140 businesses have jumped on the "we have to do something about gun violence". Apparently, they do not care what anyone else thinks. This is a very scary time for our country!

How about a nationwide gun owners strike to let these big businesses know what we think? Nearly 50% of this country owns guns and I have to think many think like we do. If half the country stayed home from work for a few days, maybe they would figure it out?

I think people are sheep rather than serfs......They get caught up in fads and ideals and do whats popular rather than thinking for themselves. Any intelligent person knows that outlawing guns isnt going to take guns away from criminals yet its still happening.

In a free market society, you vote everyday.
Every time you open your wallet, you're expressing your views, and casting your vote.
If we're really tired, as a society, of any business telling us what to do or how to think, we just have to stop putting "ballots" into their "ballot boxes". Exactly. I boycotted Wal-Mart years ago. Dicks and Nike don't get my business either. Levi's is out to.
No Jab.

I don't necessarily agree with a strike as that would affect folks that are doing the right thing. I think it would be better to distribute a comprehensive list of the ones that are running scared and let folks make their decisions on who to do business with based on facts and who is making these decisions especially the ones that are trying to avoid being exposed. Just my thoughts.

We are slaves. Our currency is debt right from the get go. Borrowed from the Fed and given to us only to pay back plus interest.

Property taxes sure make us appear to be serfs. No one ever owns there home free and clear.

I think past a certain age, maybe 60 or 65, property taxes should be waived. I hate seeing old people, especially widows lose their homes to property taxes. Keith

The big city area's where they get the bulk of their income is ruled by the libturd (sic) snowflakes that started this crap. Both the actual crime and demanding solutions.

Remember Bowe Bergdahl, the traitor.
Beware! Jill Pudlewski, Ron Oates and Keven Begesse are liars and thiefs!

Keithc, I agree a 100 percent! Property and school taxes should stop after age 65 or 30 years of payment on a home or farm! Also if the gun owners / working man went on strike for one day it would show Washington where the power comes from! I went to a private high school, so why did my parents have to pay taxes for public school?
