Work on something like the laws allowing for the MURDER of THOUSANDS of CHILDREN (BABIES) per day!!!! According to WHO, there are an estimated 40-50 million abortions annually - corresponds to approximately 125,000 abortions per day worldwide! 2,400 per day in the US in 2017!

What they mean by gun safety policy is really anti gun policy. Denocrats think gun owners r evil dangerous ppl unless its thier politicians body guards who are armed then its ok. But u the average american ur not allowed to eat a big mac while protecting ur self

Hahahahahahahaha what a joke! 98% of mass shootings happen in gun free zones!!!

thumperftw It is interesting that Lowe's has no store policy. It is absolutely against company policy to carry weapons in their Corp offices in NC.

the grade refers to the danger level. the lower the grade the less dangerous it is. got it, thank you newsweek!

Ah yes, because it's important that McDonalds and Chick-Fil-A have gun policies. lol wut

None of these businesses sell guns, FYI.

'We need to go after guns themselves' is a bit of a turn off for me.

CrystalRose126 Home Depot and Chick-Fil-A are trash anyway. Though I rarely eat fast food, McDonalds , you need to do better.

A short list - why would they even bother . Their mission statement says nothing concerning patrons or employees. Only to increase shareholder value. $$$$$$$$$

Anti gun/ NRA group talks shit on company’s that support 2A/NRA. There fixed it for you.

I would never buy a gun from McDonald’s

First on CNN Business: Gun safety advocates grade stores. Walmart got an A; Home Depot got an FGun-reform advocacy groups released a scorecard that gives grades to 29 retailers based on their in-store gun policies, public stance on gun safety and donations to top NRA-backed politicians. Just three companies received As. Sixteen received Fs. It's a good start. 🤡nn I'm glad. I'm happy to see mothers across this country organizing these things because what we were doing before wasnt protecting kids. I dont care about the 2nd amendment when it helps people slaughter kids in schools. Amendments dont trump the right to live as a child
