One very high visibility gun controller talked about why he took action against firearms. The short summary of his answer:
1. Strong emotion
2. The mantra, "Somebody must do something."
Before I continue, I implore all members here for three actions:
1. Do NOT post replies that badmouth any person or company. If that begins, I expect a Moderator to close the threat right away.
2. Watch the entire 25 minute video linked below before replying here.
3. Focus on understanding the mindset of controllers like this one, and try to post proposed meaningful actions we can take to counteract their positions.
PayPal CEO Dan Schulman interviewed Dick's CEO Ed Stack, asking why Ed removed firearms from his stores. The discussion is very telling. As I said above, the decision to act was all amount emotion stirred by the Parkland shooting. My added comment: there was no use of any facts or logic in the decision, it was all about his emotional state. Further, the actions he took were driven entirely by the well-worn mantra, "someone should do something," without considering that it is essential to do something that will actually work.
