Using a financial bullying tactic, Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto renewed his efforts to push his gun-control agenda by targeting firearms manufacturers.
In a letter dated May 31, Peduto asked the Board Members of the Comprehensive Municipal Pension Trust fund to divest from firearms and ammunitions companies in the city’s investment fund valued at about $463 million.
Meanwhile, two pro-gun U.S. senators submitted a bill this month to counter efforts to prohibit financial discrimination on firearm and ammunitions companies.
