Inside Track
Anti-gun Billionaires Now Targeting Kroger
With a series of newspaper ads and billboards, former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s anti-gun group Moms Demand Action (MDA) hopes to embarrass or shame the Kroger Company into changing its policies regarding its customers carrying firearms into its 2,640 grocery stores in the United States.
At present, Kroger operates its stores under the prevailing state laws regarding lawful firearms carry. But Shannon Watts, the founder of MDA, wants to change that. In a clip on CBS This Morning on Friday, September 5, she said: “Hopefully, Kroger will respond quickly, and we can move on to other companies and other laws and policies.”
In an effort to clarify, talking head Jan Crawford of CBS noted that Watts’ group “insists it is not against guns or the Second Amendment, but believes people shouldn’t be allowed to walk around grocery stores with loaded weapons.” Translation: According to Crawford, Watts and MDA believe in the right of people to bear arms as long as they are prohibited from doing so.
