Moms Demand Action massive protest against Krogers
That group of hand-wringers and gun grabbers who call themselves “Moms Demand Action” staged a massive protest against a Krogers grocery store in Lansing, Michigan the other day, according to the Lansing State Journal where they assembled to tell shoppers to avoid the Krogers until they changed their policy towards legal gun owners who pack weapons while they shop;
The eight women, including East Lansing resident Linda Brundage, asked shoppers to shop elsewhere until Kroger prohibits customers from openly carrying guns. Protesters were members of the nationwide Moms Demand Action For Gun Sense in America. Brundage heads the group’s mid-Michigan chapter.
Kroger’s 124 stores and 64 gas stations in Michigan will continue following state law, which does not prohibit open-carry of guns, said Ken McCLure, spokesman for Kroger’s Michigan division. McClure said lawmakers, not retailers, should decide the issue. He said any change on Kroger’s party would from its Cincinnati offices, not at the state level.
I commend the shoppers who were able to brave the huge protest and shopped at the store anyway and Krogers for standing tall with legal gun owners who keep those MDA protesters safe while they’re on Kroger’s property.
Thanks to Old Trooper for the link.

Kroger is also a military friendly company who has taken an active role in hiring military veterans.

Maybe they need to change their organization’s name to be more compliant with truth in advertising laws, “MYRMIDONS DEMANDING ACTION” would be a fitting change!!
PI: shouldn’t that be “Morons” vice “Myrmidons”?
“Morons” would be fitting, but I find “Myrmidons” a better description!
@ A PROUD INFIDEL:
Thank you!
Being ignorant of classical Hellenic mythology, I had to Google a whole new word to add to my vocabulary, i.e., “MYRMIDON”.
______________________________
A myrmidon is someone who will do whatever you say. A schoolyard bully often has a myrmidon for a best friend — someone who is sure to never point out that it’s wrong to hassle other kids.
To pronounce myrmidon correctly, say “MUR-muh-don.” A celebrity who hates it when people challenge her ideas probably has only myrmidons for friends. A myrmidon can also be specifically someone who unquestioningly carries out the violent orders of a boss. The word originated with the Greek Myrmidones, the followers of Achilles during the Trojan War, who were said to have been transformed into men from ants, which in Greek is myrmex.
OH NO!! Not another new word. My brain housing group is about to bust apart now…..
8 whole protesters… call out the riot squad. Or, as we do in Texas, one riot = one Ranger.
Mainly due to their buy $100-get $.10/gallon off, Kroger’s has the bulk of my business and I ain’t changing. Unless one of those mothers can help me fill a 38 gallon tank at $.80/gallon off!
Here we go Sea Cows with way to much time on there hands. And I’m willing to guess they received a donation from some leftwing anti gun group. Bahahaha
They get a lot of money from Bloomberg. In fact, Bloomberg finances most of the anti-gun groups.
Sea cows? What did manatees do to offend you?
Thees nitwits are attention whores and drama queens, nothing else.
MDA is fully funded by Bloomberg. That’s no secret.
Gee whiz, wotta surprise,..NOT!!!
A whole eight shrews. Someone ought to tell these harpies that they’re doing it wrong.
Haven’t these Moms Demand Acionbeen told or figured out that Gun Free Zones equal easy victims zones. Joe
Makes me want to immediately find the nearest Kroger and spend some $$ there.
Yep, keep protesting, idiots. It’s your right. Meanwhile, I will continue to laugh at you for choosing to act stupid in public.
^^^ THIS ^^^
I would ask these deluded shrews one question. “In all of these mass shootings you use as tools to suspend civil rights, how many of them occurred in so called “Gun-Free zones”?
The bovine look of incomprehension would be well worth it.
They don’t want you to look at facts like that, they want you to remember the children.
Those little magical unicorn shield gun-free zone stickers protect people against guns.
LOOK AT THIS BABY!
8 protestors versus 124 stores and 64 gas stations.
Hmmm… looks like they’ll be plenty busy.
Will the attention whores EVER get enough time in the spotlight to fill their needy nuttiness?
With nearly 200 stores and gas stations at issue, you just know that at some point a customer or clerk with a firearm thwarted a robbery. I like Jerry920’s comment regarding the mass shootings at gun-free zones. That’s a scream. And true.
BTW – a Columbine survivor, who is now a legislator supports repealing the “Gun Free School” stupidity and stands up for victims’ rights.

I notice how all those guys are wearing guns in holsters like gunslingers, Chip.
Was that what the picture was about?
Call ’em Angelina.
It’s better if the weapon is a lot higher. Remove the upper thigh strap, shorten the drop, put the lower thigh strap at or above where the upper one is now. It works a lot better.
you trying to ruin someone’s tacticool? Shame on you.
On the other side of the coin, here’s this idiot who couldn’t comprehend rights vs responsibilities…

If I lived in an area that had a Krogers outlet (not common here in California), I would ask these shrews two questions, plus a follow-up.
1) How many people have been shot by bad guys in Krogers?
2) How many times has a crime been attempted at Krogers, but stopped by an armed citizen?
Follow-up) Compare those two numbers, apply a little bit of this stuff that Socrates called “Logic,” and stop bothering people with your bullshit. You bedwetters are part of the problem. Now, fuck off.
Surprised Code Stink and these clowns haven’t joined up.
“Lost Causes are Us”.
Girl fight! CODE PINK vs. MOMS DEMAND ACTION, a group cage fight for the title of Attention Whore Queens. I would pay to see that.
I dunno if it’s a good idea to take chances with the stupidity reaching critical mass from such an event. There’s no way to know what might happen! Imagine the potential collateral damage!
Oh. I got it. You mean that clothing may be torn off and we would have to see them semi-naked or worse. You are right! Forget about the cage fight. It’s cancelled.
Tain’t right but, I can envision a black hole joke in there somewhere.
And an E.L.E.
I would pay not to see it.
Would be quite a revenue generator.
I’ll bring the mud. Or would jello be better?
Cole Slaw…
Cream of Broccoli soup.
“The eight women”, wow now that’s a show stopper if I ever heard one. I’m surprised customers could find a parking space. Hey, “Moms”, while you’re hanging out around Krogers anyway, may I suggest, Midol?
You claim they’re women I’m thinking I need to see cheek swabs before I believe you…
Which cheeks?. . . . .
Now that was truly unnecessary and totally amusing!
#HagLivesMatter ?
Of course they only protest at the large national chain store and not at the local chain or mom and pop stores that also follow the law.
Mom & Pop shopowners would probably chase them off with a shotgun.
I’d pay to see that. let me get my lawn chair and some snacks.
Fair amount of local stores in Houston have signs welcoming concealed carry folks and supporting the Second. My local Ace has a larger sign for that than their operating hours.
Oh. Brother.
Moms demand action over something that kills less than 90 people per year…mass shootings are 1% of the homicides tracked by the FBI.
That doesn’t mean it’s not a tragic or horrific event, but as far as social policy is concerned there is nothing to do about something that takes so few lives in the US that makes sense from a perspective of writing social policy law.
Dogs kill around 45-50 people a year, no one is concerned about being chewed to death by a dog when they head out. Yet many people are afraid of something that is only twice as likely to happen as a dog eating them….
If they want to save the lives of children they should be looking at something useful that actually kill children regularly, like accidents or cancer. Unintentional injuries are the leading cause of death for all Americans between the ages of 1-44, the next leading causes of death for those age groups are cancers, heart disease and for the 15-34 year olds suicide. Homicide is third for that bracket as well, but when you research the reality of those homicides it’s crime related for about 90% of them as well as heavily related to ethnicity and geography. But those are uncomfortable things to discuss, why blacks and latinos are 90% of the victims and perpetrators of homicide in large urban centers like New York or why so many 15-34 year olds aren’t getting the mental health support required and opt for suicide instead of treatment.
Focus on those real killers isn’t sexy and doesn’t gin up a great deal of public support but those real killers are where the deaths of our young people reside, not in mass shootings by lone lunatics with illegal weapons.
I should have stated that mass shooting are 1% of the firearms homicides tracked by the FBI each year they are less than 1% of all homicides as tracked by the FBI, my apologies for the oversight.
How awesome would it be if an armed robber robbed them during their protest and a armed citizen stopped him?
Some local woman here in TN got her knickers twisted by this a few months ago. Kroger told her the same thing. And the news outlets, dumb enough to pick up on her rant, got an earful from local commentors. It went nowhere fast.
They have tried it too here in NC recently at a Krogers. 3 or 4 hags showed up, made a fool of themselves, few paid attention and they left. Krogers response was pretty much “we encourage everyone to follow current law. We are out of this argument. Go take a mud bath”
I’d love to counter protest them right after eating a couple of Fiber One Oats & Peanut Butter bars, some broccoli, and part of a sweet onion. I once did that about 45 minutes before having to endure a TSA gauntlet, and the pat-down search WAS A REAL GAS!!
I’d eat the same and act like I was interviewing them while I blew my opinion of them right out of my ass!
