On my way to work listening to 1010 and they reported Groupon was removing all firearm related coupons. The ones I've scene usually involve range time, training, and clays. They cited feedback from customers.

Groupon is pretty much dead anyway. This will just be another nail in their coffin.

Uninstalled their app.

 

"Groupon's cancellation of a promotion for a concealed-handgun training course led one Texas gun shop owner to call for a boycott of the coupon site. Michael Cargill, the owner of Central Texas Gun Works in Austin, said he was blindsided when Groupon informed him that the promotion had been canceled by CEO Andrew Mason.

"I'm asking everyone in the Second Amendment community to boycott Groupon, because the message they're sending is, 'Look, we do not want to support law-abiding citizens taking time out of their schedule to learn the safety surrounding firearms,'" Cargill said."

I unsubscribed them. Their daily emails were getting annoying anyway. I only bought like one deal from them and that was for pizza.

Just unsubscribed now.

App is now gone!

Just deleted the app from my iPhone. I wonder if LivingSocial will follow suit.

App and email unsubscribed, and passed the info onto gun club members.

Complete joke. Lets ban deals that can teach people how to better handle a firearm. Smart, real smart.

I stopped using Groupon like over a year ago... all the offers were terribad.

 

Can't boycott something that's already mostly dead.

Like Star Ledger.

Lol.

I never used it, so I was ahead of all of you guys! Ha!

Unsubscribed today!

Hi

Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us.

We understand that this is a sensitive topic, and that some of our customers may not agree with our choice to pause the promotion of firearm-related deals. Groupon has always aimed to offer a diverse range of products and services to meet the various tastes and interests of our subscribers. However, at this time, enough customers and merchants have voiced their opinions that we believe a hiatus is warranted.

Please note that we have never sold guns, and this hiatus only applies to firearm-related deals including shooting ranges, clay pigeon shooting, and concealed weapons training classes. We have not made a final determination regarding this category -- we are simply taking a break and may reevaluate in the future.

Please let me know if I can help you further.

Regards,

Michelle M
