Groupon has canceled, at least temporarily, all of its scheduled and ongoing gun-related promotions, Matt Brownell at Aol Daily Finance reported.

“All scheduled and current gun-related deals featured on Groupon North America, including shooting ranges, conceal-and-carry and clay shooting, have been placed on hiatus while we review internal standards that shape the deal inventory we feature,” a Groupon spokesperson told Daily Finance.

“The category is under review following recent consumer and merchant feedback.”

Michael Cargill, the owner of a gun shop in Texas, said that his Groupon deal — for a concealed handgun training course — was canceled and that the representative told him Groupon CEO Andrew Mason was behind the decision.

What's a Groupon? Is it related to Poupon?

Yes it is, but this is the YELLOW kind.

1st Amendment = 2 Amendment!

Never let any person or organization avoid the rough equivalence of the First and Second Amendments.

If they want to control guns, I want to control their speech first.

If they don’t agree to my speech control, then they can stuff their gun control.

Boycott Groupon.

No problemo.

I just masked their emails to spam and I won’t receive anymore offers from their vendors.

Gee, the last company that pulled stuff like this took a pretty big hit.

Hmmm, what was their name again. Carbonite

I assume he is getting pressure from the anti-gun crowd.

He is possible still sitting on the fence. Many businessmen don’t concern themselves with with political issues till events them forced to make a choice. Do we want to knock him off the fence on the anti-gun side or convince him to come down on our side? Many citizens or so busy living there lives they forget about why they have the freedoms that they do. We need them to look past the next paycheck or business quarter and see what they will lose in the long run it the make the wrong short term choice. Before we tar and feather him let show him we will support him if he makes the right choice. And then if needed we can tar and feather him.

Maybe there’s a terrorist hidden in his prostate?

I guess when they said Bin Laden was hiding in a cave, they weren’t kidding...

I am contacting merchants whose business I began patronizing through Groupon. I am stating that if they continue to advertise on Groupon I will cease to patronize them.
