This article will look at some companies who support gun control. Dick's Sporting Goods L.L.C. Bean, Kroger Walmart and a host of other large corporations are signatories. Despite their differing views, the signatories seem to share one thing: they oppose gun violence. Even though they may have different reasons, they all support gun violence.
Dick's Sporting Goods
In April, the CEO of Dick's Sporting Goods hired a lobbying firm to advocate for gun control. Dick's Arm spent zero to five thousands dollars to lobby on Capitol Hill. After the midterm elections, Dick's retreated from Capitol Hill. Business Insider was told by a Dick's spokesperson that the CEO did not feel any progress during his meetings to lawmakers.
Walmart
Despite the fact that it has been a major seller of handguns and ammunition for years, Walmart is now taking steps toward gun control. The company has announced that it will no longer sell handguns or certain types of ammunition in response to the Florida school shooting. Additionally, it will no longer allow shoppers to carry openly carried guns in stores. This move follows similar ones by WalMart and Target.
L.L. Bean
L.L. Bean supports gun control. It is a major sponsor of Sportsman's Alliance of Maine. A non-profit organization which promotes hunting outdoor activities and wildlife conservation, Bean is also a sponsor. It also funds youth programs. The non-profit organization made a notable decision to support gun regulation. It is among the few businesses to support this initiative. However, it has been met with backlash. It didn't criticize Walmart or Kroger for raising gun ownership age.
Kroger
There are many arguments for and against allowing open carry of guns in retail stores. Many businesses allow open carry of handguns, while some retailers do not. McDonald's and Starbucks have both banned open carry. But the most persuasive argument is that it is in everyone's best interest to stop such tragedies from occurring. Kroger is not an exception. It is open to all local firearms laws.
REI
While it seems incongruous to support gun control while purchasing REI products, it is important to remember that they are not affiliated with the gun industry. Despite their support for gun control the company encourages racial animus and anti-government feeling. Fear mongering is also promoted by the company. You can consider skipping REI products if your safety and that of your family is important to you. It is unlikely this boycott will lead to gun violence.
YWCA U.S.A.
The YWCA started as a non-profit organization that focuses primarily on the needs women and children. Grace Dodge, the first president of YWCA, was a successful, independent woman who actively supported the organization and other New York charities. In 1907, the YWCA grew to include 186,000 women and was distributed across 608 YWCAs. In 1911, six well-off members funded the YWCA's headquarters building.
