With the "general public," I think guns are more and more looked upon as


- excuse the analogy, but it works - cigarettes.


They are found to be increasingly unacceptable.


Like cigarettes, guns won't go away, but will be more highly taxed,


regulated, and suppressed.


And it will make a difference in innocent deaths.


But the NRA will do all they can to keep that from happening.






I hear Starbucks suggested that patrons leave their guns outside.

Waiting for NRA reaction.

Probably have gun nuts boycott Starbucks, just like Jesse Jackson or Al

Sharpton would do for their "causes."

Maybe write nasty letters to Starbucks too.

Maybe even hold a shoot-in.

Anyway, I'm feeling a little bit psychic. Just a little.


SC has concealed carry, and businesses can chose to post signs banning concealed carry inside the business. Many have, and there has been no backlash from the NRA against any of those that I'm aware of.

Maybe your "feeling" is that bad taco you had today for lunch.


Even worse. I had Walmart pizza for lunch.
Didn't know that many businesses bar firearms in SC.
Now it's Starbucks, but they're only "suggesting" you keep your firearms
at home.
Though I don't go to Starbucks, I understand they're a big outfit.
Their "suggesting" reminds me of how it went with cigarettes.
Started with something like "We appreciate if you don't smoke here."
We'll see if the NRA responds. Maybe they figure they should keep their
traps shut on this one.
