Groupon has chosen a side, and it's the wrong one.

From the Chicago Tribune:
Groupon Inc. has stopped all current and future gun-related deals, bowing to customer pressure a month after the deadly mass shooting in Newtown, Conn.
The Chicago company said Monday it has cancelled existing and planned discounts for shooting ranges, conceal-and-carry and clay shooting.
The statement didn’t specify the company’s motives or when it would resume such deals, other than to say that the “category is under review following recent customer and merchant feedback.”

I wish I had a Groupon account so that I could cancel it.

Maybe I'm in the wrong circle(s), but I've never heard of anti's complaining at businesses that support gun stuff... ? Sure, we hear politicians rag about it all the time.. but... normal joe schmoes ?
