Didn't mean to come off starkly.

why will the starbucks’ boycott be successful?the primary reason is that we have the capacity to seriously hurt starbucks financially. Facts: In 2009, starbucks’ financials showed its profit before tax, from all activities, was $562 million. I am one individual and have stopped spending the $8 per week ($400 per year) i was spending at starbucks.if 10% of the 14 million gun victims, gun assault survivors and their supporters reduce their spending by $8 per week—$400 per year—starbucks’ revenue loss will be $560 million (1,400,000 people not spending $400 per year)… and this does not include any of the 100 million people that polls consistently show want sane gun laws. (note spending can be reduced by not going to starbucks stores and/or not buying starbucks products sold in supermarkets and other retail outlets—such as their via instant coffee or ice creams.)
ngac’s boycott will cause starbucks’ stock price to fall significantly, credit lines will be affected and mass selling of starbucks stock by institutions, mutual funds and other shareholders will occur; their stock price will collapse. Our potential impact is so significant starbucks would be pressured by stock analysts, institutions, mutual funds and other shareholders, as well as by the ceos of license partners, like barnes & noble, to end the boycott before it begins.however, if starbucks needs to find out whether gun victims, gun assault survivors, their families—people permanently devastated, longing for empowerment and repulsed at starbucks promoting the pro-gun agenda—will participate and stay the course, they are welcome to find out. Our goal is for starbucks to change their gun policy and become a passionate advocate for sane gun laws. By doing so, starbucks will generate enormous good will from millions of people who want sane gun laws. This means new customers and new sales.

Choosing to be a victim is their idea of empowerment? Uhhh huhhhh :uhoh:
Geese, with that approach I'm surprised we even have gun rights left. Give me an address and I'll send you a gift certificate for a cup.:banghead:
. Even the criminals around here don't do this!
regardless of real or fake, i will cover Starbucks on "less than three" day
This is unfortunate haha

We had an OC dinner in Culpeper a couple weeks ago. First one in this general area between central and northern Virginia. Well attended. User set it up, and I expect he will do another one sometime.Does anyone in the Charlottesville, Fredericksburg, Culpeper area want to meet up? I can travel to any of those three places. And I just got a new serpa level II retention holster that needs to find a day out.
Are you saying that there is no Starbucks anywhere on the Eastern Shore of Virginia?? Wow, too bad they don't franchise... I wonder why they haven't gone there yet.I would but the nearest Starbucks is across the Bay Bridge Tunnel or in the Peoples Republic of Mary's land.

Well, I plan on going. I think it is pretty stupid that these anti-gun nuts think that open-carry and conceal-carry cause more gun violence. If our country ever gets to be the same way as England, I might just go out back and shoot myself -oh wait, I won't have a gun, darn it.
When I was in 11th grade, I did a research paper on why we should have guns, found out that England's crime rate is actually higher due to the fact that the law abiding citizens don't have guns but the criminals do. It is that plain and simple.
