Let's keep this in perspective.
The group that is doing this is National Gun Victim's Action Council (NGVAC). They are less than a year old and have VERY few members. As pointed out by Mark, host of Armed American Radio Network on this weekend's show, the NGVAC has only 200 Facebook friends and many of those are progun people who "Liked" the page just to bash on NGVAC. (see
https://www.facebook.com/GunVictimsAction )
Mark compared NGVAC to the Brady group which has about 2 dozen employees and a small office with the NRA which has hundreds of employees, a multistory office complex and half a billion dollars in it's warchest.
Mark correctly pointed out that while NGVAC only has 200 FB members, his show, Armed American Radio Network, has over 10K fans of it's Facebook page (see

Tom Grisham has >5K friends on his Facebook page for Gun Talk radio.
BayouShooter has >1500 FB friends.
Heck, even little ole La Open Carry Awareness League (LOCAL) has 222 friends as of today (see

Am I saying that this new group isn't a threat? No. Like the Brady group they are small but they put out a press release and the left leaning main stream media jumped on it and built it up.
I'm saying that this group is the new kid on the block and they want to make a big splash to get their wheels rolling, attract as much attention as possible and hopefully fill their pockets with donations from the few anti-gun types out there who may be willing to toss them some breadcrumbs.
Don't expect to see any demonstrators outside of your local Starbucks. They simply don't have the numbers.
Am I saying don't go to Starbucks on Feb 14 with a handfull of 2 dollar bills you picked up from your bank on the way there? No.
Go in, spend your $2 bills and let them know that you are an honest gun owner and you thank them for remaining neutral in this fight. Put a $2 bill in the tip jar with a LOCAL (or other gun rights group) business card paperclipped to it to remind them where it came from. Send a polite email to Starbucks corporate offices telling them that you bought something from the local resturant to support their neutrality regarding guns in their stores.
Just don't get too caught up in the hype and give NGVAC more credit than it's due.
Just my 2 cents.
