National Gun Victims Action Council : ウィキペディア英語版 | National Gun Victims Action Council The National Gun Victims Action Council (NGVAC)〔(NGAC website. )〕 is an organization which advocates for increased gun control. The NGVAC uses targeted boycotts of various businesses and organizations in an attempt to persuade those organizations into changing their gun policies, or advocate for increased gun control. NGAC is based in Chicago and headed by Elliot Fineman, who "became active in gun control causes after his son was shot and killed in a San Diego restaurant in 2006 by a mentally ill man wielding a legally purchased handgun."〔("Buy latte, pack gun: Starbucks hit with boycott -- and 'buycott'" ), Los Angeles Times, 15 Feb 2012.〕 ==Starbucks boycott== (詳細はBrady Campaign proposed a boycott of Starbucks due to their gun policy.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Anti-gun Group to Boycott Starbucks on St. Valentine’s Day )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Brady Campaign Urges Starbucks To Prohibit Guns In Its Retail Outlets )〕 At that time, Starbucks released a statement saying "We comply with local laws and statutes in all the communities we serve. That means we abide by the laws that permit open carry in 43 U.S. states. Where these laws don’t exist, openly carrying weapons in our stores is prohibited. The political, policy and legal debates around these issues belong in the legislatures and courts, not in our stores."〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Starbucks Target of Anti-Second Amendment Groups, But Advocates Organize Counter Rally in Hawaii and Other States )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Starbucks Position on Open Carry Gun Laws )〕 In 2012, the National Gun Victims Action Council published an open letter to Starbucks, asking them to revise their policy, and also proposed a "Brew not Bullets" boycott of the chain until the policy is changed, with Valentines Day selected as a particular day to boycott the chain.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=GVAC Email Starbucks )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Boycott against Starbucks over gun laws )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Lovers and gun lovers at Starbucks? )〕 In response, gun rights advocates started a counter "Starbucks Appreciation Day" buycott to support Starbucks stance, and suggested paying for products using two dollar bills as a sign of Second Amendment support.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Guns and coffee: Starbucks again an open carry policy battleground )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Mich. gun advocates support Starbucks' open-carry policy )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=2A supporters start Buycott to battle the Starbucks Anti-Firearm Boycott )〕
