(6,498 posts)Target: Dont Bring Guns Into Our Stores
Target announced Wednesday it is adopting a no-guns policy and, in a statement, asked that customers not bring guns into stores.
Even customers in localities where guns are allowed will be subject to the chains new policy.
Bringing firearms to Target creates an environment that is at odds with the family-friendly shopping and work experience we strive to create, Targets interim CEO John Mulligan said in a statement.
The decision follows protests orchestrated by Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, a gun control group that in recent months achieved what once seemed like an unlikely goal: convincing many major American companies to take a stance on guns.
Targets decision shows that moms calling for reasonable reforms can move giants, said Erika Soto Lamb, the communications director for a coalition of gun reform organizations that include Moms Demand Action.
The third largest retailer in the U.S., Target is the biggest company yet to ban the so-called open carry of guns in its stores. (It should be noted that the companys logo is literally a target of the sort used at shooting ranges.) The Minneapolis-based company has about 1,700 stores in the U.S. and brought in more than $70 billion in revenue last year. Chipotle, Chilis and Sonic have made similar statements in recent months.

(100,087 posts)They're hunting trans people the same way that Joe Arpaio is catching illegal immigrants, the same way Gordon Klingenschmitt is chasing demons. They know they are not going to catch one in the act. But they keep the fear going because it stirs up the batshit crazy fundies and wins them votes. It's a propaganda grab, nothing more.

(5,506 posts)I really don't get it. I even saw some dumbass on Facebook denouncing the ' new laws the Libs are writing to let transgender people into the bathroom of their choice.' Um, idiots - they already can! There is no evidence of transgender people raping anybody. This whole thing is dumber than dumb.
