Groupon has canceled, at least temporarily, all of its scheduled and ongoing gun-related promotions, Matt Brownell at Aol Daily Finance reported.

“All scheduled and current gun-related deals featured on Groupon North America, including shooting ranges, conceal-and-carry and clay shooting, have been placed on hiatus while we review internal standards that shape the deal inventory we feature,” a Groupon spokesperson told Daily Finance.

“The category is under review following recent consumer and merchant feedback.”

Michael Cargill, the owner of a gun shop in Texas, said that his Groupon deal — for a concealed handgun training course — was canceled and that the representative told him Groupon CEO Andrew Mason was behind the decision.

Never used them, but it sure is a reason not to use them. Good excuse to tell the local organizations that sell these things for funding.

They're dying anyway.

They have a seriously-flawed business model.

As Groupon Prepares to Go Public, its business model appears to be faltering

Unsubscribed.

Support the Second Amendment and eliminate your daily dose of tanning salon spam at the same time.

Win-Win if you ask me.

We use Groupon frequently, and in fact the Mrs. And I were looking at a deal on an indoor shooting range here in DFW....Hope they make the right choice, we can live without Groupon.

I used to use Groupon, but canceled because they pulled their advertising from Donald Trump because he was asking questions about The Won’s birth certificate. To bad I can't cancel them twice.

Wife and I have been frequent Groupon users here in SW Florida, mainly purchasing travel/entertainment specials for incoming guests. If this is true, I will stop using Groupon and shift to a similar service in my area. If conservatives suggest a boycott it's wrong, but liberals remain free to use the bully pulpit whenever it suits them. This double standard has got to stop!

Guns are flying off the shelves because of pending oppressive legislation. No discounts needed to incentivize anymore.

The range I go to has always had at least a couple groups of people coming in for their Groupon session. As busy as things are nowadays, they probably want their normal paying customers to get the time in, at full price, without the long waits.:-)

Groupon sucks anyhow. The other half wasted money twice on them. Both Groupons were a total fiasco and loss.

Any corporation which is anti-civil rights is anti-contract law.

What's a Groupon? Is it related to Poupon?
