Just got a reply from Groupon Customer Support on this matter:

Hi Michael, Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us.

We understand that this is a sensitive topic, and that some of our customers may not agree with our choice to pause the promotion of firearm-related deals. Groupon has always aimed to offer a diverse range of products and services to meet the various tastes and interests of our subscribers. However, at this time, enough customers and merchants have voiced their opinions that we believe a hiatus is warranted.

Please note that we have never sold guns, and this hiatus only applies to firearm-related deals including shooting ranges, clay pigeon shooting, and concealed weapons training classes. We have not made a final determination regarding this category -- we are simply taking a break and may reevaluate in the future.

We genuinely appreciate your opinion and the feedback you've given us. I'll be sure to share your comments with the appropriate people.

Regards,
Danielle R
Groupon Customer Support

Louiswu -

Received the same form letter today, too.

The libertarian in me says they can run their business their own way and cater to a niche market of anti-firearm/2nd amendment customers.

However, I thought it important enough to let them know that the percentage of those who disagree with them (and don't even own a firearm or attend many shooting classes) that will not do business with them is much higher than expected.

...makes them sweat a bit more to keep the doors open...
