Big Business or at least 12 chunks of it, has decided to jump on the anti-gun bandwagon by dropping sponsorship of the NRA in the wake of the Florida school shooting.
Companies like Delta and United Airlines will stop offering discounts and perks to NRA members as will their lesser allies, such as AVIS and Budget car rentals. You can read the list here.
Others, like Kroger, Walmart, Field & Stream and the curiously named Dick's Sporting Goods have also re-examined their firearms policy, with Dick's and Field & Stream banning semi-automatic deadly assault rifles altogether. The others have raised the age of gun sales to 21 years old and all appear to be lobbying for more stringent background checks, excluding the "mentally ill" from firearms purchases.
Sounds sensible, doesn't it. Not so fast, where does "mentally ill" begin and end. With being a vet, someone who once complained to their doctor about depression or a person adamantly refused to vote for Hillary Clinton?
President Trump added fuel to the fire, stating, "Take the guns first, go through due process second." Granted, the quote's out of context and it's unlikely that the President will abandon his base to woo leftist votes and their big money, millionaire socialist sponsors in corporate America. Still, it doesn't sound good.
But the millionaire socialist corporate combine might want to take note. Trump, and with him an anti-left, anti-globalist, pro-freedom, 2nd Amendment administration didn't get elected because they were unpopular.
Message to market, we're going to boycott your stores and you will lose money. See Delta in Georgia. As a parting shot, why wasn't there a cry for gun control after the Mandalay Massacre in Vegas? Good question.
Reflect on that and the near total media blackout on the Vegas shooting. While you're at it, join the NRA if you haven't already.

ReplyDeleteI want to know what loophole in the law is allowing them to restrict sales to someone under 21 when it's legal for them to buy a gun. You know darn well they have teams of lawyers who told them it was okay to do that, yet a baker can't refuse to bake a cake for a homosexual "marriage." What the heck is up with that????
Happy third Sunday of Lent, LSP
All this hysteria will do is promote gun sales and NRA membership. Nobody will be safer in a gun-free zone tomorrow than they were a month ago.
ReplyDeleteIf the US sells California to Mexico, California (under Mexican law) will be as gun free as Guadalajara and Chihuahua.
I've been using Norton for some time now and have been satisfied with it. When my current contract runs out, I'll switch to something else. I'll be telling them why.
ReplyDeleteAlready a life member, and I don't fly Delta anyway... And gave up on Dicks a LONG time ago!
ReplyDeleteOur liberal friends who are pro-gun control should note that the American Revolution started at Lexington and Concord precisely BECAUSE the British were marching out to take away the colonists guns.
ReplyDeleteTime for a second revolution I say.
Good question, Adrienne. And every blessing for the 3rd Sunday of Lent!
ReplyDeleteBoycott these goons.
LL, there's a lot of people wondering when this sale's going to take place. It's a win-win -- California gets to leave the America it hates and become part of gun control Mexico. The rest of us can say goodbye to California and put the cash saved, both psychic and real, in the monkey.
ReplyDeleteDrinks (Old Raj) all 'round.
Right on, Jim. And they're the same kind of MillSoc crew that's been pushing for the deconstruction of the family and the trans rainbow utopia. Boycott the lot.
ReplyDeleteNFO, we'd expect nothing less!
ReplyDeleteI've never shopped at "Dick's." It always sounded like a 2nd tier BBQ franchise or something less pleasant, as opposed to a place to buy guns.
Infidel, it's obvious you're in need of drastic re-education.
ReplyDeleteHand in your guns and OBEY YOUR RULERS.
