A few days ago, Moms Demand Action triumphantly announced that it has convinced a Staples, located in Arlington, VA, to enact a gun-free zone policy for its store.
This turned out to be a complete and utter lie. The numerous phone calls to the store to inquire about the event all came up as, no, it did not happen.
We made a phone call to the store and obtained a recording to confirm this.
Skip to 00:56 for the conversation with a store associate.
Caller: I’ve been hearing reports about your store, the particular location, enacting a gun prohibition policy?
Store: Yeah, that was a misquote on Facebook. We never had signed up, they put it in there, and we are trying to get it taken down… But we don’t have that sign on the store… They put a bunch of information on Facebook that wasn’t accurate.
Following the disastrous outcome of what happened at Starbucks (the not-so-ban “ban”), I guess the MDA needs all the propaganda help it can make up.
Moms Demand Action has come unglued so they turned to Staples.
Staples of all places doesn't carry the staples I need for my Easy Shot Staple Gun.

Moms Demand Action? OK - GROUP BUY - GET THESE MOMS SOME VIBRATORS.
I bet a good number of them live in gated communities and never interact with the outside world. Must be nice to live in fantasyland. Go to downtown Chicago on a weekend night and get back to me
Staples is a corporation, so "a Staples, located in Arlington, VA" cannot implement policy without clearance from HQ.
That said, Staples will eventually cave to MDA because the company will calculate that an MDA-sponsored boycott would affect the bottom line more than a boycott by carriers. My guess is the FB post was a ploy to get PR for the cause as part of the campaign against Staples started by MDA in October.
As well they should, but Staples is a public company, and thus is beholden to shareholders not "business owners." If caving to MDA will make their stock go up one cent, they will do it. So far Staples has been trying to stay out of the fight so they don't become another ground zero for the war against guns, like Starbucks did.lots of business owners carry.
CALL TO ACTION: Last week, Moms Demand Action met with the manager of the Arlington, VA, Staples and he agreed to make the store gun free. However, this week the store was overwhelmed by calls from #GunBullies and now they may change their position.
Moms, no matter where you live, call Staples and ask them why they're kowtowing to #GunBullies. Tell them moms make 80% of all spending decisions; no guns in stores:
I assume the 80% figure is a lie too
their logic defies common sense
It's as important as it is hilarious. Unfortunately controlling the language matters. Members of _any_ group counter-protesting MDA in any way, authors of _any_ pro-gun opinion submitted in response to MDA's press releases or interviews, the gun industry, etc. are now referred to as "gun bullies." MDA is also pushing hard on the terror/-ist/-ism moniker for those same groups. Shannon Watts is a PR pro; most pro-gun protest groups do not include a PR pro. Combine that with a media sympathetic to MDA, and guess which side is going to be successfully portrayed as "bullies" and "terrorists" at each encounter?
