    UPI Report Links Kmart Money Woes To Pro-Gun Boycott

    The UPI report suggested that a boycott of the department store chain by
    "Pro-Second Amendment activists . . . because of the vocal anti-gun
    activity of Kmart spokesman (sic) Rosie O'Donnell" had an impact on
    Kmart's collapse.

    UPI failed to also mention Kmart's equally foolish moves in pulling
    handguns and ammunition off the shelves, which was also seen by
    gunowners as a bigoted slap in the face toward firearm civil rights and
    the hunting tradition. Gun Week heard from countless gunowners and
    hunters who, in the wake of the announced firearms and ammo sales policy
    changes, simply said they would shop
    elsewhere.

    The bigger impact, of course, apparently was in reaction to O'Donnell's
    appearance as a Kmart spokeswoman. After O'Donnell used her afternoon
    television program to attack actor Tom Selleck for appearing in an "I'm
    the NRA" advertisement, Kmart was flooded with angry calls and mail, and
    gunowners mounted a boycott.

    H made many strategic errors, the oddest one in my opinion being its store locations. Home Depot and Lowes followed the spread of the population to farther flung developments, H never figured that out.
    I was one of many. Even though it was closer to the house, I never shopped at Hechinger's again.

    Who said anything about Home Depot selling guns or its store policy concerning weapons in the store?

    Not peculiar at all. I was informed of the Hechinger's stand on gun issues by my friends. The NRA compiled a list of anti-gun stores/associations/corporations, etc. Many of us would not buy from those on the list.

    Hypocrisy- liberal be thy name. How many of those celebrities calling for gun control are protected by unarmed bodyguards? Only the Untermensch should have to walk the streets unarmed in their assinine minds.

    Or how many of them are in movies/shows where gun violence is prevalent.

    Default Ex-Burglars say Newspaper's Gun Map would've made the job easier, safer

    " Reformed crooks say the New York newspaper that published a map of names and addresses of gun owners did a great service – to their old cronies in the burglary trade.

    "The information published online by the Journal-News, a daily paper serving the New York suburbs of Westchester, Rockland and Putnam counties, could be highly useful to thieves in two ways, former burglars told FoxNews.com. Crooks looking to avoid getting shot now know which targets are soft and those who need weapons know where they can steal them."

    -etc.

    Default Inmates using newspaper's gun owner map to threaten guards, sheriff says

    "Law enforcement officials from a New York region where a local paper published a map identifying gun owners say prisoners are using the information to intimidate guards.

    Rockland County Sheriff Louis Falco, who spoke at a news conference flanked by other county officials, said the Journal News' decision to post an online map of names and addresses of handgun owners Dec. 23 has put law enforcement officers in danger.

    "They have inmates coming up to them and telling them exactly where they live. That's not acceptable to me," Falco said, according to Newsday."

    -etc.
