Thank You Staples............

............. for revealing your position on a certain contemporary and contentious issue of today - sure makes it easy for me to decide where I'll be buying my next office supplies.

Gun Shop Allegedly Banned From Partcipating in Popular Store’s Contest: ‘Entry Contains Content That Promotes…Firearms’ | TheBlaze.com

[M R Dux]

If the rules of the contest are specific about who may or may not enter, I say the gun shop owners were in the wrong for entering.

That said, I'm glad the gun shop is using this event to publicly expose Staples as a company that does not support a legal activity (last I checked). By excluding certain legal business and lumping them in with criminals, Staples has cut their noses off to spite their faces. Those of us on the right have been reluctant to participate in boycotts of businesses but I think it is time most of us rethink that position. I know I have!

I did digging on the Staples website. Boy oh boy are they gonna get a nasty-gram from me!

It says: Tells us what you think. Ok I think I think will!

I just looked at the Staples Facebook page. It's SMEARED head to toe with anti Staples/boycott posters. I guess no one told them they just pissed off 50% of the country.

Bunch of Commies at Staples. Besides this, their sales staff have a combined IQ of -100.

Yes!! Gun owners won!

An official statement from the team at Staples via Facebook:
We heard you! At Staples, we value all of our customers and appreciate your feedback. We now realize the rules of our Push It Forward contest were too restrictive and kept out legitimate businesses. Unfortunately, we can't change the rules once the contest is underway. But we will revise our rules to make sure future contests are more inclusive and reflect our commitment to helping all small businesses.

The people are still enraged, and the standing sentiment- Too late!

So let`s FORCE our "values" on EVERYONE else, the Amish included! ARM every child who can even lug a gun! MANDATORY GUN OWNERSHIP or FACE prison time, right? (Like the gun companies aren`t seeing RECORD profits right now anyway) GEEZ...

Who said anything about forcing "values" on anybody? Your leftist buddies are the ones who think we can't live our lives without guidance from them. If we disagree with them, they will just use the power of our corrupt government to force their "values" on us. Hasn't worked yet and won't likely work in the future.

I have no idea where you are coming from but I certainly want to avoid that place at all costs.
