Per Staples: Firearms, Illegal Drugs, Alcohol, Tobacco. All the same and not welcome.

STAPLES DISQUALIFIES GUN STORES,LUMPS
FIREARMS TOGETHER WITH ILLEGAL DRUGS


Staples is currently conducting a "PUSH It Forward
Contest," which awards a $50,000 marketing
campaign to the small business that wins it.

However, as Maple Creek Gunsmithing in Fremont, Neb. learned-
-small businesses that sell guns are not allowed to take part in the
contest.

As Todd Starnes posted (http://radio.foxnews.com/toddstarnes...r-contest.html) on May 30, after entering Staples' contest, Maple Creek Gunsmithing received the following email:

We're sorry, but your small business entry into the Staples PUSH It Forward Contest
has been rejected for the following reason(s): Entry contains content that promotes
alcohol, illegal drugs, tobacco, firearms/weapons (or the use of the foregoing);
promotes any activities that may appear unsafe or dangerous; promotes any
particular political agenda or message; is obscene or offensive; or endorses any form
of hate or hate group.

Wow. If your business promotes illegal drugs or firearms, Staples doesn't want you to
enter their contest.

Does Staples know firearms and illegal drugs are fundamentally different? Firearms are
part of America's heritage and are protected by the Second Amendment while illegal drugs
are just that--illegal. Illegal drugs are indicative of deviant behavior while firearms are
indicative of the freedom George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and James
Madison risked their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to secure (see Declaration

Or think about it this way--whether they realize it or not, Staples is literally barring
businesses that are framed around one of the most famous amendments in the Bill of
Rights.
What's next? Will Staples begin rejecting contest entries of businesses that exercise free
speech (First Amendment) or which stand up for private property (Third and Fourth
Amendments)?

Throughout the centuries Americans in uniform have sacrificed their lives in military
service to defend the Second Amendment, yet Staples apparently can't see the difference
between having a Glock model 19 for self defense and having a meth lab in one's basement
for illegal activity. Shame on Staples.

Weird...their message seems to promote a certain political agenda...guess they would not be eligible for their own contest.

What's next? If you don't show via your tax returns that you donated to leftists causes you won't be allowed to shop there? I say screw'em. There are better places to get the stuff they sell at much lower prices.

I laughed at that. I didn't want to, but I did.
