Further to Paul Constant’s article in our June 26 issue about gun-addled America, Target, one of the premium discount retailers in the U.S., has asked gun lobbyists in states where open carry laws exist to not parade en masse through their stores with high-powered rifles as a way of flaunting/demonstrating their right to bear arms.
As you can read in this Guardian report, Texas, Alabama and North Carolina are some of the states with open carry laws, and the Target initiative, which more and more retailers are adopting, is being spear-headed by a group called Moms Demand Action.
