Does anyone know which one will have a large amount of antis there? I don't want to go to the one near me if I'll be the only guy making a statement.
I'll drop my daughters off at McCarthy at 745, be at SB by 8. I'll be wearing my Appleseeds shirt. Maybe I'll grab a tray of pastries, bring a book...
So it's semi-official, Chelmsford/Lowell area hang at Drum Hill SB starting at 8am... Maybe we can keep somebody there all day

Sounds good to me I'll be there at 8 with my smith and wesson hoodie, I'll be able to stay for a couple hours until I have to head into work
From NGVAC gunvictumaction.org -
But safety is not their concern. The real
reason they oppose this is their fear that if the government knows who has
guns, the government can them take them away.
But they do not take into account that if the government wanted your guns
they do not need to know who owns them. The government would pass a law
that all guns had to be turned in in 60 days and anyone not turning them in
would go to jail for 20 years and be fined $1,000,000 dollars. Then they
would make anyone who knew someone that had not turned the gun in an
accomplice and they would go to jail for 10 years and be fined $500,000.
Finally, the government would bribe people to turn in the names of people
who still had guns. But these simple minded gun owners do not think of
these kinds of these logical threads.
They ought to try applying that logic to eliminating marijuana grow ops. OTOH, without pot, these simple-minded hoplophones would not be able to think along these 'logical' threads either.These guys are scaryBut they do not take into account that if the government wanted your guns they do not need to know who owns them.

I was thinking the same. Probably one in Boston (just a guess).

NES meet and greet at a Starbucks? someone will need to buy some coffee.
Even if they didnt like guns, could they do anything about it? They could put up a sign and try to kick you out, but thats about it, right?
These guys are scary
"Starbucks allowing guns to be carried in thousands of their stores significantly increases everyone's risk of being a victim of gun violence," says Elliot Fineman, CEO of the NGAC. "Open and conceal and carry are among the reasons there are 12,000 gun homicides each year in the U.S. If we had England's gun laws we would expect 375 gun homicides each year—97% less than we have. England's gun laws are based on protecting public safety, ours on maximizing sales for the gun industry."
these guys are terribly misinformed, cracks me up
City folk have such a different idea of "MetroWest" than I do.
In some states, signs put up by owners of private property carry the same weight as if it was written in the law.

I wanted to say kudos to your company for standing up for our civil rights. I understand that on Valentine's Day an anti-gun group is going to be protesting at locations across the country. My friends and I heard about this and we will make sure that we patronize your store on that day (with a Pro 2A piece of apparel) to show our suppot for your company (even those cavemen who don't like your coffee). I love your coffee!

I think its good business. Think about it, how many broke free loaders do you know that are gun owners?

AHHHH, killing my brain. In the last 10 years the brits have had almost a 100% increase in gun related crime, and it's well known that knife crime is crazy high there.
We have 300mil+ people, they have 51mil. 1/6th our size, so the 97% value is trash. As for the 375 gun homicides? I couldn't find that value ANYWHERE.
sonofa...
What a beautiful sign.
Tell me where that is, and I'll transfer my accounts.
How many pro gun people will be at Starbucks on Feb 14? I know my wife and I have decided we're going at least twice!
Kind of a long drive to Chappell Hill Bank in Texas.What a beautiful sign.
Tell me where that is, and I'll transfer my accounts.
