A small Nebraska gun shop has decided to buy its ink pens and post-it notes somewhere else after they said Staples rejected their entry into a marketing contest because they are in the firearms business.
Travis Vonseggern and Bill Jackson own Maple Creek Gunsmithing in Fremont, Neb. The store offers gunsmithing, guns, ammo, and firearms training.gunsmith
They recently entered the Staples PUSH It Forward Contest – hoping to win a $50,000 marketing campaign for their small business. But a few days later, the men received a rejection email:
“We’re sorry, but your small business entry into the Staples PUSH It Forward Contest has been rejected for the following reason(s): Entry contains content that promotes alcohol, illegal drugs, tobacco, firearms/weapons (or the use of any of the foregoing); promotes any activities that may appear unsafe or dangerous; promotes any particular political agenda or message; is obscene or offensive; or endorses any form of hate or hate group.”

If true, I and my wife will discard our Staples card.

LOL....Leftist rubbish.
Well, gun owners need not shop at Staples...
Bought my last item at Staples.
I am sure a few hundred thousand less customers won’t bother them.
Guess we know where not to shop
Ditto that
Or any one else win a brain...
Spread it far and wide. Now gun owners are considered as bad as “illegal drug users?”
I wont buy a thing from Staples ever again after hearing this.
So much for Staples. They just nailed themselves to the wall.
Staples is now officially off my list of places to buy stuff.......

Time for a national boycott against Staples.
EFF ‘em!
This will be shared with my blog followers and my entire contact list. Thank you for posting it!

Didn’t Holder say that gun owners must be shamed? Glad to know you’re aboard, Staples! One has to wonder if some corporations have been forced into this kind of Un-American activity.
You are so welcome. I’m glad I caught the news. I just sent Staples a message via their FB page.
“...or endorses any form of hate or hate group”
I guess they don’t count hoplophobia
They’re getting smoked on their Facebook page. I predict a rapid, crab-like move by some executive while throwing a marketing schlub under the bus.
