On July 13, Michael Bloomberg-funded Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America launched another shame campaign like others they ran against Starbucks, Staples, and Kroger.

This time, however, the target is Cabela’s, and the goal of the campaign is to pressure the Nebraska-based retailer into refusing to hand over guns to customers if an extended, three-day, FBI-run background check does not uncover a reason for the sale not to happen.

Forgot to post this excerpt:

Here is the problem—there is no loophole. And asking Cabela’s to alter sales policies as if there were a loophole, is just a ruse covering attempts to push a new consumer/retailer relationship where citizens have to prove why they should be able to buy a gun rather than the government—or the retailer—proving why they should not.

So this group is going to quit buying guns at Cabela’s?

Good luck with that. At my local Cabelas you have to take a number at the gun counter. That’s how many guns they sell.

There is no way Cabela’s would alienate that main customer base.

Why don’t these groups ever demonstrate in the ghetto to have blacks stop killing each other?

Or in front of an abortion clinic to stop the killing?

Or in front of a mosque to stop the killing?

These businesses need to stand up to these people by telling them to leave and, when they don’t, have them carted off on trespass charges. The businesses should then send each individual a letter instituting a lifetime ban from there premises and file copies of those letters with the police departments that have jurisdiction over any of their facilities.

Always thought moms were supposed to change diapers, not soil them themselves.

I’m a Mom. They don’t speak for me. The NRA speaks for me.

Leave our Cabela’s ALONE!

I’m thinking they should go down to an Armour packing plant and protest bacon. It’ll get about as much results as protesting Cabela’s selling guns.

We bought our Kimbers there. Really nice folks to do business with. The selection is great, staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and courteous. They got into a pissing match over the local taxes on the square footage of the store after they opened. The municipal potentates wanted to essentially double their taxes.

So e management decided to close the second floor thereby depriving said municipal potentates of about a million or so in “revenue”. Cabelas hasn’t budged.

I laughed my ass off when the store manager told me the story.

I doubt the moms against human rights crowd will have much success with them.

Best,

L

Counterprotests with signs that embarrass the living sh1t out of these people are required.

If it is determined that prohibitive criteria exists, the NICS Examiner will advise the FFL to DENY the firearm transaction. If potentially prohibitive criteria exists and more information is required in order to make the determination, the NICS Examiner will advise the FFL to DELAY the firearm transaction and the FFL will receive the following instructions:
“. . .NTN ___ will be delayed while the NICS continues its research. If you do not receive a final response from us, the Brady Law does not prohibit the transfer of the firearm on day/date.”
The NICS Examiner will provide the FFL with the date of the third business day after the firearm check was initiated. Business days do not include the day the check was initiated, Saturdays, Sundays, and any day state offices in the state of purchase are closed. If the FFL has not received from the NICS a final determination after three business days have elapsed since the delay response, it is within the FFL’s discretion whether or not to transfer the firearm (if state law permits the transfer). If the FFL transfers the firearm, the FFL must mark “No resolution was provided within three business days” on line 21d of the ATF Form 4473. It is recommended the FFL record the date provided in the delay response on which the firearm may be lawfully transferred under federal law if a final determination of proceed or denied is not received from the NICS.
When a transaction is DELAYED, the NICS Examiner begins extensive research on the potential prohibitor. When the research is complete, the NICS Examiner calls the FFL and gives a PROCEED or DENY decision on the firearm transaction.

Moms, you got your “action” now raise your son’s in the same house with their Father, and try discipline instead of medication.

I think Cabella’s is more in touch with their customer base than the communist radicals. Nobody that shops at Cabellas would protest. What are they going to do organize a boycott? Remember Chick Fil a? Yea, that’s how that would go.
