Dear Anti Gunners: Not the best strategy right now.
just caught this in Bearing Arms:
Anti-gun jihadists like to try and apply pressure to any business that doesn’t completely and totally toe the line. They figure out long ago that they’ll never completely win in this country. They’ll never be able to ban guns. Some states, at a minimum, will resist that to the end. Hell, the Heller decision alone makes their dreams impossible, which is why they hate it so vehemently.
However, they figure that by applying pressure to businesses to conform to their policies, they can create a nation where it’s virtually impossible to bear arms to any real degree, thus amounting to the same thing.
Whom is applying pressure to whom? Newtown Action Alliance to Subway.
NEWTON, CT—Anti-gun violence advocates penned an open letter Monday to Subway’s CEO John Chidsey, urging him to do more to keep customers safe from the threat of gun violence. The request comes after nearly a dozen mostly-armed demonstrators protesting North Carolina’s stay-at-home order purchased sandwiches at a Subway in Raleigh on May 9.
Dear Opposition: In case you have not noticed, business has been hurting bad because of the Pandemic. Asking such business, including a franchise like Subway to reject income is a stupidity of at least two orders of magnitude. I believe we may end up with the standard press release form the CEO saying that Subway understand the concerns of the group, but that they expect the individual franchisees to follow the law of the particular location where they reside or words to that effect.
Most restaurants are opening with health restrictions forcing them to be occupied in very small numbers. It is still unclear if they will be able to survive such restrictions or for how long. With a reduced income, the least thing they want to do is cut any more of that meager income just to get their head patted by disconnected political idiots.
