Go after the parent...
Parent/holding company that is.

American Outdoor Brands, the parent company of U.S. gun-maker Smith & Wesson, lost its bid to block a proposal from a group of nuns and religious educators to increase efforts to promote gun safety.
At its shareholder meeting this week, investors sided with the resolution put forth by the Ontario-based Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary in the wake of multiple high-profile mass shootings.
The plan will require American Outdoor Brands (AOBC) to put together a report regarding its efforts to both monitor gun violence associated with its products and to look into safer gun products.
The religious group got majority support – nearly 70 percent shareholder approval – to pass the same proposal at Sturm Ruger earlier this year, which garnered backing from shareholders BlackRock and Vanguard.
It was not immediately made public what percentage of American Outdoor Brands' shareholders supported the initiative. BlackRock and Vanguard are also large shareholders in American Outdoor Brands.
