1. MTV
MTV’s Chairman is on the board of CeaseFire, Inc. Not only are they corrupting society one raunchy music video at a time, they’d also love nothing more than to disarm the public.
2. Staples
The office supply mogul frequently bans gun companies from entering their business contests – even though the contests are supposed to be open to “any and all” businesses. Sounds just like our tolerant friends on the left to make such a move.
3. Bank of America
Turned down the business of McMillan Group simply because they are a gun company.
4. Google
The world’s largest search engine has started restricting searches on gun info specifically relating to firearm sales.
5. 7-Eleven
A notorious target for gun-related crime in the past, you’d think the company would support gun use for self protection. On the contrary, 7-Eleven has supported anti-gun laws. Apparently, the only people who are allowed to have guns in 7-Elevens are criminals.
6. Toys ‘R Us
This popular children’s store wants to take away your right to own guns so that you can protect the children you buy over-priced toys for.
7. Ben & Jerry’s
A very liberal business, it’s no surprise that they’re anti-gun. They have donated millions to gun control causes and groups.
8. Disney
The CEO and President both serve on the board of CeaseFire, Inc.
9. Gap, Inc.
IMG_2697-500x375 Corporate bigwigs have been publicly against guns since the company’s start.
10. Volkswagen
They’ve been lobbying against legislation that would permit employees to keep firearms in their cars during work.
11. Dannon Yogurt
Supporters of licensing and handgun registration, they gave a whopping $150,000 to the ‘Million Mom March’.
12. Sara Lee
Sara Lee Corporation owns L’eggs panty hose, Hanes underwear, Ball Park franks and Hillshire Farm smoked sausages. That gives them ample income to funnel straight towards the Brady Center to supposedly prevent handgun violence.
13. Levi Strauss
Buy Wranglers instead.
14. Hasbro
The Chairman, CEO and President all serve on the board of CeaseFire, Inc. Every action figure and Transformers movie ticket you buy helps fund various gun control groups.
15. Hyatt Hotels
Ever wonder why it costs an exorbitant amount of money to stay at one of these luxury hotels? It’s so the company can invest in disarming you.
16. Hallmark Cards
Lets see if I can put this in words that Hallmark would understand… Roses are red, violets are blue, give us your guns or we’ll take them from you!
17. NBC
Bob Costas’ anti-gun rant back in December of 2012 on Sunday Night Football caused quite a stir, although it was fully backed by the liberal network. They also ran a ridiculously biased hit piece on Remington Firearms in which they falsely asserted that their shotguns are defective.
18. Verizon Wireless
Customers have complained about the “NO Weapons” signs at their stores, but the company maintains that the policy is for the protection of everyone. Riiight…
19. Sprint
Sprint Nextel has it’s own Political Action Committee (PAC). Back in 2012, their most sizable contribution to a political candidate went to anti-gun Democrat Amy Klobuchar. She has notoriously voted to take away your Second Amendment rights.
20. Wells Fargo
These guys have refused to lend money to companies in the firearms industry for over 10 years.
It’s too easy not to support these companies.
The family has been making the shift to no contract phones (cheaper!)
If I were the ceo of these companies, I’d want guns out of the hands of people too. Nothing but over paid left wing shills.
I have a Ford F150 super cab and it pulls all I want it to pull. But I also have a 4 year old VW diesel jetta for mpg. It’s a good car, but if I’d known about this, I wouldn’t have bought it.
Like with all these companies, it’s too easy to switch to a competitor.
See the way the leftwing shakedown industry works? Hasbro gets to sell loads of toy guns without being protested because they pay off the protestors.
Good catch, dangus. I hadn’t thought about their hypocrisy over toy guns, action figures, etc.
Mark for later printing.
Thanks. Just cancelled my wife’s Hallmark card online subscription. She’s not too happy, but .........
The alternative would be to close down my business, and make six figures a year less. For that difference I can offset what ever Verizon puts toward anti-gun efforts with a few donations (GOA, NRA, JPFO, SAF).
In my area of southern, rural Ohio, I get ATT clear as can be. Verizon works on one side of my house and doesn’t on the other.
I also think your idea of counter-balancing their position with your donations IS an acceptable way of dealing with these companies. Most of us think of switching, but I agree that phone reception is a different issue, since I have the same problem, only reversed.
So, what can you do?
1. Switch to a different company.
2. If one of these companies is your only option, then counter their position with a donation to a pro-gun group.
Makes sense to me.
How is it that you can’t refuse to take pictures of a homosexual wedding or to bake a cake for another Homosexual party. But you CAN DENY MFGRS of GUNS to have their accts. in Your Bank or other numerous Businesses.
God save America from the fools.
I’d quit shopping at Staples except they just announced that the Office Depot near me is closing.
“For that difference I can offset what ever Verizon puts toward anti-gun efforts with a few donations”
Makes sense to me LOL

I haven’t patronized any of these companies willingly.

I switched to Staples last year after Office Depot started contributing major dollars to liberal programs in public schools. Understand Office Max is merging either with Office Depot or Staples. Choices are becoming almost non-existent.
