Amazon.com, the online superstore, has united with the anti-gun movement this holiday season.
Amazon.com is promoting the Million Mom March, a group known for its support of strict gun control laws and regulations. It will give five percent of every sale to the organization when visitors access Amazon’s website through the Million Mom March site.
In 2001, the Million Mom March joined the Brady Campaign and the Brady Center to become the largest grassroots, non-partisan, anti-gun organization.
Since then, the group has supported many anti-gun proposals, such as New Jersey Assembly Bill 3942, which was proposed to outlaw the sale of .50 caliber or larger firearms including muzzleloaders. Fortunately for sportsmen, the bill was withdrawn in January. Similar legislation has been introduced in California, Illinois, New York and Virginia.
The Million Mom March also strongly opposed Senate Bill 1805, a congressional bill that would have protected firearm and ammunition manufacturers, distributors, dealers, and importers from frivolous lawsuits brought by victims of gun abusers.
Take Action! Sportsmen across the nation should contact Amazon.com and educate them about the Million Mom March’s goals to impose unnecessary gun control laws that threaten the rights of law abiding sportsmen and shooters. Contact President Jeff Bezos, Amazon.com, Inc. 1200 12th Ave. South Suite, 1200, Seattle, Washington 98144. Phone (206) 266-1000.

You might want to consider partnering your dragonsfury website with another partner.
i'm never surprised when some bunch of dummies gets together with another group of dumb-bunnies.
free dixie,sw
No more shopping at Amazon...for me.
OK.
Doesn't amazon give a 5% kickback to anyone who sets up a storefront link to them? GOA or the NRA could do the same thing, I believe.
Is this actually an endorsement, or is this just another example of a group we don't like availing themselves of Amazon's affiliates program?
I note that the linked piece contains no link or other evidence of an Amazon.com endorsement of the MMM.
This sounds like the same hoax that comes up from time to time.
Amazon supporting AMAZONS!!
I couldn't even find a single link from their website to Amazon.com (they were selling all their books themselves.)
I suspect that perhaps their competition started this campaign.
so.........9mm or .45........?!
fyi
So long Amazon.com. It's been nice doing business with you.
Cancelling my Amazon.com account....now.

But it seems to be just the ordinary affiliates program that anyone can use.
Million moron march... These idiot lefty soccermoms would better utilize their time running to the kitchen to get me a sandwich and ale while I watch reruns of The Rifleman...
There's something like 500,000 sites that are signed up for that Affiliates program at Amazon. They don't endorse content.
