Why are corporations virtue signalling on gun grabbing?

I’ve been working today, so blogging is a challenge. I did get out a tweet, though:

Why are corporations playing to gun grabbers when it harms their business? Because today's executives, unlike past bosses who worked their way up from the mail room, all went straight from college to corporate America. We're seeing the real-world effects of campus hard-Leftism.
