Pottery Barn: largest home furnishing supporter of Gun Lobby

According to California regional NRA spokesman Ben Ternis, Pottery Barn, the California based home furnishings retail giant is "very active" in supporting the right for Americans to bear arms. "They have given large sums of money and volunteer time to help the cause of freedom for the support of the constitutional right to bear arms." said Ternis Monday at a meeting of the Fresno Chamber of Commerce. Ternis continued to describe a situation where the media was consistently overplaying the case against corporate gun supporters and that it was somehow waning. "It's just not true." said Ternis. "You might look at Pottery Barn and see some kind of woodsy, cuddly forest supporting company just because they use wood to make many of their products. But you would be wrong, they are running a business, and guns are good for business in so many obvious ways, but that is not to say that Pottery Bran isn't actually forest supporting, because those two causes are not mutually exclusive." Mr. Ternis did not go on to specify in what ways guns were good for business but did finish with an unprecedented admission by the NRA. "Guns obviously kill people but come on, people may have been knifed on a 7' sectional sofa slipcovered in twill, but does that make it wrong for Pottery barn to continue to make a living or to do what's right for America?" Williams-Sonoma, the parent company of Pottery Barn could not be reached for comment.
