CEOs of 145 of America's biggest companies send letter urging gun legislation

[Ark]

The fact that the corporate class wants you disarmed is the only evidence you should need to convince you to arm up and oppose gun control.

The final check on corporate power is one pissed off dude with a bolt gun and a scope. They cannot impose their agenda of control on the people of this country and still sleep soundly as long as they know said people are still armed.

Tell those CEOs they need to give up 99% of their profit to provide security.

Watch their tune change.

The only company that is used significantly in my world is Okta. Our contract is annual, I am the deciding factor and signer. I will be looking for a replacement before February 2020.

I always wonder how many of these guys pop off like this to impress some younger woman they are after.

I was going to say that your comment was chauvinistic being that there are many female CEOs today, but then I looked at the list and you are right about 90% of those signatures are male CEO's.

 

[Vigilant]

Yeah Eventbright!

I have bought weapons classes though them !

They facilitated the purchase, probably at the time, unknowingly, I’ll bet they don’t do that again? I saw Dicks, Reddit, Twitter, etc. all of which I don’t use. There are probably some on the list I do, Square!? Nope, they fired me for selling ammo, but most of the companies represented, have made no qualms about their communistic leanings in the past, so why should now be different? The ONE company that I used a lot, Ecolab, is but a minor fraction of its once large self. So if you or freedom loving friends you know that own restaurants, still use Ecosham, let them know there are people and companies that still enjoy freedom.

I OC proudly while shopping at Amazon. No issues.

Disclaimer: I wish it to be known that I am in no way associated with the MongoDB on this list.

I am MongoPDB, for Poor Dumb Ba$tard...

The fact that the letter brings up Chicago, and its mess of gangland shootings, makes me mad enough to scream - and if I did that, I'd have the rest of this nice bourbon up my nose and all over my shirt. The good people of America have nothing to do with this mess, and we're not going lose our God given rights pretending that it will solve their problems!

Let me tell you a story. I love staying in Airbnbs, and since their s**t-for-brains CEO is on the list, it's a relevant story. I've stayed in them domestically and abroad. Once, I crashed at an Airbnb owned by a leftist, single, female attorney. Gorgeous woman, believe me. I didn't want to bring up the fact that I had a handgun with me, but not ten minutes into our initial conversation, she said, "So, I take it you have a gun with you." I affirmed, being a man who won't lie to a person in her own home. I figured she'd tell me to remove it. Instead, she, being worried I'd left it in the car, said, "...just make sure you bring it in." Even being an admitted feminist, she later told me that she felt safer with me in the house. We ended up spending quite a bit of time together. Hopefully, the Airbnb CEO understands that he has gun owning customers, and those customers carry into his hosts' homes.

And what percent of them as fortune 500/1000 CEOs have their own private security, live in gated communities, etc? Probably most.

F*** them and their bodyguards. Disarm yourselves, then we can talk.

What's wrong with their bodyguards? They're just doing their job, and probably getting well paid for it. People often don't have the luxury to quit their jobs simply because they disagree with the political stances of their bosses.

 

[Usmccookie]

I own a business, can we do something similar? I'll even give myself a fancy title...

I'd like to see JJ Abrams and his company Bad Robot staunchly have a "no guns policy" for all of their productions henceforth. It would last about two years until the company went under.
