Groupon Distances Itself From Gun Community: Indefinitely Suspends All Gun-Related Deals

Jan. 22, 2013 9:53am Becket Adams

Online deals company Groupon decided last week to suspend all gun-related deals on its site, making it the latest company to cautiously back away from anything related to firearms.

“All scheduled and current gun-related deals featured on Groupon North America, including shooting ranges, conceal-and-carry and clay shooting, have been placed on hiatus while we review internal standards that shape the deal inventory we feature,” Groupon spokeswoman Julie Mossler said in an emailed statement.

“The category is under review following recent consumer and merchant feedback,” the statement adds.

News of Groupon’s decision broke after a Texas gun shop owner had a deal for discounted concealed handgun license classes cancelled before its set expiration date.

“The Groupon representative calls me up and he says that ‘Well, because of the CEO, he’s decided to suspend all Groupon deals related to handguns, concealed handguns or anything dealing with guns period,’” owner Michael Cargill tells KTBC Fox 7.

“It’s as if people at Groupon equate anybody that believes in the Second Amendment with the armed monsters that occasionally make headlines and that’s not the people that sit here in our concealed handgun license course,” he adds.

After President Obama’s press conference on guns last Wednesday, Cargill said the number of people signing up for the deal went through the roof.

“[T]he deal just went crazy and it looked like we were going max out,” he said.

However, by Friday afternoon, Groupon had suspended Cargill’s deal – one day ahead of its set expiration date.

True, Groupon reserves the right to cancel any deal at any time, but the company must put it in writing first. Cargill claims he never received a written notice and is now considering taking legal action.

“If we’re able to sue, then I want to sue,” he said. “But if I cannot do a lawsuit or a class action lawsuit against Groupon, what I am asking … I’m asking everyone in the Second Amendment community to boycott Groupon, because the message they’re sending is, ‘Look, we do not want to support law-abiding citizens taking time out of their schedule to learn the safety surrounding firearms.’”

Similar deals at other Austin, Texas, gun shops have been cancelled by Groupon, according to KTBC Fox 7.

“The decision to suspend gun-related sales will negatively impact Groupon,” Eli Federman, SVP & Chief Communications Officer for 1SaleADay, told TheBlaze. “Considering the timing with President Obama’s gun-control executive orders, its safe to assume this decision was political.”

“Groupon is based in Chicago which has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the nation, so their corporate values seem to reflect that anti-gun culture,” he adds. “The decision to suspend gun-related deals is out of touch with the vast majority of the American people who believe in responsible gun ownership.”

A Groupon spokesperson did not respond to TheBlaze’s request for comment.

Hey! Why aren’t you following Becket Adams (@BecketAdams) on Twitter?

  Done! The tyrants and bullies are making those that believe in the the principles that founded our country more connected to each other. Both Democrats and Republicans have been a massive failure at defending the one thing that is their SWORN duty. No where in the the Constitution does it say you only have to uphold the parts you agree with and you can P*ss all over the rest of it.

  This is what I sent them … short, to the point, yet civil:
  
  —
  
  I want your company to know that we will no longer be purchasing any Groupon deals no matter how good they appear until you reverse your anti-gun stance and allow deals on firearms.
  
  Additionally, I will ensure I am informing every business owner and consumer I know about your anti-gun policy and I am quite sure due to that some of them will do the same as I.
  
  If you change your stance on this, I will again consider your services. Until then I will find better places to spend my hard-earned money.
  
  Respectfully but in disagreement,

  I just added them to my no fly list – right beside Bank Of America after they froze a super customers account because they made guns. Folks there are just a few things we make in America and that’s , cars, trucks, guns & ammo. Most of the cars made here are foreign. Ford makes 1/2 of theirs here and GM makes about 1/4 here.Most are made in Canada and Mexico. A little over 3/4 of all guns are made in the US and they are the only industry in the country that is working 24/7 and employees get all the overtime they want.

Just like Progressive Insurance, AARP and the like of GEICO. They don’t donate to conservatives or conservative causes.
They espouse capitalism but stick us with socialist leaders. Go figure!

All laws that have been made are not only against the Constitution and Bill of Rights but this Act that re-affirms the Constitution. This Act has and can not be rescinded. Please people we don’t have long to do something.

  You know, just an idea, instead of us boycotting every group under the sun, which appears to be where we’re heading, we should instead open mirror-image type businesses that embrace the Bill of Rights, and offer them as alternatives.
  
  Not that Groupon should be emulated, as I understand it vendors in general are distancing themselves from Groupon, not based on politics, but based on return for advertising dollar spent. Simply put, consumers walk into a store with a Groupon, buy exactly the discounted/free item, and leave. The notion of residual or additional spending seems to have taken a u-turn and is not working out this time around.

  Sure. But I mean you, me, others here. There is clearly a market for stores that offer products being offered by anti-bill of rights companies, and huge boycotts of some of them. There seems to be a built in niche where an average Joe like you, me or others can jump in, do the right thing, do the American thing AND become filthy stinking rich in the process. Something to think about.
  
  @Cavallo
  
  Exactly correct. I have a website URL/name secured and have started setting up the framework for an online store of sorts a few weeks ago based on this thought, right around the time that Dick’s went goofy.

  with the pittance Soros provides you trolls you had better decide which of the Groupons you want to use… ask a Soviet immigrant how plentiful the food was under communism, comrade… and how much choice they had in what they read or where they expressed their out of touch opinion.
  
  the freedoms gained and protect by the CITIZEN’s firearm are what allow you to make such intentionally inflammatory comments.

  Wow. Such vitriol for making my own choices. Isn’t freedom to choose what you guys always spout off about? Guess that only applies if I agree with you.

  Yes dear, you’re a victim. And not a good reader. I ceded you right to make your own choices. I just noted that you were not the kind likely to return the favor of letting me make my own choices. I notice you didn’t address that.
  
  Now go shopping, hon.

  Jteagle- no one here says you can’t do that. Everyone is saying you have the freedom to do that. However they are making it known that you are making idiotic choices. I mean the entire lifestyle is a complete and utter contradiction but people here still support your right to do it just don’t expect happiness about it

  Ghost…you won’t follow the laws? Nobody is talking about taking your precious guns. Wow you guys are paranoid. I respect your right to exese your freedom in anyway you choose. I didn’t even attack anyone. I just made a comment but all of you immediately go into attack mode. Real bada$$es over the internet. Also I know it’s easy to make a typo while submitting a comment on your phone or auto correct will get you sometimes but some of you really need to learn the difference between “your” and “you’re”. Makes you look like even bigger idiots.

  Jteagle- you’re obviously not up to date on current events. Obama is trying to pass an assault weapons ban. And that will eventually led down the road to the rest of the guns. The government never just “stops.” I’m a history major and I know all about past and even current governments that never “stopped” taking away rights or freedoms.
  
  Ghost- I often wonder how cool it would be to meet Jefferson and Washington. What would they have to say from someone in the future? And what would they say about current America? Would they be in shock and awe of the modern technology or would they be disgusted on how far America has fallen? I feel that it would be more towards the 2nd. :).

And so it goes………… Businesses are falling in line with Barrys anti gun agenda,we see banks that won’t do business with gun makers,and now this company and they’ll be more I’m sure. Between Barrys illegal EO’s and businesses leaning forward it’s going to be harder and harder to find firearms to buy,but that’s the whole point of this exercise isn’t it?
