What companies are for gun control?

I did not realize Wells Fargo was pro-gun! I’ll definitely keep that in mind if I ever need a new bank.

FEDEX

A few years ago a FedEx customer service rep told me over the phone that FedEx management believes that only the military and the police should have “assault-type rifles.” Or he might have actually said “firearms,” can’t remember exactly.

My firm is a frequent user of express shipping services for sending documents, and before that conversation with that FedEx person, we typically used FedEx. We haven’t used them since then except to receive documents and shipments from parties who give us no other choice.

After that, I called Lone Star Overnight to tell them that we were leaving FedEx and our reason for doing so, to ask of their management’s policy on the issue, and to ask if they wanted our business. I left a message in that regard for the sales manager for our area. He never returned my call.

Their loss.

So, we’ve been using USPS since then.

I can live without every business on the list except Hooters. We all have our faults.

@Michael7 come on… if I can give up Costco and Joann Fabrics, you can give up Hooters… :laughing:
What I can’t figure out is why, given their position, Costco sells gun safes.

They sell gun safes so you have someplace to leave your gun if you want to shop in their store.:crazy_face:

Found a comprehensive listing of businesses and people who are anti-2A. Some are complete hypocrites since they made their fortunes holding, or pretending to use firearms (e.g Matt Damon). SMH.

Find a local restaurant that does wings and celery, @Michael7. There are plenty of corner pubs in Wisconsin that have better wings than Hooters!

I thought I heard something about Levi’s CEO hopping onboard the Bloomberg train too. Definitely disappointed since I have supported them so much over my lifetime. And my 49ers home stadium is named Levi’s Stadium. :triumph:
Corporations Alienating Customers. Smart.

@dawn, yep. I think those folks want us dead in multiple ways.

@Zee & @Dawn I say until we definitively know what companies can get/be eliminated from the list of companies I say that all are suspect for any further illegal draconian gun control laws or companies turning customers into law enforcement agencies for no other reason than they may/don’t like you or me or Mr or MS XYZ, the “latest and greatest” Extreme Risk Protection Laws are very unspecific and I still cannot see anything about Due Process with any state.

@Zee & @Dawn In my professional opinion all the fast food franchises are extremely unhealthy with their ingredients, their sanitary conditions or best practices. I could always tell when I opened someone up to embalm the body what overall kind of a diet they had. When people die tissues show things arteries tell a story when you open up a body I could always tell by how their organs appeared during autopsy. Fast food is early and cheap death in my view.
