Amazon.com, the online superstore, has united with the anti-gun movement this holiday season.
Amazon.com is promoting the Million Mom March, a group known for its support of strict gun control laws and regulations. It will give five percent of every sale to the organization when visitors access Amazon’s website through the Million Mom March site.
In 2001, the Million Mom March joined the Brady Campaign and the Brady Center to become the largest grassroots, non-partisan, anti-gun organization.
Since then, the group has supported many anti-gun proposals, such as New Jersey Assembly Bill 3942, which was proposed to outlaw the sale of .50 caliber or larger firearms including muzzleloaders. Fortunately for sportsmen, the bill was withdrawn in January. Similar legislation has been introduced in California, Illinois, New York and Virginia.
The Million Mom March also strongly opposed Senate Bill 1805, a congressional bill that would have protected firearm and ammunition manufacturers, distributors, dealers, and importers from frivolous lawsuits brought by victims of gun abusers.
Take Action! Sportsmen across the nation should contact Amazon.com and educate them about the Million Mom March’s goals to impose unnecessary gun control laws that threaten the rights of law abiding sportsmen and shooters. Contact President Jeff Bezos, Amazon.com, Inc. 1200 12th Ave. South Suite, 1200, Seattle, Washington 98144. Phone (206) 266-1000.
Ping for later
I heard this was a hoax. Anyone have confirmation?
I couldn't find any Amazon press releases on this (only a holiday bake fund raiser for the hungry).
Need more info from Amazon.
Kit.
I wonder if JR has considered an Amazon portal here. As a fundraising tool it seems like a no-lose proposition.
The Million Moms have become a left wing pack of freaks , just like the Brady Bunch and NOW.
Any man who is 18 and old enough to go to Iraq is old enough to come home and have a beer and buy a gun.
Grrrrr!
You won't. Anybody with a website can do this and hundreds of groups have a similar deal.
I will! Thanks for the post!
The NRA or GOA or FR could have a link through their own websites to Amazon and get the same benefit.
Might as well ask, right?
Are you buying books, CDs, or videos? Help JPFO earn a commission on your purchases, Click through to Amazon.com via the JPFO web site at: http://www.jpfo.org/bookstore.htm
There is ZERO chance I will patronize Amazon henceforth.
I have a large (and I mean HUGE, multi-hundred-dollar) technical reference purchase coming up, so they will be the ones who lose. I had originally planned to patronize them.
DO NOT patronize Amazon.
Damn. I got gigged.
Thats why I pinged, so I can check back later. I don't want to go give Amazon some hate mail if they don't deserve it. It's generally a pretty good website.
What if they had a link to Hamas? Would that connote sponsorship?
~sigh~
And we wonder why the lie'brals think we're stupid.
I have an Amazon seller account. Lots of people do. It's business. Not politics.
