Our friend Alan Gottlieb at the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms has been keeping track of businesses and CEOs who want to disarm America as part of a consumer information project called “Don’t Feed the Gun Prohibitionists.”
Gottlieb last week made the announcement that CCRKBA would be adding luxury fashion retailer Gucci to the notorious roster that currently includes about 200 companies.
“We were reminded that Gucci donated $500,000 to the anti-gun March for Our Lives group started three years ago, and quickly was co-opted by the gun prohibition lobby,” Gottlieb said in a press release.
“When we started this project last year,” Gottlieb recalled, “we were actually surprised, and in some cases disappointed, at some of the businesses we added to the list. We discovered several brand name businesses and corporate leaders who evidently have a nefarious agenda to limit gun rights. Their current and potential patrons should have the knowledge of what their hard earned dollars are actually funding.”
Gottlieb stopped short of calling for an outright boycott of those on the list.

“We’re not calling for a boycott of these companies,” Gottlieb said. “Businesses and the people who own them can support whatever kind of philosophy they want, and gun owning consumers can likewise not spend any money with those firms. Let the marketplace decide. Over 100 million American gun owners represent a sizeable consumer bloc, and they will decide where they spend their money.”

“We encourage people buy products from companies they can count on to not support efforts aimed at curtailing constitutional rights,” he explained. “By providing this information, we hope gun owning consumers are making reasonable decisions about which businesses to patronize. This might convince some businesses to re-think their core values.”
The assault on gun rights is coming at us from all angles. To be frank, there’s never been a time in history where there were more forces working in a coordinated manner to destroy one’s right to keep and bear arms.
SEE ALSO: Everytown Distances Bloomberg Comments But Addicted to His Billions
Think about it. Big tech is actively censoring, shadow-banning, and de-platforming pro-gun voices, big banks are refusing to offer financial services to 2A businesses, Hollywood is making a fortune demonizing gun ownership, the Biden administration is vowing to enact its gun-ban agenda and, perhaps, worst of all, Bloomberg is spending hundreds of millions to eradicate 2A rights.
Pause for a minute to really consider that last point. Bloomberg spent $1 billion during the 2020 election cycle. Sure, most of it was wasted on his failed presidential bid but a large chunk was also spent to get “gun sense” candidates in office.
Bloomberg’s worth an estimated $48 billion! He has money to burn. Which means, gun owners have to do everything in their power to fight back. Showing up at the ballot box is the obvious course of action but, also, we cannot forget about voting with our wallets. Money talks, as they say.
Whether it’s buying Wranglers over Levi’s or choosing Kroger over Costco, every little bit we can do to give our dollars to companies that share our values counteracts the financial impact of mini-Mike.
Gottlieb is correct, if we leverage our collective purchasing power and stay active and informed, we may over time be able to convince some of these CEOs and businesses to rethink their stance on firearms.
With as many retailers as there are out there we should be able to find alternate choices, I seen ebay on there. But they still sell gun parts. No listings for guns but it seems hypocritical of them to say they are for gun control but still are selling gun parts and paraphernalia? Librals you just can’t trust ’em.
Boycotting corporations and large businesses is fine and dandy but theirs one thing and one thing only every gun owner or 2A supporters need to remember and fully support and that’s Constitutional Law… no politician be they Presidents, Senators, Congressman/woman, Governor, Mayor down to Head Dogcatcher can legally remove or amend in any way shape or form the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution of These United States which CLEARLY STATES THE RIGHT TO HAVE AND BEAR ARMS “SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED UPON” and last time I checked the DEFINITION of that one sentence of Law clearly means…no changes, restrictions or amendments impeding law abiding citizens whatsoever from owning or possessing firearms!!! The Founding Fathers felt so strongly about Constitutional Law that it’s Protection is included in the Oaths of Government Office’s as well as Military Service and to further protect it they tossed in from ALL ENEMIES FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC… and those who are trying to change it hiding that change under the guise of being legal qualify as enemies and traitors to this nation and it’s laws and it’s citizens!!! GOD Bless America!
I looked up Autozone on Google, yes I know it is on the list, and all I could find on Autozone is they fired an employee for having a gun on premises or something like that. That to me is a lot different than being an active gun control company like Levi or Dicks.
NHTOWL you are a sheep along the flock. We allowed the Democratic Party to use Covid as an excuse to completely change the way we voted in 2020. 100 million, 125 million, 150 million NO one seems to know how many of those BS paper ballots were sent out. NO one seems to know exactly who was in charge of collecting, sorting and tabulating them. And it’s impossible for anyone to know exactly who filled them out. A household of say 7 people get 7 of those POS paper ballots , were you there to make sure each paper ballot was filled out by 7 different voters? How were those 125 plus million pieces of paper validated? No idea required, no addresses needed to be matched up, no identification needed, it was exactly what the left wanted and needed to happen. I’m not a conspiracy guy, but common sense goes a long way. A valid election is crucial to our countries way of life. That said if someone can not provide valid identification, then they don’t deserve to vote. Absentee ballots are absolutely fine, but to have pieces of paper that only require some scribble fill in the box like a 2nd grade test without proving that you are a registered voter was a disaster. The left doesn’t want to stop so called voter suppression, the left wants to create voter chaos. Big tech also ran interference with their selective information scam. Allowing all things anti trump to not only be posted but be blitzed at full speed, meanwhile anything anti Biden was removed or blocked . Funny also how Biden’s administration is loaded with big tech lobbyists, Biden’s chief of staff is one of the biggest lobbyists for FB , Google, Twitter. It’s a mess. Big tech has complete control of the Biden administration, and these companies listed are all apart of this cancel culture, misinformation way of doing business nowadays. The future of our country is on the line, if they can cancel Dr Seuss, attack mr potato head, take the dukes of hazard off the air , then everything is a target for these Anti American companies.
Levis is the company that irritates me the most, their CEO served. The others are sheep what do you expect from sheep, I’m already boycotting levis, and the rest to follow. They do not understand what will happen if only our police, and military are armed. They arrive after the fact so why call them at all. Half of them do not care ad it is, I’ve witnessed it 1st hand, it’s a shame, honor and integrity is a thing of the past
So I would expect the movie and TV industry that are opposed to guns to no longer produce films about War, armed conflicts or any movie/show that uses a weapon. So that would include companies on the list: Bad Robot, NBC Universal, Comcast, Disney, HBO, MTV, Showtime, AOL/Time Warner. I’m sure I missed a few. But if they produce movies but condemn guns then they are nothing but a bunch of Hypocrites.
Hypocritically, HBO broadcasts oodles of shoot’mup movies featuring gratuitous sex and violence.
I’ve written letters to these businesses I used to do business with. The more of you who let these businesses know about how you, their customers feel about their public anti-gun stance, and that you’ll stop doing business with them, they might just consider their options. I can always find a pro-gun or at least neutral gun place to do business with. It’s the capitalist way of life. “With no Bucks, there’s no Buck Rogers”.
For each company listed there should be one or more 2A friendly alternative listed.
Agreed, after each one should be an alternative with a score of 1,2,3. 1 being NRA / R2BA donor, 2 active supporter and 3. No active work against 2a. List should be “active opposition to 2a” aka Levi’s
I avoid all of these companies that I can, and echo the sentiment of the one poster that requested an alternative to some of these companies. it is difficult to avoid EBay, PayPal, and Amazon these days.
And I would (and have) go even further, do not patronize companies in blue states, nor vacation there.
Don’t choose Kroger over CostCo. FYI —
https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/retail/2018/03/19/kroger-stops-selling-magazines-featuring-assault-rifles/437289002/
The list needs a trademarked™ name so all, including the media, will know what list we are talking about.
I suggest having stickers made with the list name on it so we can leave the sticker everywhere we go.
Amazon should definitely be in this list
I stopped being a customer of all of these long ago, these people don’t understand what will happen when the left disarms America. The Government needs to fear the People; the People shouldn’t fear the Government.
YES: we need to call for a boycott of these companies, “We do not need to fall into being like our spineless representatives, we need to show so back bone and put these companies out of business. If you invest money, it should not be invested in these companies. Our FOURFATHERS gave a lot, some everything for the FREEDOM, we have and use to enjoy. so, we can give up some luxuries. We need to stand together and start a new PARTY and get out of the Republican party they are spinless and in the swamp for their good not ours.
How about a list of competitors to these companies that are ‘pro gun’. Or atleast NOT anti gun.
Is there an app to keep up with this?
Name one group of people in history who fought for book banning, speech censure, and populace disarmament who were ‘good guys’? We’re waiting,….
In the same light I would love to see a list of CEO’s/ companies that are anti constitutional abortion.
What does that mean? What is constitutional abortion? Are you talking about a non-existent right to kill your child? Or are you saying some CEOs/companies want to abort the Constitution? Please clarify.
They want us to spend our dollars supporting their businesses,
while they seek to control our freedom. This is the kind of information we need. I sent this to twenty five friends.Thank you and keep up the great work!
They will not be getting anymore of my money !
Someone should put together a list of businesses who don’t allow patrons to carry a firearm into their establishment as well.
I carry concealed in those places anyway. So far nobody has approached me about it.
Get a printable list out there, let’s add to it there are 80 million consumers outs there
It’s not enough to stop buying from these anti constitutional types. We need to make statements. Sending a letter and including your credit card, Costco card, when you close an acct let the moron on the phone know exactly why. If they start seeing, as well as hearing they may understand why the profits are down(if we do it en masse)
Thank you Mr Gottlieb for compiling this list. Nice to hear about another Jew who isn’t a G–D—–d communist. Unfortunately almost all tech companies are on it. It would also be really helpful to have a list of companies that are for the right to keep and bear arms.
GE is on the list. They still manufacture components and parts for weapons systems for the US and other foreign Militaries.
I appreciate the list, but I’d like to know specifically what they did to trample our rights. I know companies like Dick’s and Levi’s actively donated and/or hired lobbyists to change firearms laws. However, if some company simply gave money to an anti-gun politico in power, that’s pretty standard for any business that is politically active. Not condoning it, but that’s not unique at all in politics . Love the idea of having a list of businesses to avoid, but I would like to know specifically what they did.
The Dick’s by me took all guns and hunting equipment out of their store and no longer carries anything. Guns, ammo, everything. Gone. Doesn’t sound like a store that supports the 2nd ammendment to me. They caved. Like our politicians.
Excellent list, found some I use, no use writing to them, I’ll simply change vendors and to hell with the commies.
We all need to stop just talking and do something about it! I’m going to go to each of the websites of the companies I’ve used or might possibly use in the future and tell them why I’m not going to patronize them. And then, shop somewhere else or use a different bank or service. I still know too many people with their heads in the sand, and/or say “we won’t have any place to shop”. Well, that’s because we didn’t act sooner and let it get to this point.
Boycotts don’t work. Lamp posts do…
eBay? Really? eBay has thousands of gun parts and accessories advertised for sale. Guess we won’t buy from eBay
Ebay banned the sale of firearms on their website years ago. I guess gun parts aren’t very useful without a gun to go with them.
Nice list. But just for spite, I used PayPal to buy three guns thus past year .
How about a list of pro gun
This is an informational list. To send a message, one needs to pick out who would be high profile and vulnerable to being taken down. Realize that much of Levi’s advertising is directed at working class, i,personally havw not used Levi’s products since 1999 when my month-old 501s split right through the crotch while I was on the sales floor.
Its unfortunate there isn’t a list of places that are pro 2nd amendment.
There are some pretty heavy corporations listed on the anti side.
Interesting Burger King and Subway are on the list when all the reported shootings occur at McDonalds.
If you want to end Hollywood it is simple, they do it in the drug business and in ‘don’t buy books from crooks.’
All assets from movies using guns will be taxed at 100% and the money will go to programs to control illegal guns, lawsuits etc. They create the problem by romanticizing guns, then try to deprive you of them. Several years ago when we still had video rental stores I went in and swept the store from left to right and counted how many movies had guns in them or on the cover of the video. 95% !!!
Want to make it more interesting? Pass a law that anyone in a movie with a gun has to take a course and pass a test, not only on general knowledge but competence and accuracy. That way only people who actually know guns can be filmed with guns.
Well, I found 3 or 4 on this list that I do use, but most of them I wouldn’t spit on, if they were on fire! I intend to write to those I do use, and gently express my displeasure. I just filed my taxes not 30 minutes ago, with Intuit (Turbo Tax). Wish I had seen this list first, because I would have found a new tax filer…
Good list of monsters not to feed.
To have greater impact Send copies of receipts from the good companies to the ones we starve with the sentence “I could have purchased from you but you oppose my beliefs and feed my enemies”
11 total for me. 2 for e-mail only.
5 companies I’ve used once in the past year.
Hard to get around YUM brands. They own a lot of fast food brands!
Opened a CU account locally to close BofA next week.
Bad Robot is JJ Abrams movies. Mission Impossible. Star Wars. Star Trek. TV shows which I do not watch.
Use Nextdoor and Yelp weekly.
These type of Articles need to be made public, for all to see. I can see there will need to be a fee businesses i will be patronizing.
***
The recent surge in gun and ammo sales shows clearly that MILLIONS! of Citizens have finally woken up and realized that the Far Left donk / New CPUSA! / GOP Elite Assistant donk Clown Posse’s current agendas will make us all less safe soon. Open borders, criminal no bond required catch and release, defunding and persecuting the police, etc. will put lots more criminals in our paths.
***
These clowns are the best gun and ammo salesmen ever! I know lots of people who have finally bought their first guns, and are getting training in how to use them properly. Gun owners will outvote the companies on this gun grabber enabler lists for sure!

…By what criteria was it established that these companies want to “disarm America”? Please people think before you believe everything you read.
Alan gottlieb backs this list.
Since I was a teenager I have supported his war against the Anti constitution tyrant wannabees.ill trust his work.
And you do you
…Are these the same “supporters of the constitution” that want to negate states rights in determining their general election results and are now working to make voting more difficult for minorities? Not interested. What facts are compelling you to assert that those who support reasonable gun control measures are “Anti constitution tyrant wannabees”? Why not gather some factual information (in contrast to the NRA supported Dickey ammendment) and lets find some common ground in protecting 2A rights while protecting the public from bad people with guns (the Vegas shooting, Virginia Tech…etc.). For a source of unbiased information generally I look to factcheck.org (supported by the University of Penn.). Lets not let fear and suspicion cause us to embrace a false “reality”.
Ah, you played your hand in what you think are “facts” by stating that you trust factcheck.org.
By the only criteria that counts. Money donated to Anti 2A causes.
Money donated to anti-2A groups, statements made by their CEOs, actions that their CEOs and/or companies have done. You know, it’s not hard to determine these things…
It is not easy to refrain from doing business with some of the aforementioned businesses (ie. Google, PayPal). In some cases there are no viable options. It is easier to support businesses/organizations that DO support the 2nd Amendment. However, one must be careful to vet those businesses/organizarizations and not support them JUST because they support 2nd Amendment rights – make sure it supports ALL RIGHTS for ALL law-biding citizens
I personal have been boycotting these companies for years. I don’t know if it makes a big difference but it does to me. Our country and constitution is bigger than any of these communist including the NFL. Any company with leadership that is stupid enough to alienate their customer base over a constitutional right needs to be put out of business. There’s tremendous opportunity here, just start your own business and market to the millions of gun owners. Put these turds out of business and hopefully out of our great country.
The only one on the list that I use is e-bay unless there is an alternative I will continue to use e bay.
Way to sell out. That’s the problem.
At least try AliExpress, or order directly from a website. Some have descent deals and/or free shipping. Even if you pay a little more, isn’t it worth not losing your freedoms?
Not fair to call someone a “sell out.” How do you know this person’s situation? He may be relying on an eBay seller for certain goods that no one else has. Don’t be so quick to judge and label. Isn’t that what libs do?
Oh, nice choice there, Frankie B, I see you have put a lot of thought and research into YOUR choice at least!! BTW, did you happen to find any profile information on your AliExpress to back up your pick?????
Take a look here:
“AliExpress is an online retail service based in China owned by the Alibaba Group. Launched in 2010, it is made up of small businesses in China and other locations, such as Singapore, that offer products to international online buyers. It is the most visited e-commerce website in Russia and was the 10th most popular website in Brazil”
Oops, another one down and another one down, another one bites the dust!!!!!
Ebay at one time was one of the largest Gun selling platforms. I purchased at least 20 firearms for my Gun Shop back in the day. Once they purchased Paypal, they stopped allowing firearm related items even through you can still find multiple firearm parts on their site. GunsAmerica started right after Ebay stopped allowing gun sales.
Great list. Thank you. I went through the list and found 13 companies that I have some sort of business with over the past year or so. But only 6 that I patron regularly or my family does.
I’ll be having the talk with my family about these.
Like most of us, the rest of the list is a bunch of crap biz that I don’t want or need in my life.
Harbor Freight, Google. Apple. Pretty much any company that gives money to the Democrats
Harbor Freight gives money to the Democrats? Where did you see that?
Just commenting on I didn’t hear about HF and their political leanings either and since they advertise in NRA publications, think HF and the anti-gun crowd don’t mix.
In my opinion, the list of these gun grabbing, anti-second amendment companies, are all part of the globalist cabal that are helping push through a communist agenda and ultimately want a NWO. American’s won’t stand for communism, so this is precisely why they and the deepstate democrats and republicans, are trying to confiscate our guns so we as Americans have no way to stop this agenda to protect our freedoms.
Don’t use any of these companies
Alphabet, Inc. is of course the most reaching, composed of all of Google, YouTube, Android & Chrome Operating Systems, etc. Not sure how Apple, Amazon and Facebook didn’t make the list?
I would suggest if you can’t quit these companies, you try to do less business with them, if possible. Some are virtual monopolies or in tight lock-step with each other, like the Film and Television Industry or the Grocery Companies.
In any event it is good to know who is aligned with the oppressor class, Knowledge is Power.
You could copy/paste this list into companies dedicated to destroying the First Amendment as well. They’re all globalists, they all belong to the same club, and like the late George Carlin reminded us time and time again, YOU’RE NOT IN IT!
Thanks for the extensive list, I will make my spending choices accordingly, you might want to add one more leftist company to this list, Koles department stores.
“Kohl’s”
It is very sad and troubling to see companies that most of us patron everyday be so anti-2A. When you see lists like this, it is very easy to say, “I will never do business with them again!”
For most of us, that is not realistic. We need to make change at the voting booth and try our best to support companies that do support the 2A as much as possible.
Don’t just b!tch and make empty statements that you will not be able to honor. (think New Year’s resolutions. How many of those do you keep?)
Donate to the NRA, GOA and your local state firearm associations. These organizations fight tooth and nail every day at the state and federal level for our 2A rights.
Thanks
What good does voting do. They cheat. They thow out our ballots. Both parties showed their true colors. I voted for Donald Trump. Not the Democrats or the Republicans. Neither party would investigate the evidence. It was, cow tow to the mob of criminal protesters. All of these politicians are criminals. Throwing out our constitutional rights is their objective. They only want to continue this game of staying in power and doing nothing. The fake news is to blame. Also the ignorance of most of our young people. But then, dumbing up the population is their goal.
What nonsense! Each state investigated the outcome of the general election independently and affirmed the outcome – despite what Dishonest Don would have you believe. The myriad of allegations, especially those by Rudy G., were investigated and dismissed for lack of evidence. I live in Oregon and we’ve been voting by mail for years with no issues. Why now, in the presence of a pandemic that has claimed more than half a million lives in the span of a year, are we averse to voting my mail? The reason is voter suppression efforts (like those taken by the trump appointed post master general) of the broader public – which generally opposes the GOP and their servitude to the 1%ers. Specific to Fake News – that’s a broken record. There is no conspiracy to feed the public fake news to some left leaning outcome – Just think of the logistics involved if it was attempted. The closed I can see is Fox News, OAN and Newsmax. We should support the 1st as well as the 2nd amendment because together, along with the remaining bill of rights, our liberty and self governance is maintained. Truth, and the right to challenge falsehoods without being sent to prison by an autocrat, are required inputs to our republic. Lets wrap up the bumper sticker logic, investigate the facts to the extent that science and the law allow and come together on issues rather than demonize democrats or “Liberals” as being anti-american. I know there’s money in it for the corporate media players, but this multi-gun owning progressive thinking USAF vet thinks we can do better. Peace out.
So thought process on this for me. Keep going about doing what we do every day. Make one change. Nobody goes to autozone. If we all atop going to autozone they are going out of business or changing there mind real quick. Either way we move on down the list. I think we can all skip gucci.
WELL I’m not going to throw out my Levis but I’m not buying any more either.
We should boycott any and all businesses that support anti-gun legislation. This latest assault on our Constitutional rights needs to be nipped in the bud. Responsible gun owners are as concerned about gun violence as anybody else. Guns are not the problem. Place the blame where it belongs and that is on the people who pulled the trigger. Something else that needs attention is the fact that far more homicides are committed each year by means other than firearms.
If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns. This is an ancient quotation, but it is absolutely true. The bad guys do not play by the rules and never have. These anti-gun people have not thought this through to its logical conclusion. What kind of country would we have if only the government and criminals possessed firearms? Nobody would be safe from either the government or the bad guys. The second Amendment was drafted and became part of our Constitution for a reason. Finally, social programs that provide a minimum standard of living are not Socialism. There is no reason that there should be anyone who does not have access to adequate health care, nutrition, housing, or any other necessity in a country as wealthy as ours.
Social programs ARE socialism. Why do you think they’re called SOCIAL? Everyone has access to healthcare, nutrition and health care at their own expense. No one is entitled for other people to pay for it unless they’re disabled or under extenuating circumstances. Those who CHOOSE not to become educated or not to work are in my opinion not entitled to a damn thing.
I think they have thought this through. That’s exactly what they want. For you not to be able to defend yourself or resist being told what to do by them. The reason They want to get rid of guns is to protect themselves from us who have guns..
That’s the entire point of the exercise – make the general population feel unsafe so they have to run to the government for “security”. A population dependent on the government is very easy to keep under control.
“An armed man is a citizen, an unarmed man is a subject”
Hi, Boy am I in trouble. I don’t know if I can live without Costco. I’ve used AT&T for years. I’ll do my best but won’t be perfect. The sad part is that the companies won’t know why we are not supporting them. Terry
You have to tell them!
They should focus their energy on disarming the criminals who own firearms illegally. If they disarm law abiding citizens how are their personal security teams going to keep them safe? We all know criminals will ALWAYS find a way to get firearms. They are trying to do this for control. They think if they disarm everyone it will be easier for them to do what they want with no resistance from we the people. That’s all this is. It’s all about control.
We stopped shopping at Costco a few months ago. Missed them at first, but now we’re over it. I don’t mind paying a little more and having to go make a couple more stops if I don’t have to shop at left-wing establishments like Costco. You’ll be OK!
Levi’s? Crazy. How many gun owners have these jeans.
COSTCO! They sell cheap safes that don’t secure guns from a thief’s.
They are what they are. Power is in the Vote. Keep ultra left out of power.
The Left is the Left. Socialism, communism, fascism (Yes fascism. Forget what your leftist professors told you. Fascism was born out of socialism. Mussolini said so many times.), whatever it’s dressed up as, the result is the same. Centralized power held by a ruling few, while the vast majority are reduced to a a completely servile existence.
You are correct. Today’s American Democrat Left resembles the race-obsessed NDSP of Nazi Germany. The Nazis were against the German conservative Christian Right of the 1920s and 1930s and sought to unite Europe’s workers through race rather than Marxist class warfare. What happened post-WWII is the Int’l Left, comprised of Soviet Jews and their peers in the collective West’s institutions, intentionally mislabeled Nazism as a ‘Rightist’ ideology to provide cover for their now 100-year-old war against native white majorities.
Quite frankly I’m getting sick of the pull back on calling for boycotts. We SHOULD BOYCOTT these companies. Money is all that they care about so hit em where it has the most impact.
Absolutely!
Facebook & Twitter should definitely be added to the list!!
I am safe. I do not use anyone of them.
Did you notice, that if you want to share this article, your options are all flaming left? Where is the “Right” leaning site GAB,com?
Fuck’em all!!!
Thanks for the list will begin to change companies ASAP
Put your money where your mouth is don’t buy from these companies there out to disarm the American people and take away the second Amendment which is our right to defend ourselves.
Burn them all down.
We really need someone to start a new cable company or Satellite system that caters to Constitutional Conservatives. We need alternative News outlets and Conservative Social Media. There is a very real attempt to take the communication ability away from Conservatives. The attack on Freedom of Speech and the rest of the Bill of Rights has never been greater than in the last year an the last two months. That will only continue. A new “Dish” alternative would help change that . AND if there it would be successful. Remember half the or more of the country would be supporting it. There really was a reason FOX once blew CNN and CNBC out of the water. That really has sadly stopped . But an actual new “cable” company offering an alternative to what is being attempted would help tremendously. I will switch from Comcast in a New York second if there is an alternative available. There are real alternatives to almost every thing else but viable social media. We need a conservative “Facetime” a conservative Twitter, an actual conservative media. Not a show on cable networks that support attacking our Rights. As incredibly lucrative as FOX was, you can not tell me there would not be a huge following and audience for such…
So by “cater to” do you mean provide an echo chamber for?… Why not ask that the public value truth and truth finding more rather than search for new outlets to reinforce one’s own comfortable position. Should we begin teaching our kids to hold on to their preconceived notions (whatever they are) and not listen to others (perhaps more informed) perspectives? As a next step, maybe a good ole fashioned book burning would be useful to eliminate all counterviewpoints and better assimilate one’s own notions more broadly…. Oh wait that’s been done already and didn’t work out so well for the perpetrators…
I think more shared discussion is needed coupled with the capacity to learn and grow as scientific or economic evidence supports… I could go on, but I’m worried about the lack of civility in our nation and the inability of our governmental leaders to collectively draft sustainable national policies (i.e. jobs, public health, economy, national and foreign policy, environment…etc.). God Bless and stay safe.
It woulld be very helpful to list the compitition to each one listed that does support 2A so we can do business with them instead.
Exactly, Rick! From what it looks like, writing off all of these outfits would pretty much relegate you to an 1890’s style of life. If you want to live like the Unibomber, I guess that’s ok. But I prefer some degree of modern technology and convenience. So suggested alternatives would make Gottlieb’s charge much more actionable.
Yea most losers can’t put the crack pipe down. They have you hook line and sinker.
Yes, what are the companies that we can choose to support more?
Post all companies we should support and lets all give them 1000000% of our business.
The only thing I don’t understand is WHY they want to disarm us? What is the rationale?
Simple enough. Virtue Signaling to attract those who push the failed ideal of Socialism (which has never been successful, anywhere, anytime, except for a few self appointed figureheads at the top) AND We, The People simply don’t matter to them.
What are the criteria used to decide who qualifies for this list? I am hopeful that it is very loose because as this stands, you’d might as well move out into the country and start a subsistence lifestyle. Maybe we should draw a line so as to highlight the worst offenders. Maybe we should distinguish between those who just want more background checks versus those who want outright bans or other radical measures. P.S. I think 2A should be unconditional, as conditionals can be exploited to selectively deny rights, but I think there is a difference between misguided attempts to reduce violence and the just-plain-wrong belief that criminals should have the advantages to murder you with impunity.
I’ll never shop,, trade or work with any of these businesses again. I will also encourage anyone I know to do likewise. I live in Shawnee Oklahoma , the home of the original Sonic and new the , Smiths, inventor’s were from here. I will never eat there again. . I have been eating there for approximately 60 years.
Thanks for publishing a list of companies that doesn’t have my best interest in mind. They need to stick to business and leave politics and 2a issues alone!
Just a thought, but if there is a list of companies that do promote 2nd ammendment rights publish it. If there isnt one create it.
Such a listwould allow consumers to make a more informed choice.
Exactly, Clyde! From what it looks like, writing off all of these outfits would pretty much relegate you to an 1890’s style of life. If you want to live like the Unibomber, I guess that’s ok. But I prefer some degree of modern technology and convenience. So suggested alternatives would make Gottlieb’s charge much more actionable.
Houston, we have a math problem…
Explain: why is Stand your ground
Racist? Please give me a rational
Explanation.
THERE IS ONLY ONE REASON THEY WANT OUR GUNS, THEIR INTENTIONS FOR US WOULD PROMPT US TO ANNIHILATE THEM!!
These wealthy people set back in there luxury chairs and in there expensive mansions and don’t have any idea of what the real world is like, or they just don’t care because they are wealthy and can afford to have body guards. “We the people” – have to take care of our self’s and loved ones, that up to us, take away our guns and the only people with guns are the criminals. I know all of you gun haters hear that all the time but you’re wrong, we live and love the constitution of the United States – if you don’t than just shut up!.
Good article and thanks for listing out all the companies. One major typo though, one billion dollars given to 330 million Americans is $3.03 for everybody.
