Groupon is apparently an anti-gun business...

I had received the same response. I stopped reading my Groupon e-mails, told them I would not buy anything until their policy changed, but did not unsubscribe from the service.

This morning I found an e-mail advertising a Firearm Simulator Session. Perhaps they have resumed firearms related sales.

Anyone want to take the time to send a follow up?

Me too, TFred. I've been meaning to go by there to get my Ruger 10/22 fixed anyway. Have you ever tried out that simulator, is it any good?

They resumed gun related ads about 2 months ago.

So the debate is do you want to reward Groupon for changing their policy thus possibly encouraging other companies to do the same or. ..... punish them for making the policy in the first place and send a message to other companies that you don't mess with the 2nd.

If this is true why the cookie cutter answers to members that wrote to the company?

If you look at the dates on the replies about the cookie cutter responses in this thread they go back to January. The change was made in June.

Nah

It's hardly resurrected. It's a zombie at most, and most of the people who hang out on these forums are well equipped to deal with those. :D
