Reaction to Starbucks: 'Gun control' groups demand nothing less than total ban

The publication Tuesday of Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz's open letter announcing the coffee chain's request (but not requirement) that customers no longer openly carry firearms in their stores was, unsurprisingly, met with anger on the part of some gun rights advocates. What perhaps is something of a surprise is that the news does not appear to have made many of the forcible citizen disarmament advocacy groups particularly happy, either.

The coffee is undrinkable - but it takes the copper out of barrels!

Sadly, this is what democracy looks like when not constrained to within strict parameters of the government of republican form.

The ONLY outcomes are "compromises" that NOBODY is happy with.

Here's a thought- lets try adhering to the letter of the Constitution again and just see America rise again.....

At this point, what is there to lose - well besides despotic control over subjects by party disguised JBTs bent on stealing everything from wealth to dignity?

"This column argues that as gun rights advocates, we will be best served by leaving the bullying to the other side, rather than trying to conscript Starbucks into fighting a culture war of which they understandably want no part, as the other side has done and continues to do."

Wise words. If I were previously going to Starbucks, I would not stop going due to this announcement. I just can't afford their coffee...

I think they humored us for quite a while. They admitted in the beginning they just wanna follow the law and sell coffee. Do we that encourage the free market wanna argue that? I think it wasn't the place for slinged rifles or shot guns. I don't hold any ill will for them.
