Moms Demand Action forced Jack In The Box to be a gun-free zone.

The wholly owned creature of former NYC Mayor Bloomberg, Moms Demand Action, is an organization whose intent is to rid guns from lawful Americans by any means possible.  One of their “victories” of creating yet another gun free zone, Jack In The Box restaurants, has kind of backfired on them. In fact, we can blame them entirely for creating another gun-free-zone victim!  First they rejoiced:

Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America is thanking Jack in the Box for its statement out today that it will begin enforcing the company’s no-firearms-in-stores policy. The company’s statement comes in response to a social media campaign and national petition launched just over 24 hours ago by Moms Demand Action to ask Jack in the Box to enforce its policy after last week’s semi-automatic rifle carrying demonstration at a Fort Worth Jack in the Box store that terrified employees so much that they locked themselves in the freezer, according to local police. The petition launched just yesterday has already received more than 5,000 signatures and social media hashtag #JackedUp in popular use.

A statement out today from Jack in the Box’s Vice President of Corporate Communications Brian Luscomb makes it clear the company is responding to pressure and acting on behalf of its corporate and franchise stores: “The presence of guns inside a restaurant could create an uncomfortable situation for our guests and employees and lead to unintended consequences.” According to Luscomb, copies of the company’s entire statement will be available in restaurants for employees to hand out to guests.

And then reality barged into their narrative:

Yesterday, a shooting occurred at the Jack in the Box restaurant at 1504 Hampton Street in Nashville, TN. Yes, you read this correctly. Jack in the Box! The same Jack in the Box that caved to pressure from Moms Demand Action asking them to ban guns less than 1 week ago! 

Jack in the Box recently released a public statement asking potential patrons to not bring guns to their restaurants. But yesterday, the 43 year old victim was in the parking lot when he was approached by a black male who offered to sell him drugs. The victim declined, and a brief verbal disagreement ensued. The suspect then pulled out a handgun, and fired two shots at the victim, striking him in the right shin with a non-life threatening injury.

That’s the ticket, Moms!  Nice of you to ‘set the table’ in the “Gun Free Diner” for the lawful folks to make themselves targets.  Which proves most of us Second Amendment supporters – if you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have the guns.  Make a gun free zone and the only folks that will obey it are the lawful citizen – not the criminals.

But, like Socialists who believe that socialism WILL work if only they could find the right people to implement it (hey, isn’t the VA completely socialized medicine – how’s that dogma working out for our vets), life would be unicorns and pixie dust in the minds eye of the MDA gals.  But hey, this is what happens when your head honcho-ette is the former top flack for Monsanto – you know, the GMO seed company?
