Despite the prevalence of gun violence in Hollywood, it seems that anti-gun leftists everywhere else in America don’t want to see a firearm represented anywhere.
That was clear from the tone of a former Democratic lawmaker in North Carolina who was upset to find some patriotic can coolers at her local grocery store.
According to the Daily Caller:
Kroger and Harris Teeter bent the knee after a whiny complaint on Twitter.
The two popular grocery store chains were asked by a woman with barely more than 4,000 followers on Twitter why they were selling pro-America can koozies featuring guns and celebrating freedom, and were asked to “please remove them.”
Instead of telling the woman to get lost and stop complaining about such a minor situation, Harris Teeter and its parent company Kroger bent the knee and immediately vowed to stop stealing the koozies!
Both supermarket chains responded with their capitulation so quickly that it pleasantly surprised Christy Clark.
.@HarrisTeeter @kroger I am disappointed these coozies are being sold in an NC store. 110 Americans die every day from gun violence and most recently children, educators, health care providers, and family members were killed in mass shootings. Please remove them. #ncpol @NCGV pic.twitter.com/7RTkF1SOot

Thanks for reaching out, Christy. We will tell our leadership about your request that we remove these items from our shelves. We appreciate your feedback.

While Clark and many of her fellow liberals celebrated the move, both supermarkets received a heaping helping of criticism from pro-Second Amendment Americans.
As Fox Business explained:
“Are you serious? This is a stupid response. Not shopping at Kroger anymore for being anti-American,” one Twitter user said.
“Ban assault coozies!” another user responded.
“102 people die per day in traffic fatalities. Can you also please make sure no coozies depict cars? Thanks in advance,” a customer said in another tweet.
“3000 people die every year from food-borne diseases in the US. Please remove all your food items as well,” another account said.
Clark might not want to see guns anywhere in her state, but other elected officials feel much differently.
Here’s a clip from last year in which one North Carolina Republican explained his rationale for introducing a bill that would remove permit requirements for gun ownership.
