The explanation from
Days of our trailers. The Brady Campaign won't stop with the bashing of Starbuck's, and he makes case for why.
That’s when the light bulb went off.
Love ‘em or hate ‘em, Starbucks is somewhat of an American icon. They are symbolic. Picking a fight with them guaranteed news coverage. Every major media outlet covered the story. There’s youtube videos in abundance.
Starbucks has already said REPEATEDLY that they will defer to local and state law concerning the lawful open carry of firearms yet the Brady Campaign still won’t let up.
I believe that this is a simple attempt to keep their name in the news when everyone and their dog is ignoring them.
The Brady Campaign doesn’t fear sounding silly, they’ve made a lifestyle out of that.
They fear becoming irrelevant.
Some fears are unjustified, this one is not.
I think he is right. The Heller verdict has put a serious road block in the way for anti-gunners; as it should be.
