McDonald's has donated 500 million dollars to anti gun groups. Just remember that next time you think about eating there.

Will never eat there again.

If confirmed, I'll never eat at that shithole again.

Fortunately, I'm a White Castle guy.

So that's $500 Million in 15 years, which is $33 million/year.

I guess I'd like to see some substantiation. I'm not saying it isn't true, and I'm not picking a fight. I just spent a couple minutes googling it and all I can find is other people saying the same thing, but without any sourcing.

That. I'd eat breakfast there in a pinch, but that's it.

Half a billion over 15 years?

I'm gonna call bullshit on that without a cite. If there is a cite, I'm guessing that it's a VERY loose definition of "anti-gun group". If you track the funding of the VPC, Bradies, and MIAG (Probably the only three meaningful anti-gun players) That kind of money isn't going to them.

Remember Wal-Mart stopped selling handguns when they got that EBAY Bitch CEO as their new CEO about 5 years ago? They refused to sell anything more bad-ass than a mini-14 & were also claiming they were going to phase out all firearms within 5 years due to her anti-gun stance...

They must have fired the bitch, I was down @ our local Wally World the other day & they had two different Bushmaster models; price wasn't bad; either.
$830 for a Bushy M-4.

The only source for this claim is some blog.

The only verified info I can find online is the Ronald McDonald house charities which has raised over $370m in 20 years (via collection boxes and the McHappy day) and helps hundreds of thousands of children.

The article is so full of holes you can read a book through it. Some of the "facts" claimed here are preposterous. MCD is more worried about the bottom line than guns.

Uh. Yeah. You'd think we would have heard about this via avenues other than a cruddy blog since September, of 2009.

Old, false, news is fun!

I just read an article,in this like blog,and it said Colt Firearms uses dead baby brains to MP test their barrels.

Supposedly,they get the dead babies imported from Indiana..That's what the blog said.

Hey I just read on some random blog that every company you've ever done business with just donated 100 trillion dollars to the Brady campaign, better boycott them too.

Yep.

The brady campaign is the largest anti-gun organization. Their total income from donations is about $4m a year, I think $500 over 15 years would be noticed even if spread across every vaguely anti-gun group in existence..

No way would any company donate $500 million to any non-profit, even over a 15 year period.

Depending on what you write, you might find your libelous article makes you guily of defamation of character. Like some of the other articles linked in GD this morning, I see no reputable sources cited. Not gonna repost stuff that Alex Jones is the only one writing about, for this very reason.

They were recently pressured by the group "Color for Change", Van Jones little organization, to bail ALEC, and now we're hearing they're doing this crap?? I don't eat at that shit hole, so I'm not too worried, but I'm troubled at how they caved in to pressure from a group run by a self described commie, convicted felon!
