A radio campaign launched by
Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America is urging
Kroger supermarkets to stop allowing consumers to carry guns in its stores. The ads feature recorded phone calls
to real Kroger stores. Paid for by the Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund, the ads are running in the Cincinnati area to coincide with Kroger investor meetings. In the first 60-second ad, a woman
asks if she can bring her new poodle, who has separation anxiety, in the store. The employee says no, citing safety issues. The caller counters by asking how loaded assault weapons are allowed and not
considered safety issues. The Kroger employee has a tough time explaining it.
See it here. In "Scooter," the same caller asks if her child's
scooter is allowed inside, because the kid is attached. The Kroger employee explains liability issues -- and that's when the caller mentions the gun policy. The Kroger employee explains that it's
true, but it's a state law and out of her control.
Listen to it here.
Grey Toronto created the campaign.
