Quote of the Day
Standing up to the manufacturers of these weapons of war isn’t enough. They are shielded by lobbyists and legal protections, making them hard to stop in traditional ways.
That’s why we’re taking action—not by going after the gun makers directly, but by targeting the companies that do business with them… those one step away. Retailers. Lawyers. Brands that power their supply chains.
By taking action against businesses that support gun makers, we can disrupt the systems that allow mass shootings to continue.
We are one step away from saving lives.

About HP3: One Step Away – Highland Park Peace Project
We can make good use of their database. We look there for companies we want to do business with (those labeled enablers) and who we wish to avoid doing businesses with (those labeled heroes).

Their “heroes” list doesn’t seem all that useful – it lists lots of companies that just…have nothing to do with guns in general. 84 Lumber? Really?
And “Academy Sports”, which SELLS firearms, is listed as an “exposed enabler”. Um, yeah, thanks for the advertising?
They are acting like it’s some useful list, but from scanning over some of it, it really doesn’t seem to be anything but “do they sell guns”.
They also include companies that ban the carry guns in their stores. Those can be useful.
