CCRKBA UPDATES ‘DON’T FEED THEM’ ANTI-GUN BUSINESS LIST, ADDS GUCCI

BELLEVUE, WA – The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms today announced it is updating its list of businesses and CEOs who push for increased gun control and prohibition, adding Gucci to the roster.

According to CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb, “We were reminded that Gucci donated $500,000 to the anti-gun March for Our Lives group started three years ago, and quickly was co-opted by the gun prohibition lobby.”

CCRKBA’s “Don’t Feed the Gun Prohibitionists” project has developed a dynamic list of businesses and CEOs who have been pushing for new legislation designed to impair the rights of law-abiding firearms owners. The current roster lists some 200 businesses and their CEOs.

“When we started this project last year,” Gottlieb recalled, “we were actually surprised, and in some cases disappointed, at some of the businesses we added to the list. We discovered several brand name businesses and corporate leaders who evidently have a nefarious agenda to limit gun rights. Their current and potential patrons should have the knowledge of what their hard earned dollars are actually funding.”

Gottlieb said a free market dictates the right of consumers to know about the products they purchase, and that includes knowing whether a business they support may be working in the shadows to erode their constitutional rights.

“We encourage people buy products from companies they can count on to not support efforts aimed at curtailing constitutional rights,” he explained. “By providing this information, we hope gun owning consumers are making reasonable decisions about which businesses to patronize. This might convince some businesses to re-think their core values.”

“We’re not calling for a boycott of these companies,” Gottlieb said. “Businesses and the people who own them can support whatever kind of philosophy they want, and gun owning consumers can likewise not spend any money with those firms. Let the marketplace decide. Over 100 million American gun owners represent a sizeable consumer bloc, and they will decide where they spend their money.”

We’re not calling for a boycott of these companies,” Gottlieb said. “Businesses and the people who own them can support whatever kind of philosophy they want, and gun owning consumers can likewise not spend any money with those firms. Let the marketplace decide. Over 100 million American gun owners represent a sizeable consumer bloc, and they will decide where they spend their money.”

About 40% of Americans say they or someone in their household owns a gun, and 22% of individuals (about 72 million people) report owning a gun, according to surveys from Pew and Harvard and Northeastern. This figure has declined over time, down from 51% of gun-owning households in 1978.

Still a big number although the number who would actually boycott a company or product is somewhat harder to pin down

It is appreciated that CCRKBA is updating their list since knowing the current donation strategy of a business is very important. Remember that many organizations that receive donations may not start out as Anti or be recognized as Anti (AARP comes to mind), since the charity may conceal their purpose or they may become co-opted by the larger Anti influence over time. Supporting organizations may change their giving based on it becoming clearer the politics or personalities of these organizations, just as we do as we learn more about who we donate to or support. Knowing who continues to donate to groups or provide other support after their true purpose is revealed helps us decide where we want our money to go as well. Thanks CCRKBA for maintaining a list to help us make those decisions.

That list seems, small. Surely there are more companies that deserve to be on that list, am I not wrong?

CCRKBA is a very careful organization intent on being accurate. Their criteria will be specific to those companies and organizations actively working to advance the Anti 2A agenda as opposed to a local company that prohibits carry.
