2. Yes! That wild west was a haven to gun slingers

Except that there were towns that required firearms to be given up when they entered the town.

[onehandle]

3. Ah. Back when things were 'civilized.'

Cue a gungeoneer to fake a tangent subject outrage.

[PavePusher]

13. Yeah...

and many towns back then were heavily segregated. That was good for law and order too.

Right?

4. If nutjobs want to drink that swill, they can have it.

Ugh.

[cowman]

6. It just

pissed you off that Starbucks hasn't caved to you gun grabbers.

7. When did DU turn so authoritarian rightwing?

They are all over this thread.

11. AikoAiko he was responding to someone else

who clearly is one of the fools that think Starbucks has no right to run their business any way they want, and no right to respect the rights of others.

[LanternWaste]

His satire is certainly puncturing some sacred cows... :) Too funny

[aikoaiko]

10. I think its the other way around, Starbucks slaughered the anti-gun sacred cow of...

...not allowing open carry and the whining has begun.

12. The Brady Campaign says "jump"

and the MSM says "on who, and how hard?"

It's interesting to see how the Brady Campaign PR attack against Starbucks has played out in the corporate media. The vast majority of retail establishments have exactly the same policy as Starbucks, so anyone specifically slamming Starbucks for it is merely following the Brady Campaign's talking points.

Starbucks has told the Brady Campaign they want to stay out of the controversy and let state governments set the carry rules (which they do), and that is driving the Bradyites nuts.
