Subject: Despicable Act... by Kmart

To Whom It May Concern:

As an American and Patriot, I am as sickened as everyone in America by the horrible 'acts of evil' and terror that has befallen our great nation. However, as an American consumer and gun-owner, I was also sickened by the anti-American sentiment that your company displayed by pulling guns and ammunition from your store shelves in retaliation of a despicable act that had nothing to do with guns what-so-ever. The only statement that your company has made to Americans is that you do not care about citizen's ability to protect themselves from terror like what we had yesterday. You have shown your disdain for our God-given, Constitutionally-recognized right to 'keep and bear arms.' I am truly surprised that you did not pull the American flag from your shelves, also. You might as well have done so, because without our right to bear arms, our founding fathers would never have been able to defeat the British two-hundred and twenty-five years ago. If people such as yourself had their way then, we would have had no weapons to defend ourselves and form our great nation. I pose a question to you: Would you have done the same if a military force invaded our soil on the ground? Would you pull your weapons off of your shelves so that Americans could not do anything 'stupid' like defending our lives, families, and country?

You have shown your contempt for gun-owners and American values themselves by slapping us all in the face with continuing to have Rosie O'Donnell as a spokesperson for your company, and by pulling handgun ammunition from your stores months ago. But this latest step, even though temporary, was the last straw. Rosie herself has stated that 'anyone who owns a gun should go to jail,' but I say to you that anyone who would interfere with law-abiding American's rights to protect themselves should be tried for treason and given the maximum penalty allowed by law for that act...
