The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms launched an initiative last year aimed at providing information to Second Amendment-loving Americans. The goal was to provide a comprehensive list of companies and/or CEOs who back gun control initiatives and legislation or have anti-firearm corporate policies in place.“When we started this project last year, we were actually surprised, and in some cases disappointed, at some of the businesses we added to the list," CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb said in a statement. "We discovered several brand name businesses and corporate leaders who evidently have a nefarious agenda to limit gun rights.

I agree. We should NOT allow Democrats to own guns. Make it law.

Most are no big surprise, but some just lost business- my business.
Can't they just sell their product and shut up ? Now we have to pick sides in a divided country.. Obola must be so pleased.

Most I have never heard of. Many of them cater to the college woke crowd so not really many surprises.
What they seem to forget is the purpose of a business, any business, is to make money. By taking a political stand of any kind they risk alienating people who might want to spend money there. That is bad business and the mark of a stupid owner.

Interesting...Thrive Capital is owned by Josua Kushner Brother of Jared, Trump's Son In Law.
Evenso, I shall endeavor to find services and products that do not further enrich these America-haters.

GEICO; the insurance company that initially marketed itself to service members. Terrific.

You know if 500 companies support gun control measures that should not matter one bit. The second Amendment protects our right to keep and bear arms. Period. It is not contingent upon how many companies are against it. It is our right. Democrats know the procedure for changing an Amendment and know they cannot achieve their goal in that manner so they are going to chip away at it until there is nothing there. I guarantee if democrats are successful with removing our guns, the purge will begin. Never give them up because to do so would be suicide. If you ever had any doubt about democrats willingness to do such a thing, it should be crystal clear that they are willing and ready to do whatever it takes to make us submit and that is very hard to do when we are armed.
A meme going around the internet is: The only reason the government would want to disarm us after 243 years is because they are planning on doing something to us that we would shoot them for.

I don't see any on that list that I have any intention of doing business with anyway, or not already boycotting...
So I guess none of them will miss me as a customer because of this.
Too bad.

I only spotted 3 on the list that I have used and 2 of those have already been dropped, PayPal being one. I’d love to boycott Comcast but where I live it’s the only thing available. I’ve never heard of 95% of them.

It is well worth your time to review the full list. I see that AT&T is on the list. Close your accounts with them. Also Bain Capital is on the list - once upon a time, Pierre Delecto ran Bain Capital. Remember when he was being investigated for fraud? That was quite the wealth grab he got away with. Auto Zone is on the list. And of course, google is on the list. Boycott them all if you haven't already.

He hates Trump, so he penalizes his own citizens. DeBlasio is a terrible manager, he has no business managing anything. He's just a political hack who has stupid ideas. There should be precise job descriptions for mayors and governors, written by the citizens.

It's strange I scrolled the entire list and I don't do business with any of them. Serious this is not a surprising list but none have taken any of my money while they contribute to 'gun control'. I can add others but there's no need to. Red Lobster and Camping World are two more on the ground that they don't like Trump supporters there are others on the basis that they don't like my politics of voting.

Remember how democrats have traditionally had quite a disdain for corporations? Some democrat, maybe Bubba or Zero, wanted to make it a law that employees of a corporation had to to vote, in majority, before their corporation could donate to a political candidate. That didn't fly, so now in an about face, they have weaponized corporations, probably via extortion, against us. Foxtrot Tango Sierra.

Many on this list also donated to BLM which coincidentally is one of the main reasons for the booming business in firearms..

Cut the cable cord! You don't need it. Just get a wireless router for internet and a roku (or whatever kind you like) for your tv and you will have so much more fun watching/PAYING FOR what YOU WANT TO WATCH. Incredibly cheaper, too.

If you believe in the rights granted to the law abiding citizenry by the 2nd Amendment simply don’t do business with those corporations who decided to join the political gun banners.

Stop saying you will boycott them: you are participating in cancel culture. Instead insist that their board members never ever hire armed bodyguards. Make it public. Say it again and again.

Looking at the list, I can't remember if I've ever done business with them or even heard of them. I'd say about 90% of the names I've never heard of, so it wouldn't be hard to avoid doing business with them.

That's a big list. Of course there will be no repercussions for them, as others have pointed out, the leftists already has them cowed. They probably see it as "the cost of doing business."
If our side could get its act together we'd target just two or three of the most convenient--the weakest -- of these companies and make an example of them. ("pick a target, freeze it..." ) From then on our threats will be taken seriously and computing the "cost of doing business" will include us.

Thank you for that list...I'll be mindful of their names as I shop...Burger King has been off my list since when they moved their corporate offices out of America... and subway is not one of my favorites... so... no big deal...I still don't shop at target because of their insane facilities' ruling...and I don't shop Walmart because they are run by china... except for paper goods and cleaning supplies ... once every three months... each of US can make a difference...DC does not rule my pocket...I am still free to choose... so far...

Even if you don't use them now, or would never use them in the future, there are often ways to make companies aware that their anti-2nd amendment behavior might be hurting their biz. For example, I'll be stuffing the numerous GEICO pre-paid postage envelopes that come to my address with other junk mail (sans any information that would identify me), along with a colorful note telling them why I will never be a GEICO customer.

The hypocrisy is astounding, isn't it? Not one of these companies would dare to hang out a sign in front of their buildings saying that there were absolutely "NO GUNS ARE INSIDE THIS BUILDING". In fact, their security teams carry weapons, many use armed personal body guards when traveling, etc. If they call 911, they expect police immediately .... carrying guns!
Disney and HBO make movies glorifying guns and armed violence and AMC Theaters show movies that do the same ... but you shouldn't be allowed to protect YOUR home and family the way they protect theirs! Just stunning.

What is the surprise.. you can find more than that who would vote to cancel Mother’s Day, Christmas, definitely Father’s day..
These are the folks that backed into their position, built on others base, never created a lasting job
Trump for all his warts created thousands upon thousands of jobs from the lowest to the highest, after projects were completed other jobs were and are created... who in How in Corporate American can offer this legacy
And if he was so bad why did Obama award Trump etc the Iconic Post Office!
Get over it the guy never changed since he did the Rona Barret interview in his 30’s
Cancel is a shameless why if facing history..
who are these low life’s?
Cancel... shame on us...
Or really them!
We are so shallow..

The list of companies that I will buy products from or use services from is getting smaller and same every day. Ditched CocaCola two days ago, and now because of this, I've had to add another 26 companies.
And how many of you are wiling to boycott Uber and Lyft?

I proudly boycott businesses that take a political position opposed to my constitutional rights. I will download this list and save it so I can refer to it periodically as a refresher. Will also run a printout to keep in my car so as to avoid these businesses when I travel. They all have made it clear that they do not value us as customers, so we need to take a stand.
