Call Kmart - Shop Walmart
Invest 10 minutes to help save your
guns
Kurt Amesbury, J.D.
K-Mart has just announced that they will be phasing out ammunition
sales in their stores nation wide within the next 90 days. The move was
prompted by pressure from gun control advocates.
If you care about your Second Amendment rights, It is important that
you take a few minutes to tell K-Mart what you think of their new
policy. A 10-minute FREE phone call could make all the difference in
the world. Just dial
1-800-247-0200
(Press 1 after being connected.)
and ask for clarification on their "no ammunition" policy. Follow up with
a statement to the effect that you've been a K-Mart customer, but will
no longer be one unless the policy is immediately and publicly reversed.
Be polite!
This should be a death of a million cuts!
The thousands of people who read this page alone, all calling K-Mart,
spending just 10 minutes each to express disapproval - will have K-Mart
spending man-months (if not man-years) just answering the phone!
Add in similar responses from other lists, and we can MELT K-Mart's
phone lines. TELL YOUR FRIENDS!
If K-Mart follows the adage that for every complaint there are 100
people who aren't happy about the problem, we'll see an immediate
reversal of policy. (Sweet!) Well, get busy dialing! We cannot do it
without you!
It's important that you make K-Mart explain their policy because it
forces them to go through the process with each individual. Ask follow
up questions, like,
1.Are you saying you think your customers are criminals?
2.Do you really think that by not selling ammunition you are affecting
anything but your own bottom line and your reputation as an
anti-Constitutional merchant?
3.Why do you want to undermine the right of the people to bear
arms?
4.Have you considered that no matter how unprofitable you may
consider ammunition sales, since K-Mart still bears the stigma of
being anti-Second Amendment (thanks to Rosie O'Donnell) any
move in this direction will give millions of gun owners the nudge
they need to shop elsewhere?
Cite your own personal intentions. I just told them that when Rosie
came out with her statement that all gun owners should be in jail, and
K-Mart didn't fire her, I dropped K-Mart, not setting foot in a K-Mart
for
more than a year and a half. When Rosie was canned, I started
shopping at K-Mart again. With K-Mart's new policy, I will never set foot
in a K-Mart again... except perhaps to scarf up some bargains at their
bankruptcy clearance sale.
No need to be acrimonious. Just state the simple facts.
And keep them on the line as long as possible.
Your call will be just one drop in a torrent of disapproval, but our
strength is in numbers. If K-Mart sees their decision washing away their
bottom line, there will be an abrupt reversal. And that REALLY matters.
Why?
If K-Mart is forced to do an about face (again), after their former
embarrassment on this issue, it will keep many other merchants from
making the same mistake. Think about the Smith & Wesson capitulation
to government pressure. Other gun manufacturers were thinking,
"Maybe we should take the deal too." Only the fact that gun owners
CRUSHED S&W in a true grass roots rejection of their decision has
prevented any other gun manufacturer from even considering similar
foolishness. And S&W, as you may know, was recently sold by its
former owners at bargain basement prices.
It's time to bring pressure to bear. This won't cost you anything but a
few minutes of your time.

K-Mart Update
by Kurt Amesbury, J.D.
All I can say is,
WOW!
A few days ago I encouraged you to call K-Mart to voice
your displeasure with their new policy ending the sale of
handgun ammunition in K-Mart stores. I expected that a
few folks might call... but it seems the avalanche of calls is
starting to overwhelm the Red K. Latest reports indicate
that K-Mart is no longer accepting complaints about their
new policy on their toll-free line. To which I say,
HA!
That's our signal to redouble our efforts.
If you haven't called K-Mart yet, now would be a good time.
You might want to use one or more of these toll free
numbers:
1-866-562-7848
1-800-344-1004
1-800-635-6278
1-800-253-4642
1-800-270-4603
1-800-247-0200
Some of them may not be designated "customer complaint"
lines, so be prepared for puzzled responses and confusion.
If you are referred to a non-800 number, ask if there is a
1-800 customer complaint line.
If you have already called K-Mart, now's a good time to do
it again.
Of course, the K-Mart folks may try to shuffle you off to
another number (so the calls aren't on their dime). That's
okay. Be sure to ask them before hanging up, if it's the
same number to which they refer all their customers. Or if
it's just the way they treat America's 80 million gun
owners.
