Facebook Raises Target to Repurchase Stock by $9 Billion

"Facebook already announced earlier this year that they were going to buy back $15 Billion in stock and now with the additional $9 Billion the purchase total is $24 Billion, although no timeline has been suggested. Due to a horrible 2018, the stock is trading down almost 40% of the peak price of $217 per share in July, so if they intend to purchase on the open market now would be as good of a time as any."

Smocking could also come from the word smock, a special outwear clothing used in many industries.

For example, Foxconn employees wear ESD Smocks to work on iPhone and AMD products.

Perhaps the "Gun" in Smocking Gun is one of those products.
