We Just Can’t Have Nice Things

Last year, Starbucks asked customers to stop carrying guns in their locations because people walked in with rifles slung over their shoulders. Last week, Jack in the Box asked customers to stop carrying guns in their locations because people walked in with rifles slung over their shoulders. This week, Chipotle asked customers to stop carrying guns in their locations because people walked in with rifles slung over their shoulders.

Are we seeing a pattern here, folks? Are we really that obtuse? This isn’t civil activism; this is a malicious sort of attention whoring that hurts the very cause these dinks claim to support.

And they have the audacity to pretend they don’t even get it. This isn’t happening because of some culture war. It’s happening because people can’t show simple discretion and manners. They get a picture to show to their friends on social media, and the anti-gun groups get to chalk up a very public victory.

Frankly, if I saw this going on in a restaurant, I wouldn’t eat there either.

Carrying for the cause. Not.

This needs to stop. The only “awareness” it raises is that gun owners are disruptive, selfish nut jobs. We need to single these people out, and we need to ostracize them.
