2. Gun Control

3. National

4. Starbucks seeks to keep guns out of its coffee shop

5. It is important to families/ individuals because it concerns their safety.

6. I believe that this is a good step towards safety. When you think about all the recent shootings it's a feeling of security. Although many may say guns are for their safety as well. Why should we have to carry around a gun to feel safe? It shouldn't be that way. We are suppose to feel safe in our country. I look at it as why would you bring a gun to starbucks anyways? They don't want guns inside but they won't tell people to leave or post signs up. That doesn't make any sense to me. How will people know that guns aren't allowed if there are no signs posted? If they are even considering compliance that is a reason for them to post signs. Even though some people are in states that allow them to carry guns I don't think people just need to bring one into starbucks or any family environment. I believe if kids start seeing everyone carrying around guns they will get even more curious and may even end up hurting themselves. They say that customers aren't happy with seeing guns in their stores and they say that it shouldn't be apart of the starbucks experience yet, they don't post signs to have people acknowledge that it is a family environment and that they want everyone to feel safe and comfortable.
