Shopify bans firearms industry from franklin armory today

[67Chev]

I received a few e-mails today from firearm companies that had information about their e-commerce provider changing their policy regarding firearm and firearm accessories sales online. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0...453019857&mc_cid=6f3ca2fa1f&mc_eid=d27416bb48

I found this as well. Shopify Banning Gun Dealers, Won't Answer Questions As To Why

 

[Cerberus Group]

Maybe because I'm not a gun dealer....but I can fix that!

Time to drop them just 'cause.

Maybe they should contact the ACLU?

I know someone who does. A budding shooter I've hosted and helped to learn the proper handling of firearms.

He just build a commercial site for my wife's business and he was very reasonable.

Is there anything that will help us survive this deterioration of our country?
One side is tearing it down & the other is trying to save it, it's not looking good.

Yes, people like us who are not the problem...we are the solution. We band together first in friendship, then in brotherhood family. A tight bond that can not be broken by the tearing down.

Time to come together to stand and fight the lunacy that has reared it's ugly head.

The left has drawn its power from the loss of a rigged election, their gal didn't win so they are doubling and tripling down on the only thing that really matters to them. Control of the opposition!!!

I never even heard of Shopify until reading this thread. May they go the way of the Dodo.

It started with Cody Wilson: Cody R. Wilson on Twitter

About a year ago, the CEO of Shopify posted an explanation of why it served Breitbart in the face of pressure to refuse service. Here is an archive of that article: In Support of Free Speech – Tobias Lütke – Medium

It was a good well reasoned piece about the inadvisability of corporate censorship. This week, Shopify abruptly terminated the account for the Ghost Gunner CNC milling machine site, deleted the original article, and posted an update indicating it had a change of heart (although it does include the original text in its new expression of its policy): In Support of Free Speech (Update)

Everyone who has been banned from shopify should lawyer up and sue as a group for reimbursement of money spent developing their Shopify site. Rare Breed in particular has spent $40,000 dollars from the second link preparing for a product they won't be able to sell through them.

Here is a perfect example of why it is always better to operate your own hardware, instead of external hosting or outsourcing to the cloud. Over the long term, it is cheaper to run your own equipment, and you have total control over what you run. It is just a matter of time before the various cloud platforms decide what they will allow you to run on their hardware. Can you image if a big company like Ruger or S&W ran all of the IT on the cloud and the cloud decided that they no longer would allow fire arm related companies to host on their infrastructure? Chances are these fire arm companies would have sold off all of their on-premise equipment when they moved to the cloud.
