It has been about a week since Walmart and Kroger made the decision to "politely" ask that we not open carry in stores.
I have read all the threads and comments regarding our rights and their rights. Etc. Read some good and not so good ideas on how we answer this situation and have come to one conclusion that I think is at the crux of the issue. The thing that is the burr under the saddle, and this is it....
By this action, at this time, in this climate, Walmart, Kroger, CVS et al are blaming lawful law abiding gun owners for the mass killings and other gun violence.
They are plainly signaling that we are the problem. Us, our guns, our attitudes, everything we are and believe are the problem with the country.
So now what do we do? It is not exclusively a rights issue. But make no mistake, we are being blamed and 145 or so CEO's of large companies agree.
