Original Note:
The note states Blackrock does not directly own shares in certain weapons manufacturing businesses in the USA. This is factually incorrect. BlackRock is the largest shareholder in weapons manufacturer Sturm, Ruger, & Company, owning 15.9% of shares, worth nearly $200 million. https://corporateaccountability.org/blog/blackrock-for-2022-corporate-hall-of-shame/#:~:text=As%20we%20reported%20earlier%20this,shares%2C%20worth%20nearly%20%24200%20million.
