20 Huge Companies That Want To Take Your Guns
BuzzPo ^ | May 4, 2014 | Jodi Swan

Posted on 05/07/2014 6:31:13 AM PDT by xzins

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.

Living in the country, I do a lot of online shopping delivered to my door.

Any way you can get Staples/Depot type stuff online and just as good quality and just as good price?

Online can’t match the ability to quickly pick something up, and I don’t know about business accounts.

Not sure of the accuracy of this bloggers information and research. I’ve never had a problem with Google, for example.

“I’ve never had a problem with Google, for example.”

I can confirm that they’ve blocked searches for websites/articles opposing climate change, especially during/about the leaked emails. I’ve done searches for other topics, having seen an article previously that doesn’t get on the google list for 4 or 5 pages later while all sorts of unrelated items are listed. Therefore, I know that this is not an unbiased company and I do not doubt they block gun websites.

An interesting side note....I have heard that Wells Fargo is popular with identity theft and fraud criminals because you can open an account online without ever having to see a person at the bank.

Steal identity, open account, put a little money in, let account mature for a couple of weeks, deposit fraudulent cashiers checks which you immediately withdraw....

I buy most everything I can on-line and in bulk, particularly things like cases of copy paper, soap, household cleaner, 25 lb. bags of cat food, kitty litter, etc. Found couple of sources for ink/toner for copy machines which sell the refilled cartridges. Some less expensive but have found quality very inconsistent.

Staples has second day free delivery if you buy a certain $ amount which is great and I’ve found that for first time purchase to some of the sites there is a substantial discount. But even places to buy things on-line is becoming somewhat limited for office supplies. Cost of items reordered in May versus cost last October have caused me to say “Good Grief” more than once.

What I fear is that we are going to have only one or two sites to buy standard items in the near future. Does not bode well if you are on a budget.

The only 2 I ever use are Hallmark and Google, and those are not used often.
