olin, two prominent ammunition makers. Durbin has “an S Fund investment of about 115,000,” which means he is not only a “leading advocate” for more gun control but also an investor in funds that hold stocks in gun makers. Moreover, former Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY-4th) — a gun control advocate extraordinaire — “held shares worth between $3,003 and $45,000 in at least three exchange-traded funds with stakes in gun and ammo companies … while in office.” And
