Staples Equates FFL with Hate Groups/Illegal Drug Dealers

I stole the title of this from another forum because it says it all.

Staples Says Gun Store Can’t Enter Contest

Of course, Staples' headquarters is in Taxachusetts.

Pass this around to any other forums you frequent.

Alienating millions of gun owners that will go buy their office supplies elsewhere?

That was easy.

[DryBones]

remember Mitt Romney use to run that place.

a friend has pointed me to this company that is supposed to have a gun friendly staff...

Hmm. I've been doing business with Office Depot for the past few years, anyway. Just happened to like their customer service better.

Is there an app that tracks everything we need to boycott? It's sad there are so many successful companies with policies like this these days. The lists are getting too long and growing too fast to keep up with.

Staples just posted this on their Facebook page 30 minutes ago:

"We heard you! At Staples, we value all of our customers and appreciate your feedback. We now realize the rules of our Push It Forward contest were too restrictive and kept out legitimate businesses. Unfortunately, we can't change the rules once the contest is underway. But we will revise our rules to make sure future contests are more inclusive and reflect our commitment to helping all small businesses."

Somebody that does Facebook ought to post:

"Tough Sh!t. We heard YOU the first time. Office Depot here we come."

[OakRidgeStars]

Looks like the geniuses at Staples are already sliding down the dumper.

Glad to see they made that announcement. Not every company caves to pressure from us. At least it's a start.

One app is called "Buycott".

There sure is. NRA-ILA has one. It is damned big.

I used to like to go there for my office supplies, I haven't gone in a long time because of their irrational anti gun phobia, and they will not get another dollar from me. Now I know they could care less about the few hundred dollars a year I would have spent there, but, how many gun owners are there in the country? That could hurt.

Amen to that, and we can't change the decision not to do business with you anymore once we made that decision. So, say goodbye to about oh, 20-30 million gun owners once the word is spread by us gun nuts.

[ProShooter]

We were one of the companies affected by the contest decision.....they really shot themselves in the foot here.

[VACoastie]

Ha! I see what you did there ProShooter. Zing!
