Higher gun ownership equals higher rate of homicide

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. Perhaps the NRA doesn't give a **** one way or the other. -- John H. Hope you're having a great day! |

In article ,
says... In article , says... Perhaps the NRA doesn't give a **** one way or the other. Just don't seem right letting NRA members, and honest, upright gun- owners be treated like smokers. Just don't seem right. If the NRA won't stand up for the right for a legal and upright gun owner to have a cup of coffee with his legal gun on his hip, who will? Treating a gun-owner like you would a smoker! Disgraceful! It ain't right, I'm telling you, it just ain't right. What if somebody comes in to shoot the place up, and kill everybody? Hell, that just happened in that DC Navy yard. But I'm willing to give the NRA a chance here. It's still early. Private businesses have the right to deny service to anyone they want. |

Uh, yes, as long as it's not in violation of any specific Civil Rights law, i.e. racial discrimination, etc. Anyone can be determined to be persona non grata at the discretion of the business owner if he/she feels that person is or may be disruptive to the business. |

That's right...you can't legally discriminate and therefore private businesses do not have the right to deny service to anyone they want without a reason that doesn't violate the law. So, the answer remains, "Uh, no." |
