Are you REALLY trying to say that more people kill on purpose with cars than with guns???? Really? Probably not as many, but a significant number are killed in vehicle suicide. |

Really? Probably not as many, but a significant number are killed in vehicle suicide. What is a "significant number" of purposeful car deaths? THEN, compare that to the purposeful amount of gun deaths. The answer won't shock many, but it apparently will shock you! |

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. |

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. |

Maybe Starbucks wants to try to avoid a massacre like that one the gun nut committed in Seattle a few years ago at Cafe Racer. |
