NRA Criticizes Disney for Gun Ban
Posted on: Thursday, 3 July 2008, 18:00 CDT
The National Rifle Association bashed Florida's Walt Disney World for saying the resort was excluded from a law allowing people to take firearms to their jobs.
Disney sent an e-mail to employees informing them the company is exempt from the new law because the resort stocks an extensive supply of fireworks on its grounds, WKMG-TV, Orlando, Fla. reported Thursday.
The e-mail was sent out this week before the law was in place, the report said.
The Internet message told workers Disney is not required to allow employees to store weapons in their vehicles.
Disney is a prime offender when it comes to firing employees for exercising Second Amendment rights. There has never been any intention to exempt any part of Disney from the new law. We thought you'd like to see such arrogance, the NRA wrote on its Web site.

Posted by MurrowBoy on 08/25/2008, 23:45 I guess this just confirms what a ****hole Florida must really be if citizens don't have access to basic law enforcement and need to be armed against some crazed gunmen. Glad I don't have to live in such a loser state. Their real estate market is one of the worst in the country, I guess no one wants to live there except criminals. |

Posted by WowNeedstoThink on 07/08/2008, 20:59 Before criticizing the NRA, you should really think about a very real problem at Disney. Fact 1 - Florida does have the death penalty for 1st degree murder. Fact 2 - The Disney World Orlando resort has more square milage that New York's Mahattan Island. Fact 3 - Disney is perceived around the world as a major and wonderful American cultural icon. This unfortunately makes it a target for terrorist attacks. If a sick nut job former employee, guest, or , yes, a TERRORIST is willing to break Florida's criminal laws that risk the death penalty, how will Disney's silly "gun ban" actually going to deter that person from smuggling a weapon into such a large and porous area? The best deterrent, though still no guarantee against a motivated terrorist group, Disney can and should do is to have its own, albeit discreetly, fully armed and trained security force and make that force known to the public. Were it known that Disney had such a force, rational, law-abiding hand-gun license holders would be quite compled to leave their weapons as home rather than risk being shot or accosted by Disney's security force. |

Posted by Wow on 07/07/2008, 20:36 I agree. The NRA is the most ignorant, stupid, uneducated organization on the planet. They want guns in college, now they want guns back at Disney World? What are you morons going to say when the loser in the Mickey Mouse costume has a bad day and blows away 10 kids? I suppose you dumb asses will just say that everyone should be allowed to have guns at the park...that way they could have shot mickey? *SIGH* My own country is an embarrassment sometimes....How about you rednecks take your guns and go fight in Iraq, since you seem to think it's such a great cause. |

Posted by Michael Ruth on 07/04/2008, 17:39 NRA......this is why you are a bunch of idiots. Do you really want guns at the Disney parks. For what? So employees can make it the "Unhappiest Place On Earth" when they are having a bad day and off their supervisor and a few guests. The 2nd amendment was great, for the 1700's and 1800's, but this is 2008. The only thing bearing arms contributes to now is the violence at schools and in public places we read about and hear about on the news. Take your guns and shove them up your butt. |
