CVS Pharmacy and guns

[kmitch200]

When is a child old enough to use a gun responsibly?
Never, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. This is what the distinguished organization has to say about children and guns: Never allow your child access to your gun(s). No matter how much instruction you may give him or her, a youngster in the middle years is not mature and responsible enough to handle a potentially lethal weapon. Certainly the recent wave of school massacres give ample evidence of that.

I almost fell out of my chair laughing when I read that one.
Recalling my own childhood, and the number of guns available to me when I was in grade school, it's only by sheer luck that anyone in my city is alive.   

But drink the Koolaid and shut up: IT'S FOR THE CHILDREN!

lightning strikes will kill on average more than 1 out of a quarter million people. Why doesn't Congress try to outlaw lighning? Where's the public outcry against it?  Why aren't there several groups lobbying against it?

Now that is an idea.  We can have signs made up with showing a lightning bolt in the Slashed Red Circle, declare Lightning Free Zones around schools and playgrounds.

Owners of Golf Courses and other businesses could post their property as Lightning Free or not, at their discression.

Don't forget to ban, or at least tax heavily, golf clubs and trees. Both are terrible perpetuators of death by lightning, you know like ammo.

Well, since drug stores are now telling me how to raise my kids, maybe they ought to pitch in a few buck to help out with the expenses.

Just another on the long list of 'self-righteous a$$holes" telling us non-thinkers how to do things 'right'.

Should we ban Lightning Rods because they have no Sporting Purpose?

Only the evil black ones ones of color

Instead of telling your kids to say no to drugs you can tell tem to say no to drug stores. There are places other than CVS that will be glad to take their money and not tell you how to raise them.

Here's a question....WHERE are the reliable statistics? This would be a good place for the NRA to serve their membership. Maybe they have done this already but it's not "out there" enough..
They could collect gun related statistics with iron-clad proof and backup of the credibility of the studies, so that all of us (including the press and legal professions) have access to the REAL facts. It would be a lot easier to shut some of these jackasses up if we had supportable statistics and facts.

I sent to CVS...since we did do business with them (Jaybeth I posted a link to CDC sometimes in November that had the statistics on U.S. mortality...gotta go to work now so no time to find it),

"My wife orders Coreg, Lasix, and few other drugs from you for her maintenance drugs that control her heart condition.

The following article, "Children's Health Kids and Guns" is at once both inaccurate and offensive.  Your business is to merchant drugs; not to be politically active.

We will no longer purchase drugs from CVS.

I sent them a letter including a correction for their bogus statistics, a comment for their committee that authored that article to keep to their day jobs as they are incompetant outside their field, and a promise to pass the word as well as no more business at their stores, website, etc. I received a reply they had forwarded my letter to the appropriate people - probably the circular file!

Everyone needs to get in on this - letters, boycott & pass the word. If we get no response, maybe some signs in front of their places of business are in order?!
