Boycott Starbucks!
(Gun Victims Action) is organized to educate the public about: 1. The epidemic of gun violence in the United States that results in tens of thousands of gun homicides, suicides and accidental gun-related deaths each year, costing U.S.taxpayers billions of tax dollars. 2. Why gun violence is a direct consequence of current gun laws. 3. How sensible gun laws can simultaneously protect the Second Amendment right of the legal gun owner and the rights of non-gun owners to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. 4. The urgent need to find common ground between legal gun owners and non-gun owners that minimizes gun violence in our culture.
