Here is a rather comprehensive list of companies, organizations and people that are anti gun:

Great list, thanks for posting it, but they mention Starbucks as being an antigun company. AFAIK, the only antigun thing they ever expressly did was some local manager in Wash, DC, gave some money in Starbuck's name to HCI after Columbine, but the company distanced itself from him, when there were protests, and forbade this kind of stuff done in their name. On their webpage, [url]www.starbucks.com[/url], there is no mention of guns anywhere. (A contribution was made to some anti-violence group in Melrose, MA, though....)

Also from their [url= http://www.starbucks.com/aboutus/criteria.asp]grants webpage[/url]:

The Starbucks Foundation funds may not be used for the following:  One time fundraising events or the purchase of tables at events
Event sponsorships
Production of marketing materials (T-shirts, posters, flyers) that promote Starbucks
Production of materials (books, software) to sell in Starbucks stores
Capital expenditures (building or land acquisitions, equipment, and furniture)
Grants to individuals
Fellowships/scholarships
[red]The promotion of religious or political causes[/red]

How does Michael Gross get off being on the board of directors of HCI while playing a survivalist/gun nut on the Tremors movies and TV show?

Bastard.

A certain NBA star almost got his ass beat by my crew for smacking his girl around in front of a teller machine late one night. But UNC Athletics owns this town so the cops were more likely to arrest my boys then him. Yes, they let it go. Yes they had it on camera. Of course he hates guns. Some chick might blow his nuts off someday.

We attempted to get GEICO to retract its statement, or at least offer another viewpoint, but to no avail. Thus, it was added to our list.

What's odd about it?

If I have a choice where to spend my money, do I pick Company A that isn't antigun or Company B that is? If I don't know which company is and which isn't anti gun how can I make an informed decision?
