If government won’t do it, corporations are stepping up with some morals. It is a business’s right.
What’s happening now is corporations are deciding whether groups of citizens are moral or not.

Except when it isn't.
I mean, the percentage of firearms and ammunition that are bought at big-box retailers is tiny compared to online and gun-stores... I suspect its more of PR stunt than anything.
However, it is hard for me to respect a company that participates in PR stunts like this. Personal opinion.
Lohman said:My biggest problem with major corporations is hiding behind some fiduciary duty to shareholders to morally "obligate" the use of questionable means of operation and then taking a "moral" stand such as the above. Either you are about the bottom line as a primary concern or you are not. It is possible that this is financially motivated in an effort to shield them from some financial liability.
Or it could simply be that a) they are getting bad PR advice, or b) they are getting good PR advice and I am wrong about enemies having longer memories than the general and uninterested public.
Lohman said:Your forgetting a third possible option. That the person controlling the policy is pursuing self interests rather than those of the company. When you own the company that is fine because the two are intertwined. When a company is publicly traded this becomes a dilemma.

Bingo.I suspect its more of PR stunt than anything
Yep all the hoop-la about this is all coming the "BIG BOX STORES". The mom and pop shops will hopefully be able to gain from the big corporations decisions.It seems corporations have more power to enact change than the government does in today's world.
