STAPLES INC does not APPROVE of your Constitutional Rights to BEAR ARMS Staples Inc blocks contest access to Maple Creek Gunsmithing WARNING ALERT Stop Staples by keeping your money YOUR CONTEST RULES

Staples Inc. is running a marketing contest to help reward small businesses because according to the giant office supply chain, they’re “big fans of our small business customers because they’re vital to our communities.”
Those who enter the ‘PUSH it Forward’ contest can win one of three $50,000 digital marketing grand prize packages provided the participant explains what that money would do to help his/her business.
Well, Travis Vonseggern and Gill Jackson, the proud owners of Maple Creek Gunsmithing in Fremont, Nebraska, entered the contest.  After all, they’re a small business that serves a local community and they would love to have a $50,000 digital marketing campaign to advertise the work they do: gunsmithing and firearms training, and the products they sell: guns and ammo.
On Wednesday, however, the two men found out that they were disqualified from the contest.  Staples sent them a rejection email that read:

We’re sorry, but your small business entry into the Staples PUSH It Forward Contest has been rejected for the following reason(s): Entry contains content that promotes alcohol, illegal drugs, tobacco, firearms/weapons (or the use of any of the foregoing); promotes any activities that may appear unsafe or dangerous; promotes any particular political agenda or message; is obscene or offensive; or endorses any form of hate or hate group.

The email went on to state that Staples “reserves the right to reject any entry that they deem is not in accordance with the official rules.”
