This is a list National organizations and Companies that have taken an anti-gun stance either through statements or actions.
The list is not complete by any means and may be a bit dated. Still worth sharing though.
Some notable misses are Dick’s Sporting goods, Bank of America and other more recent occurrences.
ANTI-GUN NATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS
The following organizations have lent monetary, grassroots or some other type of direct support to anti-gun organizations. In many instances, these organizations lent their name in support of specific campaigns to pass anti-gun legislation such as the March 1995 HCI “Campaign to Protect Sane Gun Laws.” Many of these organizations were listed as “Campaign Partners,” for having pledged to fight any efforts to repeal the Brady Act and the Clinton “assault weapons” ban. All have officially endorsed anti-gun positions.

The people against the right forget!!!!
The guns made us free!!! Without them,
We would still live under a monarchy.
Look at the rights the British have only the criminals have guns.
So let all the people agents our 2nd amendment
Right go live elsewhere!!! Se how they like being oppressed.
The Randall Ketchum letter
towards the last—“agents” should be “against”
p.s. I’m WIth You
Well rest easy because my guns will NEVER help to protect any of them
My Green Backs won’t either ; to bad these Company’s & Organizations forget what and who won the War ,with Guns of all types or…………….. they would all be Fluent in German & Japanese..
Why waste our taxes to protect the “oathbreakers” (notice I didn’t say just “liberals”, as both sides want to get re-elected and gain or keep control of Congress)? They will promise you anything so they can keep on ripping off the taxpayers. On the campaign trail, if they are not “kissing” babies, they are stealing their lollipops. There are times I think that we should replace our present form of government with a government that is required by law to listen only to their Constituents, not lobbyists, or the “good old boy network”.
Notice we have had at least one mass shooting per month? That is by design, not by chance. This is to keep these gun grabbers on the news and brainwash us all into falsely surrendering our rights for an unknown “safety”. The shootings are planned, and the victims and their families suffer horribly for the agendas of the gun grabbers.
I think this “safety” is called “tyranny”..
Please send this o Nancy pelosi and Chuckie Schumer. Their stated Philosophophy is ” never let a tragedy go unpoliticized’.
Anti-gun advocates are either uniinformed or intent on us being under a dictatorship again. I believe the former covers most of them and the latter covers the leaders.
Well said, and in particular that applies to congress critters. They know that if they’re still part of America’s “elite” when their dream of socialism is realized they will benefit financially. In the USSR, those people counted their rubles in their dachas on the Black Sea while the working-class proletariats had their little one-room walkup flats.
Actually Russia is Communism,
Hitler was a Solialist!!!!
Communism is Socialism by another name. Both come from the misguided philosophy of Marx and are focused toward the same end – dominance by a few over everyone else.
I Agree, if they don’t appreciate the fact that Because Of the 2nd Amendment, we Still Have the Rights that we Do Have…
God, Guts, and Guns made us ALL free, and keep us free today. According to the latest CDC study,.01% of guns are involved in any murder, most ALL are in the hands of convicted felons and criminals who ignore ANY gun laws. The remaining 99.9 % are owned by honest law abiding citizens. Why persecute the law abiding gun owners for the actions of the felons and criminals ? This run to condemn honest people as future criminals is outrageously wrong and illegal, as the Bill of Rights in the Constitution protects us against such condemnation. Any elected official in any state who speak against firearms in any form are breaking their oath of office, and should be impeached for being an “oathbreaker”, removed from office, and charged with civil rights violations of the First, Second, Fourth, Ninth and Tenth Amendments of our Constitution – the Constitution that is the law of OUR lands. The Constitution that we all have followed for over 200 years with no troubles (even during the “War of Northern Aggression”).
All gun owners – do not depend on others to protect your rights. You HAVE to join with all other gun owners to stop the “gun grabbers” and punish them for trying to steal away your rights. There is no other way to stop them from stealing your Constitutional rights away, and making you slaves to a tyrannical government.
This post shall not be “moderated”.
Type is not dark enough to read. ZTE, FB, & Google blocking this link
I’ll just retype the dull print and repost!
Yep
How can so many ‘Heads’ be so wrong and against the majority? We cannot let them rule and disregard our Constitution any longer. That is why we elected the President we did. We don’t want to belong to the Globalists/Socialists/Marxists.
Our elected president sounds like he is ready to throw in with them, I hope not. All of these companies listed are run by the rich elite that think that they will be immune to the fallout from the attempted removal of firearms in our society. Always look for an excuse to blame the law abiding citizens for the crimes of the criminals.
Costco has also taken a stand against gun owners and gun organizations . Do what you believe, we are dumping costco
Good for you.
Woooo- Costco?? I didn’t see then in the list. Please don’t tell me they are commies too- :0 !!
levi’s ; Sara lee ; Ben does Jerry- etc- these all easy to stop buying their products from, but Costco? really,?? they are anti constitution and stupid enough that the right to bear arms ahould follow suite with what Hitler first did in Nazzi Germany? ( disarm free people and then with out resistance, exterminate as they pleased ) Not Costco too.
Yes (definitely), Costco too! I cancelled my membership awhile back, when they made this loud and clear!
Citibank that issues the Costco credit card is definitely anti-gun. I haven’t read anywhere that Costco supports that stance. Are you sure?
Absolutely, positive! They have (as of two years go), removed every right winged book from the stores.
In addition, I haven’t seen a Bible in Costco for a few years! They used to sell very nice Bibles with huge discount.
I saw the anti gun sign (circle and slash across a gun) outside my local Costco in Mesa, AZ and asked to speak to the manager. I asked him if he realized that he was placing targets on the backs of his store full of customers. I said that I usually carry concealed and would be sure to do so in the future to help protect his customers. He said he had never thought of it that way. A week later on my next trip, the sign was down and has been for 2 years now.
Maybe each store manager can make policy decisions for their store.
Similar thing happened at WalMart in Texas.
Wow that’s awesome!! Good for you! Very inspiring, we should all go out and do the same in our respective communities and see what good change it can bring. 🙂
Guns keep the citizens free from the government over reaching into our lives.
when the people fear the government there is tyranny, when the government fears the people there is freedom! and remember— behind every blade of grass !
Gun control does nothing to prevent crimes or shootings. It helps criminals feel secure, and hinders law abiding citizens. Go after the criminals and mentally ill, thats where the problem is. Guns don’t kill people, mentally ill people do!
Mr. Stephen don’t get too carried away with the mental thing. You know how things can be twisted by Gov’t, and this will be used to get your and my guns. Example: You “fail” a “background” mental test. Of course the test is contrived, with the sole purpose of allowing the bad guys to know who you are and where you live. Don’t believe me? Do you recall voting rights laws? John dad2876@yahoo.com
You are so right, dad2876@yahoo.com. I haven’t thought in that regard to “voting right law” until I read your post. Great example!
John Davis, what do the voting rights laws have to do with gun rights?
When the trigger of a gun is pulled, the loud sound coming from the end of the barrel is the sound of freedom
to own this gun!
WMDT
You are right
There must be a lot of freedom in Detroit and Chicago.
How can an entire football or baseball team be anti 2A. And these other company’s,I have a hard time believing
every one in those company’s and organization’s are anti A2
It seems to me that almost HALF of the companies come out of Missouri… Mainly Kansas City!!
Contact them and find out for yourself. It is incumbent that we do our own homework and then help inform others…
These people need to revisit their history. They sure wouldn’t have those company’s in Hitler’s world or Stalin’s.
You are free to believe what you want, but leave my guns alone. If you want to live in a place where criminals are the only one’s that are armed go to another country.
I’m not sure I understand your point?!
Hitler and Stalin were both hateful Dictator’s.
The poop in the pudding as most of those corporations are run by dissidents of the Jews from Hitler’s Germany & Stalins Bolsheviks whose ancestors created and fined tuned Communism. To their credit they are following the plans written in the Communist Manifesto & The Protocols of Zion to achieve their New World Order or and more to the truth a Jew World Order where they will rule over all the gentiles and their nations. Their final goal is taking down America and disarming us is a must before they can start the all out genocide……..etc.
I take it you’re not a Christian. By the way, the Protocols of the Elders of Zion wasn’t written by Jews.
This is Therzl, again! You’re a fu….g idiot! If you prove yourself to be a threat to the Jewish community, you’ll be meeting the JDL (or just me). So tell me about the immutable, absolute Jew, and please enlighten me as to why I wish to dominate the globe? Truly, I’m at a loss on this one.
How many of you are so against the firearms community that you are willing to place advertised signs in front of your homes and businesses stating you are unarmed and powerless to defend your home, business, family, friends, and employees? This is another matter than comfortably hiding within the internet. The truth is most of the firearms community are those who have or are honorably serving their country and community while you run and hide.
I bet all those corporations on the list have armed guards on their payroll….
Everybody wants to live in Camelot where the sun shines and birds sing. We live were crazy people live, no law will stop crazy but you and I can watch those around us we can make our schools as safe as pro sporting events. There were more guns per capita 20 -50 years ago then there are now but we didn’t school up schools and churches because we respected life . We used to blame and punish the shooter but instead we spend more time and money protecting the criminal. We have pray out of school and we abort babies because they may be inconvenient !!!!!!! .wake up America
when tyranny becomes law rebellion becomes duty !
Guns and Gun Owners:
When you look at General Custer he was praised by his Civil War Brothers! He left to go to fight again for America only to find Washington Scalped him before the Indians. Today, you need to circle the wagons again…the poor
real Native Americans are in Casino’s because the Tribe owns them…can you believe they trust their Senators, and Congress ? Custer simply needed MORE Weapons, and new Kimber.
Life without a GUN, is NO less than a Shot in the dark! America The Land Of The Free and Home of the LOST
Democrat I’m a Vet, and a Law Enforcement Officer! My stand is FREE, and Keep More Guns READY.
I’m also a Vet, and my guns will always “Defend Freedom”. I took the oath to “Defend my country”, and I’ll die doing just that! No better way to go! Just with I had a son to pick up my gun and continue the fight!
Read the list then CYA
What are the Rams still doing in Missouri? Go to L.A. you liberal bums!
Amen to that.
I am 67 and have spent my life keeping a clean record. Because I have owned guns for the past half century, I find it extremely disconcerting to think, with the stroke of a pen by a politician without regard for the Constitution, can suddenly label me a criminal.
As this is written, the people of the country of Nicaragua are fighting the communist leader Ortega. The same Ortega that was a bank robber when Somoza was in power. The citizenry are using rocks and machete’s and any thing they can find to fight against the guns of the government. So let’s see, people, no guns, government lots of guns.
Result, 80+ citizens dead and 0 police and army members dead. Oh wait, one got hit in the head with a ROCK!
This is why we need to keep our 2nd amendment. Not for hunting, but to be able to fight back oppression (Not if) but when it comes.
Richard H.
Immediately following disarming Russians ‘ For Public Safety ” he slaughtered 25 million in little more than 4 years ! Entirely too much reverence given elected tyrants ! Tyrants are tyrants regardless how they got there .
Left out his name , LENIN !
Then you should bury some guns, and not on your property but some where. If you can add some for a friend. 😉 I have a map for my family and it’s not on them but to be given after my death or disappearance. So prepare, I have a bad feeling that the US has sold out to the globalist agenda and slowly we are being taken. Remember the oath!
Burying anything in the Earth requires special care. A container that can be absolutely sealed. The air in the container must be extracted and replaced with nitrogen. This will assure items remain dry and rust free.
With high quality seals, encased items will last for years.
Interesting how many of the organizations start with “American” Or “National” like a majority feel that way
I see that there are many corporations and CEOs that are ANTI-LAW. In case they forgot the 2nd Amendment is the law. Breaking the las because you don’t agree a certain viewpoint is not any kind of FREEDOM. You would then have all sorts of criminals and illegal aliens clamoring for justice. For which they don’t deserve. That’s why they’re called ILLEGAL. But then that’s the new norm in OUR country. All those that oppose the LAW are criminals. Sorry you M-13 and Moslem scum. Go ahead use OUR laws against us, but not for long. The American people will someday learn what they’re doing to OUR country and say THAT’S ENOUGH! We have too many groups, whether they’re illegal or domestic TERRORIST (Leftists, Democrats, RINOs, and a whole bunch that would take a long time to name. It’s still OUR country (but for how long, wake up America!). They’re NOT taking over slowly, just put the Main Stream Media on notice we’re not going to listen to their SHIT anymore. GOD BLESS AND SAVE AMEWRICA!!
Those corporations are there because men with guns fought for their freedoms
Yea not getting my firearms. When they raise the age to 21 to by a long gun they should raise the age to vote back to 21. 18 – 20 got that right off the backs of every veteran out there and they still get that right because there still is a military defending the Constitution of the United States.
Don’t forget to raise the military enlistment age to 21, too. Let them go begging for cannon fodder to fight for the freedom of Wall Street putzes to plunder turd world countries.
Our educators are to blame for most anti gun people, they don’t teach the truth about history and why we are truly a FREE society,
Fucking sticking
If they want to take away my guns then they will make this law abiding citizen a outlaw because i wont give up my guns. The only way to stop a bad person with a gun is a good person with a gun. I have been to several gun safty classes and several shooting classes and believe that bad people will be runnig fearlessly because they will think no-one can stop them .. Well let them come to me
During WW2 Hitler said they couldn’t invade the US because there was a gun behind every tree
Mr. Peele, I believe it was the Japanese Admiral Yamamoto that made that statement, not Hitler.
Admiral Isoroku, Commander-in-chief of the Imperial Japanese Navy during WW2, and it was a statement “There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass”.
It was Yamamoto more guns than blades of grass
I defer my comments to these two philosophers:
Those who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. Thus, there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people.
If liberty and equality, as is thought by some are chiefly to be found in democracy, they will be best attained when all persons alike share in the government to the utmost.
A state is not a mere society, having a common place, established for the prevention of mutual crime and for the sake of exchange…Political society exists for the sake of noble actions, and not of mere companionship.
– Aristotle
“Look back over the past, with its changing empires that rose and fell, and you can foresee the future, too.” — Marcus Aurelius
Hey people screw your heads on right PLEASE!!!!! Guns don’t kill people, people kill people. Why is it that the gun is the only inanimate item in the American tool box that has been convicted of murder? If I run over someone and they die there is nothing done to the car. I am the one to face charges. Same if a knife is used, or even a ball bat. But in the case of a shooting you go after guns. After guns are taken away, what,s next. Knives, clubs, hammers? then we can be like Biblical times and take look at the first mass murderer in History. We all know the story of Sampson. He used the jawbone of an ass to slay !,000 Philistines. Do you come after the owners of donkeys?
If they used today’s “rules”, they’d convict Samson of murder and then ban donkeys.
Want my Gun’s? Come and TAKE THEM! If Your not willing to Die to take them, then shut the Fuck up! Because, I’m willing to Die/Kill to keep them!
I don’t understand why over half of these places/organizations are from Missouri… Mainly Kc.,Mo.
Isn’t that odd? I don’t know why it’s mainly from Missouri.. Just pointing out the facts.
Missouri loves company… Oh , that’s misery – same thing !
When I was a kid we played with toy guns. We played Cops & Robbers, Cowboy & Indians, and Army. After we graduated we went into the military and we played with real guns, I say played because we were using them to stay alive (most of us). We Said the Pledge to the Flag each morning and we had a silent prayer each morning before class. Even after playing with these toy guns for years we still turned out pretty good. People tend to forget that God, Guns & Guts is what made this country great, I guess that these liberals who want gun control have forgotten all about their American Heritage.
How is it that the American Firearms Association, a pro 2A org, is on this list??
That needs to be checked into.
Buford says
Good question.I wondered the same thing,
Nice, but Looks far from complete. I remember seeing a list some years back with the United Way on it, which isn’t listed here, so I’m guessing there is a lot more missing like Dick’s BoA, etc.
Possibly one of the problems with where people stand on the gun control issue is; mainstream media in this worlds “polite society news” thing is they dwell more on fake news to discredit President Trump, than they do showing what happens to gays/lesbians, and those not acting as a Moslem. Throwing them off roofs, putting them into cages and set on fire while alive, some cases after they are gang raped (yes men too), beheaded and so on. Show and report it as often as your discourse on Trump! And what are all the Jewish groups doing supporting gun control! Don’t you remember what your parents, elders went through?! Will you move back to Israel and try to change their gun laws and try disarming them?!?! What do you think will happen here in the U.S. if guns are taken away? Resurgence of hate groups like KKK, will be the law of the land and when Islam starts becoming a real danger people will flock to hate groups to better survive!!! Pay attention to history, you morons!!
America has become a country of fools and crybabies ,wanting the unholy government too take care of them……
IM JUST LIKE THE REST OF THESE PEOPLE WITH THEIR HONEST COMMENTS . I DONT KNOW ABOUT THEM BUT I FOR ONE, WILL FIGHT TILL MY DEATH . IVE NEVER SO MUCH AS HAD A TRAFFIC TICKET. I ABIDE BY THE LAW OF THE LAND, NOT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY !!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANKS FOR NOTHING !
I see several Jewish and black orhanizations listed herein. They SHOULD KNOW BETTER…Nazis, kkk, and other such predators attacked them while they were without protection (guns) and laid waste to THEM. SHAME on you all for this massive error in forgetting your history…and dooming yourselves to REPEAT it !!!
Exactly! They should know better. They’ve seen what can happen.
I am Jewish. Who knows the credibility of that list. I’ve been target shooting etc. for over 40 years. Most of the Jewish guys I know (and knew) own lots of guns and vote republican/conservative, myself included (also 25+ years in the NRA, GOA, CRPA…). I’m not an apologist, if that’s what some of you people are desiring. The Second Amendment essentially addresses human-nature, for man, fundamentally, doesn’t change. He is predictably static in many regards. Our forefathers were obviously aware of human foibles, flaws etc given the safety-nets woven into the US Constitution. In other words, how do we human-proof a codified set of doctrines and laws orchestrating the relationship between the government and the governed? I realize I’m oversimplifying, and perhaps talking through my hat, but safeguarding individual liberties was paramount. I DON’T understand the myopic, collective sensibilities of certain Jewish politicians, e.g., Fienstein, Boxer, Schumer, Sanders…ad infinitum. In the mid 1930s German-Jews were ordered to relinquish their compulsory- registered weapons. Stalin also confiscated before having his fun. Understandably, US legislators are supposed to represent their entire constituency; with that said, I don’t understand why the aforementioned viciously attack the 2nd Amendment in light of recent history, and not selfishly consider protecting Jewish lives. BTW, I was a member of the JDL (Jewish Defense League). One to many times I’ve been called a Christ-killer, anti-American…my 19 year old uncle died fighting those German-fucks during the Battle of Anzio, but a Jew is not a true American, so my family was told, so his sacrifice meant nothing.
The forefathers were so adamant about Free Speech and the Right to bear arms that they constructed The Bill Of Rights to be Amendments 1 & 2.
Boycott all these idiot company’s.
This is a good list to have. I had no idea it would so long. In contrast to some comments I saw, the list is quite legible and I had no problem getting to it through Google.
I agree — these companies should be boycotted and their anti-gun views made known so that more people can boycott them.
When the criminal hits THEIR doorstep………
Let ALL these anti-American anti-Constitutionalists call ANYONE ANYONE ANYONE but a guy with a gun.
Effing traitors and seditionists and communists.
I have been a shooter and hunter all my life, by the way I am 77 yrs old.I have left my guns in my truck and laying on the kitchen table, even in the back window of my truck when I was in high school. I have yet to see any of these guns get up and start shooting. It is not the guns it is the people. If someone wants to do harm they will find anything wether it is a car ballbat kitchen knife or a rock.
You’re right KWP. I’m only a couple of years younger than you and had to ride a horse to a one room-8 grade school in Wyoming. In 1953 I carried either a rifle (30-30) or pistol (45 acp) for protection. Not from people but coyotes and wolves. When I got to the school the guns were stowed in the gun locker in the schoolroom. We never even considered using them on our classmates or teachers. By the way I had the same teacher as my dad did. I have been using them since for game hunting. (Deer, elk, antelope, bears and birds. I learned as a kid that you don’t even point a gun towards an animal unless you are willing to eat it. I put 25 years in the navy from ’63 to 88. 17 of those years as a Navy Seal until I broke both legs. No more jumping-no more seal. But continued in the Navy until ’88. Never shot anyone except in combat.
I can’t believe the Jewish Groups on the list did they miss that memo about Hitler taking away guns right before he killed 6 million of them.
Their are two different types of Jews….The American Jew who is subjected to the same propaganda by our CIA controlled fake lying disgusting main stream media who just wants to live in peace and feed their family like the rest of the gentile Americans. The other is a Zionist/Satanic/Atheist who is a closet Communist who believes in the New World Order led by Jews where they will rule over humanity. They are the money men of the central banks of the world and use that power to influence the governments of the world to do their bidding and since they own the TV and print media they can manipulate the masses into following agendas detrimental to their own survival. It was those same people who financed Stalin’s Russia and all the wars since then……It’s their leadership behind this current gun grab and open border non-sense…..Oh they also have a spy in every computer made and used in America…..check out the “TALPIOT PROGRAM” for confirmation and more stuff you don’t want to know! Here’s one good link…https://talpiottalk.com/2018/04/02/talpiot-talk-2-the-foundation-of-the-talpiot-program-is-in-this-congressional-bill/
You should watch your vacuous spittle DC Off. My sentiments are still JDL, and I’ve yet to come across any evidence backing your pedestrian claims. I’ve personally dealt with WAR (Metzger), Aryan Nations, National Alliance, American Front…ad nausem (Harold Covington is always entertaining). I don’t know the names of the primary umbrella-organizations of today, but that’s easily learnt. I know your ilk, and your babble makes for bland demagoguery. Everything you wrote has been echoed my entire life.
Do the companies that support gun control realize that they would NOT be in business if not for the 2nd Admend. I
along with every person I can tell will NOT do business or trade with the closed minded people/business. I have
closed my accounts and will keep them closed. It saddens me to see our great country in such disparity due to the
closed minds of those whose forefathers who have made us so great.
WAKE UP AMERICA.
I’m with you on our 2nd amendment rights. However what is your answer to these killings in America schools? What do you say is the fix? Come up with your way on how to protect our kids in school.
That’s is what we need!
Let’s get this problem fixed ASAP! Our children are depending on you! There being killed like flies out there.
Let’s get our priorities right first before we lose everything our forefathers fought for and our freedom to bear arms.
I have to ask this question: How many school mass murders were conducted prior to Expelling God from public schools? I do believe it’s the same people that want our 2nd Amendment done away with that insisted God be expelled.
All the school shootings publicized on TV like Sandy Hook, Colorado & Parkland in Florida for ex. where all planned and done by assets of our government with assistance from Mossad on some of the other non-school shootings like Las Vegas……All fake bag men and patsies…..If anyone died they died from hands of our government or rogue string of it…….All to con and manipulate the people into giving up their rights…….It’s much bigger and complicated issue than I can expound on here…..but this is a brief of what I know to be true!
Everyone should be aware of these companies and avoid them if at all possible so as not to give them any financial support.
Insurance companies financing the anti-second amendment fools? The same companies taking more and more of our hard-earned dollars and covering less and less? I suppose the pharmaceutical companies are right in there too, huh? HUH!!!
what will happen when the LAZER RIFLE comes on the market don’t laugh there all ready here, just waiting on a small power pack. remember what Jefferson said ((( those who hammer their guns into plows will plow for those who do not.)))
Does anyone realize that the cowardly SW Bell Telephone, headquartered in San Antonio, of all places, is the corporate owner of AT&T? TIME TO SWITCH CARRIERS!
If you believe in the Second Amendment then please boycott these company’s if possible. The second amendment keeps our country free from dictators and keeps our government from turning on the rights and freedoms we have now. Every dictator that came to power removed guns so the people had no way to fight back. If our government removes the second amendment then the corruption in government will get worst and eventually people will not have any say in government. These rich CEO’s have no worries because they can move anywhere in the world to escape. The people in the USA need to understand why our fore fathers wrote the second amendment into the Constitutions Bill of rights.
FAKE NEWS WONT TELL YOU THAT GUNS THWARTED OVER 24,000 CRIMES IN 2017. IF YOU BELIEVE THE GOVERMENT AND LAW WILL PROTECT YOU, CALL 911 AND SEE HOW FAST THEY ARE THERE TO HELP. IF THEY ANSWER THE PHONE.
I’m a 70+ year old woman who has a concealed carry permit. I own three handguns, one of which I carry in my handbag.Thanks for publishing the list of anti-2nd Amendment companies. Definitely will not spend my $ there.
