CHICAGO – Democrat gubernatorial primary candidate Chris Kennedy wants the state of Illinois to withdraw any investments in "gun and weapon" manufacturers, he said Tuesday.
In his Tweets, the businessman did not specify what type of "weapons" he considered as unworthy of taxpayer investment – whether it included aerospace companies and tableware, baseball bat, rodent poison, auto manufacturers among those companies that should be abandoned as harmful.
Kennedy, whose father was shot and killed as a U.S. senator and whose uncle was assassinated as president, is a staunch gun control advocate.
