How Many Guns Is Your 401(k) Buying?

After yet another public shooting took place on Wednesday—this time at UCLA in Los Angeles—it’s tempting to feel like there’s simply nothing you can do about gun violence in America. But if you’re like most working Americans, there’s one powerful step you can take today: Stop investing money in guns.

Data from Lab80, the research team behind a new financial tool called GoodbyeGunStocks, reveals that a huge number of American workers are making a high-risk, high-reward investment in the manufacturing of guns and ammunition.

Individual holdings add up to about $16.73 per worker, which might not sound like much. But imagine that investment 4, 16, or 40 years from now. Then multiply it 90 million times.
