Former presidential daughter and Hillary surrogate Chelsea Clinton tweeted out a map showing all the Starbucks coffee shops compared to all the "gun dealers" in America.
Wow. https://t.co/HqRcYNvtTT

The link goes to a story on the "CityLab" part of The Atlantic magazine operation. Here is the website, called "Firearms and Frappuccinos," upon which their story is based.
"So a new mapping project by data viz company 1point21 Interactive tries to contextualize this number by comparing it to something all Americans know exists in abundance: Starbucks," writes CityLab.

More like comparing “gun dealers” to anyone who makes a coffee in their house...
It just shows you more people brew their own coffee than manufacture their own guns. Now, if they included every coffee pot...
Much rather get a gift card for a local gun store than a Starbucks.
Ammo is still cheaper than a frappalattemochabeanocino ...
Nothing new under the sun. Bill Moyers was telling the same lie, but with gas stations, 30 years ago.
Go Chelsea! If Hillary’s e-mails can’t finish her off, if Bill’s baggage can’t finish her off, well maybe Chelsea’s inanity can sink Hillary’s presidential prospects, once and for all.
Never hurts to do a Google search on “Webster Hubbell”, one of Hillary’s former law partners, if you want to see something REALLY SCARY. Be sure to click on the Images that come up.
My takeaway is that there are far too many starbucks. Is that the point she was trying to make?
Snobby barista control, not gun control!
;^)
Why doesn’t anyone point out that the “unlicensed gun dealer problem” - if indeed it were a problem - is a problem of Liberals’ own creation?
30 years ago, it was far easier to become a licensed gun dealer, and many more people were dealers, even though that meant intrusive BATF oversight and reporting.
But the Libs decided there should be far FEWER dealers - so that there’d be fewer guns, right? - so they made the requirements much more onerous and much more costly, and the result is what we have today: a fraction of the number of FFL dealers nationwide, and a lot more hobbyists flying under the radar. Never mind that there are many more firearms in private hands today than before the law changed - Thank you, Presidents Clinton and Obama!
Now, I personally think that’s just fine, but the Socialists and Liberals shedding big crocodile tears for “gun victims” should have at least a little intellectual honesty and admit they screwed up.
If anything, it gives people who want to mass murder others the locations of facilities that do not allow guns.
Frankly, I would think someone would rather go on a shooting rampage at Starbux than at gun dealerships.
She’s a Clinton. She was taught to lie and mislead.
This is a CRISIS.
We need more gun dealers!
In a few years, we will be reading stories about Darling Chelsea as “the smartest women in the world”, “ready to lead” and “American Camelot”.
This spoiled, bratty b**ch represents all that is wrong with “The Ruling Class” meme we have to put up with while the GOPe holds the strings.
Hey Chelsea dear, you forget to include Eric Holder’s fast & furious gun runners as gun sellers.
Amy Carter- became a raving leftist loony, hanging out with Abbie Hoffman before he offed himself.
Chelsea Clinton- a real piece of work, who treated the help (ie., the Marines guarding the white House, the secret service) with abominable contempt.
No thank you. I think sasha and Malia will become the worst of two worlds- Entitlement trust fund babies, and be Perpetually aggrieved "because of their race" just like mommy and daddy.
That’s awesome. I see that there is one gun store near me that I didn’t realize was there. I think I’ll pay a visit and buy some more ammo. Thanks for the tip, Chels!
Intellect and honesty in liberals is an oxymoronic statement.
Her map tells mass murderers where to go and kill unarmed innocent Democrats!
