Lowe's Promoting Anti-Gun Messages
Lowe's Companies Inc., one of the nation's largest retailers of
home improvement products, appears to have expanded its
enterprise to include promoting anti-gun propaganda on the
Internet. The Lowe's website (www.lowes.com),
under the guise of
its "Home Safety" message, tells gun owners to "[r]emove any guns
from the house" because "homes with guns are much more likely to
have a murder or suicide of a family member than in homes without
guns." The website also claims "[h]omes without guns are safer
for children."
These anti-gun messages can be found under a
section of the website called "Protect Your Child: Information
from Lowe's & Johns Hopkins." While it may be surprising to see
Lowe's promoting these kinds of anti-gun messages, the fact that
the "guide" was put together by the Johns Hopkins Center for
Injury Research and Policy and the Consumer Federation of America
(CFA) should explain a great deal.
The Johns Hopkins Center has
a long history of producing biased, anti-gun "research," and the
CFA has promoted numerous attacks on our Right to Keep and Bear
Arms. Most recently, CFA joined with the gun-ban extremists at
the Violence Policy Center (VPC) in an attempt to further the
lie that firearm manufacturers are not already subject to
countless regulations. Missing from the Lowe's/Hopkins/CFA
message was any mention of promoting educational programs for
children, such as the
award-winning Eddie Eagle GunSafe® Program.
