Oh no, they smelled blood in the water and acted. They are getting their free publicity and winning because of the actions of OCT. This is not helping gun rights in any way.
<Sarcasm warning>
Okay merl I concede the actions of OCT have completely negated all the incredible headway in preserving our rights we'd made until now and luckily MDA was around to deliver the kill shot. OCT is probably even responsible for the mag bans in Colorado AND the "assault weapons" ban in CT but definitely the "bullet button" in CA! They are now the "new" enemy for legally exercising their right against your wishes, prompting bad press and for being stupid. Oh and poor dressers. MDA is blameless, simply exercising "common sense" by creating hysteria around a [legal] non-event and bullying businesses into enacting policy to force their beliefs on everyone irrespective of the law. Of course Target had no choice because they didn't receive any immediate complaints from the people actually there but surely they think it's bad because you do. Dang I keep forgetting OCT is also the only gun rights organization in history to ever have their actions/statements result in bad press or provide fodder to the gun grabbers. <end sarcasm >

No I don't think it helps gun rights merl but I think I'll go have some beers instead.
