Please remeber this holiday season how Toy-R-Us is against the NRA's resturant in NY. Please dont shop there and let others know too!

Thanks.
 
For those that may have forgotten the original anti-gun outcry by Toys-R-Us here is the link to the article that appeared in the NYPost - http://www.nypostonline.com/business/6190.htm

For more information, visit ProGuns Bans/Boycotts and read an arictle by Angel Shamaya, Director, KeepAndBearArms.com in response to Toys-R-Us - http://www.usa2076.com/proguns/bans.htm

It's still not to late to contact Toys-R-Us and tell them how you feel - http://www256.toysrus.com/handler.cfm?sn=info_pg_contact_us

I just emailed them (feel free to copy & send it too):
Dear Toys-R-Us,

This email is about the massive reduction of your bottom line. By the time you get this message, no less than 20,000 gun owners have already read every word and told ten of their friends.

I have been shopping at Toys-R-Us as my EXCLUSIVE source for toys for what seems like a lifetime. But I cannot and will not give you another dime of my money, and neither will millions of other lawful, peaceable Americans.

I took my LAST walk through the Toys-R-Us aisles today -- I was met with an entryway FILLED with guns. Water-blasting H20 rifles, projectile-throwing pellet launchers, noise-making blam-blammers -- guns to train your customers' children TO POINT AND SHOOT. Guns that pay your wages and dividends. Guns you market to kids.

I could point to your Rosie-like hypocrisy with that one, of course, but the real AMMO was further back in the store, where I scored some really insightful displays of your Program-Children-to-Be-Violent "Games".

Interesting business you're in. I knew the current trend to program children with violence was quite a lucrative endeavor, but you're quite the leader in this business! You sell HUNDREDS of these "games" to children who, according to one of your employees "start as young as 4 years old." (Your employees were very helpful in directing me to the most violent games you market to children; your managers have trained them to be very polite and helpful. It's a shame you'll be laying some of them off before closing some of your stores altogether.)

I will not shop at another of your stores -- ever. I will not allow my child to receive any gift purchased from your stores either.

Sincerely,
J.P. Huber

OK, but ... what the heck is going on with the restaurant? Did the NRA fold their tent on this deal, or is it still alive?

Thanks. Regards from AZ
 
...and for those of you in a tizzy about what to get the kids that ain't at Toys R Us --

BOOKS!
BOOKS!
BOOKS!

Then sit down and read them with your kid. Studies show that the amount of reading aloud you do with your child when they're tiny is one of the biggest factors in future academic acheivement.

OT Public service announcement from the English teacher...
 
I emailed a "my nephews, neices, and future children will not be receiving any of your toys until you reverse your decision" letter. Christmas is coming, lets keep them from getting fat. In this market, every bit counts.
