The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms launched an initiative last year aimed at providing information to Second Amendment-loving Americans. The goal was to provide a comprehensive list of companies and/or CEOs who back gun control initiatives and legislation or have anti-firearm corporate policies in place.
“When we started this project last year, we were actually surprised, and in some cases disappointed, at some of the businesses we added to the list," CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb said in a statement. "We discovered several brand name businesses and corporate leaders who evidently have a nefarious agenda to limit gun rights. Their current and potential patrons should have the knowledge of what their hard earned dollars are actually funding.”
The CCRKBA recently added Gucci to the list after it was revealed the high-end brand donated $500,000 to the March for Our Lives organization, which launched after the Parkland shooting in Florida. March for Our Lives quickly used the funds to advance anti-Second Amendment legislation, Gottlieb said.
According to Gottlieb, putting together the list was about giving pro-gun Americans knowledge about their purchasing habits. It's not about boycotting companies and businesses but rather about giving Americans the ability to make informed decisions about where their hard-earned dollars go.
“We encourage people to buy products from companies they can count on to not support efforts aimed at curtailing constitutional rights,” he explained. “By providing this information, we hope gun owning consumers are making reasonable decisions about which businesses to patronize. This might convince some businesses to re-think their core values.”
“We’re not calling for a boycott of these companies,” Gottlieb said. “Businesses and the people who own them can support whatever kind of philosophy they want, and gun owning consumers can likewise not spend any money with those firms. Let the marketplace decide. Over 100 million American gun owners represent a sizeable [sic] consumer bloc, and they will decide where they spend their money.”

That’s nice but that’s a 63, mine’s a “Six Fo”, the grille’s different, and for the umpeenth time, no, mine does NOT bounce.😀😀
Autozone and Sonic need to check where the butter on their bread comes from.
I feel like Autozone and O’Reillys have given up on competing on price and just serve the “gotta have the part today” buyer.
If you can wait, Rockauto and Amazon are the low price leaders on auto parts these days.
I’ve never had good service with Comcast. Verizon is way better.
We don’t have much choice about Comcast either.
Well, any choice, really.
It’s them of nothing.
STUPID PEOPLE! Do they get a cut?
I’m not going to dump them completely. Just shrink Ye Olde Footprinte to internet. It’s possible that if Mom (RIP) put the TV on Wi Fi, I can still stream Newsmax there.
Hopefully, later on, I will find a morally and technically superior ISP, preferably small biz.
>Sorry, Newsmax.
A sub to Kloud TV includes OANN and Newsmax.
I usually buy online for that reason.
Needed upper bump stops for the front of my Jeep. Basically a chunk of rubber for the upper control arm to hit if the wheel comes up too far. Rockauto wanted $100 EACH. Got them at Quadratech for $12.99 ea.
Re: Ordering on Amazon, I don’t mind putting businesses in Broward (who all require face diapers) out of business. I don’t care no mo.
Yeah, pretty much. Lot of tech use to be libertarian, as you would expect from technical people, now they’ve become idiots.
I’m about 3 miles from an O’Reilly warehouse (you can do will call pickup from their retail store down the street) but the prices aren’t what they used to be. I think the brick and mortar parts stores are selling to the folks that have to have the part right away, which makes sense.
I usually use the Rockauto lookup for numbers, then crosscheck at Amazon and Summit. I actually used to work with the guy who started Summit in Ohio back in the late 60s.
Yawn... 200 is a drop in the bucket and most on the list are already whoring for the democrat party.
Commie useful idiots.
Shameful.
