How do we all feel about Berkshire owning a company that is the biggest maker of AR-15 parts in the country?

Eh.
Is it a legal product?

Is it an immoral product?

Does the product directly cause harm? Tobacco does, althought the harm is something a person does to themself, using their own value judgement. Their body, their choice.

Does it even matter what we feel about Berkshire owning Cerro?

If it is not acceptable to you, don't own BRK stock.

Lots of people won't own tobacco company stocks.
FWIW, MO has higher CAGR than SPY. Jim Kramer said that if you hate tobacco companies, buy MO and take the excess profits to fund anti-tobacco groups.
