It also requests an assessment of "reputational and financial risks related to gun violence in the U.S." The report is due on February 8, 2019.

Her organization was one of four shareholders who spoke at the meeting, and all of them asked the Ruger executives what they were going to do about gun violence and gun safety. "We as shareholders are saying that gun violence is significant enough that you, as a gun company, need to address what your responsibility to gun safety is," Scanlon told CNNMoney.
