Apparently this Saturday is 'avoid Starbucks Day' because of the lax policy which the coffee store has regarding armed patrons in their stores.
I am reminded once again of the masterful job which the NRA has done in completely squelching any gun regulations after the massacre at Newtown. Not only do we not have fewer guns, we now have guns in schools! Who would ever have thought that instead of fewer guns, we now, as the result of multiple shootings, have more guns, in more places, than ever?
What a terrible burden to have foisted on the people of Newton, and the other communities where gun shooters cut down their citizens for apparently nothing more than some sick joy. It took less than six months for Washington to be paid off, hook, line and sinker for what could have been the basis for fewer guns and less deaths from gun toting heroes.
To say I am appalled is an understatement. But you have to give credit for the speed and accuracy with which the NRA moved to ensure that the appropriate politicians were paid off quickly, and any serious gun reducing legislation was squelched before it saw the light of day. But, to end up as a result of the gun deaths with more guns, is just unimaginable.
Member of the NRA and proud of it. Glad my NRA dues are going to good use protecting my 2nd Amendment rights.
Fact: Jurisdictions that are more 2nd Amendment friendly consistently have less crime than neighboring and adjacent jurisdictions with anti-2nd Amendment gun control.
If one doesnt like Starbuck's pro-American policies, simply don't do business there anymore. That simple.

I'm pro gun ownership (though no more "pro gun" than I'm "pro hammer" or "pro sawzall") but to consider being against gun ownership anti American is ridiculous. The give and take of politics and free expression of political views is very American. And in a free society no one point of view is more American than another; that's what political freedom and free speech mean.

Exactly 100% agree.
I could care less about a company's "stance" on political issues, and, frankly, am tired of everyone and everything being bullied these days...

The U.S. Constitution is the longest lasting, most successful, most enviable, and most imitated constitution man has ever known. The United States Constitution has secured an unprecedented degree of human freedom, upholding the rule of law, securing the blessings of liberty, and providing the framework for the people of America to build a great, prosperous, and just nation unlike any other in the world.
To oppose a fundamental Right guaranteed by the Constitution -- the 2nd Amendment --is indeed un-American; no one would even assert otherwise if the Amendment in question was the 1st, 4th, 5th, or most indeed, the 13th and 14th Amendments.

Pray god it is not your family member next.
Guns are allowed in preschools/kindergartens now, in some states.
