Man, I sure could use a coffee after this...
A growing grassroots movement across the United States is seeing public meetings of armed citizens gathering together just to prove their right to gather in public with weapons. I'm sure many Canadians are appalled by the very thought, but there really isn't anything wrong with a bunch of people standing around in a park with holsters on their hips. What's provoked the controversy has been the increasing number of these meetings that are occurring in those shrines to urban leftism — Starbucks coffee shops.
Symbols matter in politics. Rightly or wrongly, Starbucks coffee shops have indeed become synonymous with lefty, latte-swilling urbanites. While plenty of right-wingers and apolitical types enjoy getting their caffeine fix there, too, there's enough truth to the perception to have made Starbucks the location of choice for those Americans eager to flaunt their Second Amendment rights.
