More billionaire Bloomberg money at work. What no one seems to ask is: what's in it for him? Why would a Billionaire want a defenseless population? What financial gain could come from that? Maybe simply take things like: water, oil, natural gas, minerals or other desirable items by interested parties who are owed great sums? Hmmm...

So MDA is now paying people to carry guns in grocery stores?

I'd much rather see LGOC that THAT dude at Kroger.

How many have thanked Kroger's Management for their position?

MDA is putting up billboards near Kroger's headquarters.

We're being outspent and out marketed by Bloomberg.

Just one more case/example of why people need to be armed in their everyday tasks.

To spin it another way - why don't more lunatics try shooting up Wal-marts? The obvious answer - they know the chances are very high that they will be immediately engaged by an armed patron. That really takes the "fish in a barrel" fun factor out of their plans.

Couple of random thoughts....

First I would like to replace that shirtless man in the first picture with a topless female and the rifle toting guy with someone with a holstered handgun.

Second How do these "MDA" women know if that woman in isle 3 is a "good guy or a bad guy"?
Walking around with that purse that *COULD* be hiding an automatic pistol or even a BOMB.

Shouldn't Kroger REQUIRE ALL shoppers to have "Background Checks" before being allowed into the stores?
