My e-mail to Target corporate management:

I find it ironic that a company with a name and symbol like yours, one that claims to support veterans and troops, has fallen in with the extremist anti-gun zealots of Michael Bloomberg's front organizations with your recent "ban" of personally owned firearms.

While I recognize some people have had stupid counter-productive displays, your ban-that's-not-a-ban was the wrong way to handle things and I find it as offensive as all of Bloomberg's assaults on our Constitutional rights.

My shopping henceforth will go to stores like Wal-Mart that don't undermine my Constitutional rights or react to the irrational fears, distortions, and outright lies spread by organizations like the ironically named Mayors Against Illegal Guns or Everytown for Gun Safety.
