In response to public statements from Groupon that they are halting all gun-related promotions, including those involving firearms training and gun ranges, I contacted my sales rep to inquire about the status of my promotion for Tactical Firearms Training, LLC. I received this response:
"This isn't a stop, this is a pause of these types of deals while we review our own policies for the types of deals featured on Groupon. Ultimately, our inventory is driven by our consumers' tastes, and tastes change. In recent months, Groupon has received an extraordinarily high amount of feedback from customers who have been personally affected by gun violence. We are reviewing our policies to ensure that we have both our consumer and merchant experience top of mind. As of now, your deal has been paused on our website, not completely closed out. Please honor any groupons that have been sold so far, and we will pay you out accordingly. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns."
I am outraged. And if you disagree with Groupon's decision to punish law-abiding gun owners by halting promotions for gun-related services, including training sought by responsible citizens who simply want to protect themselves and their families as safely and effectively as possible, please reconsider your subscription to Groupon and contact Groupon to express your opinion. https://www.groupon.com/support
Also, please repost this message on any social media that you utilize in order to bring as much attention to this issue as possible. Thanks.
