Software Maker Salesforce Tells Gun Retailers to Stop Selling AR-15s

Not *just* AR-15s.

Salesforce’s “Acceptable Use Policy” goes beyond a ban on AR-15s, to include any semiautomatic firearms “that have the capacity to accept a detachable magazine and any of the following: thumbhole stock, folding or telescoping stock, grenade launcher or flare launcher, flash or sound suppressor, forward pistol grip, pistol grip (in the case of a rifle) or second pistol grip (in the case of a pistol), [and/or] barrel shroud.”

The policy also makes clear that gun retailers cannot sell “high capacity” magazines if they want to use Salesforce software.

The “deplatforming/depersoning” of anyone – or anything – to the right of Stalin continues. So if you use “Salesforce” products, even if you’re not actually int he firearms industry, you’d probably be well advised to start looking for alternates. Because if you or your business aren’t sufficiently woke, they might shut you off at a moments notice.

I understand that there was once an age when businesses wanted your businesses, whoever you were. It’s a business model that I still ascribe to; I honestly don’t care if you’re left, right or indifferent, I want you to buy my stuff. But then, I guess I’m old fashioned.

I certainly wouldn’t fit in in Hollywood. For example:

Olivia Wilde Told Trump Supporters Not to Watch Her Film and Now It’s Flopping

In contrast: hate me all you want. Buy my stuff.
