The Starbucks coffee facebook page is under serious attack from the group "Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America" for allowing open carry in the 28 states where it is legal. There has always been a lot of stupid comment from that group and I am getting sick of it. Give them hell whether or not you like Starbucks coffee

Didnt starbucks refuse to send our troops their brand of coffee overseas because they didn't support the war?

No, that was Internet bullshittery. Snopes it.

Can't stand the coffee, but support their business practices (exception: burning their cofee). In.

Who gives a fuck. Really. I'm so tired of this fad of "boycott this, boycott that". I go to starbucks for coffee, not politics. I go to Buffalo Wild Wings for wings, not their stance on CCW. I go to the movie theatre for entertainment, not the leading actors political beliefs.

It's fucking stupid, and people need to grow the fuck up.

Social media is the front we need to be pushing. It's actually entertaining throwing facts at them and they just clam up.

I support Starbucks a few times a week.

Total bullshit. They were even using stores as drop off points for people who wanted to buy a bag and have it sent over.

There's one of those Starbucks (but not really Starbucks -- like the UPS Store is to UPS) on many mil bases.

Yes, I went to the NCO club and got my daily cup on the reg. Just as expensive as Starbucks off base, but it's there and convenient.

I drank a ton of Starbucks over there; they have no such policy. Support 'em!

what's a good statement?

"I appreciate your support of our troops and your support of the legal carrying of firearms."?

So I've been trolling the shit out of those bitches. 4 of them have deleted their threads because I backed them into a corner on whether or not they would want me to defend their children from violence with a firearm or if it was more noble for their children to die in the absence of a firearms use by a private citizen.

It's been fun.

Social media is the future. Its not a phone call or snail mail that will save our rights. Only social media and being physically there to show your opinion is the only way nowdays.

Everyone that went there on open carry day really needs to post up their pics of guns and coffee, as I did.

That attitude is why we are in the predicament we are in for firearm owners.

I dont have a facebook either, but I wonder if the ARFCOM FB page can put a nice comment in for the rest of us.

It's like they seem amazed at the opposition when confronted. I guess they are so used to hiding on their page that blocks any pro-gun comment…..

Pretty much this. Their business model has been ridiculously successful.

Starbucks is really a good example of "I just want to sell coffee" and let people do what the fuck they want.
Thus, I give Starbucks my money.

Starbucks has a policy of "Whatever the local laws are" regarding guns. I like that.

Actually, they really don't. Everything they have is pretty mundane and bland. Dont you worry though. My co-worker drinks enough to cover both.

Starbucks is like Dunkin Donuts. The worst franchise somehow came out on top despite the fact they had the worst product. For DD its because they sold more coffee than anyone on the planet. Starbucks simply marketed themselves as more cool and that's why it costs 4 times what it should.

When things like this come up I want to help. Call me weird, but I just have a weird boycott with Facebook, I hate what it is doing to today's society. I understand social media is our future, but I don't like it one bit.

Yeah, this is the only thing I use it for. I dont have any friends or pictures. Its a total dummy account. I also have private internet access.
