Are you looking for a handy list of companies that support gun control? Well, today, 145 companies made it easier for you, clearly revealing their disregard for the Second Amendment and the principles of liberty and freedom.
First reported by the New York Times, the CEOs of 145 companies sent a letter to the U.S. Senate urgently calling for “background checks on all gun sales and a strong Red Flag law that would allow courts to issue life-saving extreme risk protection orders.” Citing recent events and their “responsibility and obligation to stand up for the safety of our employees, customers and all Americans,” they argue for so-called “common-sense” gun legislation.
The letter was signed by CEOs of large companies such as Bain Capital, Bloomberg, Brookfield Property Group, GAP, and Levi Strauss. Also signing were large advertising and media firms, such as Conde Nast, Group Nine Media, Havas, Interpublic, Omnicom, and Publicis, no surprise given the messaging on guns that we so often see. Also note the services and social media companies, such as Airbnb, DoorDash, Eventbrite, Lyft, Pinterest, Reddit, Twitter, Uber, and Yelp.
Below, we've provided a searchable, alphabetical list of the companies and executives who signed the letter. Incidentally, when you read breathless headlines on other news media about “145 of the biggest companies in America” supporting gun control, note that only 45 of them have more than 500 employees. 100 of them have fewer than 500 employees, and you'll probably need to google them to figure out what they do.
Whether it's due to virtue-signaling, free marketing to a portion of the country, or simply misguided beliefs, perhaps it's worth a hard look at where you're spending your time and money these days. Let them know how you feel.
The New York Times also published a copy of the actual letter.

You forgot X-products!
Very few recognizable names. No idea what most of these make/produce. I suspect there are more recognizable subsidiaries.
Can you produce an updated list? This is a year old.
So many missing from this list it makes it completely irrelevant.
Read the actual article. These are CEOs who went out of their way to send a letter to congress. The author does not say it's a comprehensive list of anti-gun companies.
Read the title of the article:
Here’s a List of Companies That Support Gun Control
It doesnt say " here is a list of CEO's"
Typical headline don't match the article BS.
Recoil is known for advertising, not relevant info.
The largest Liberal company out there FACEBOOK!
you forgot McDonald
Missing FedEx and Walmart. Their anti-Second Amendment policies can be found on their websites. They're actively lobbying for bans.
Please provide a link or information that FedEx is
anti gun. I have not seen that on there website.
I have worked there for 17 years and no one has ever said anything about gun control. A lot of us employees are gun owners and 2nd amendment supporters.
You forgot the NRA.
If you say so
I own Pinterest stock. I will sell the loser company’s stock on Monday
Good for you!! Us real Americans appreciate you!!
Every person who is Anti gun Anti 2A is well protected
With private security or is a Full Carrier! That is a fact!
Can you create a list of companies that support the 2nd amendment?
That's just what I was wondering. I'm tired of hating on stupid people. Who should I support?
