Target Gets Twitter Heat From Gun Control Group

Moms Demand Action jumps on provocative pics by 'Open Carry' org

Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, a Michael Bloomberg-backed organization in favor of more gun control, is applying notable pressure on Target via Twitter this evening. The activist group is drawing attention to an open-carry gun policy that the retail giant evidently has in place for locations in states where such an action is legal. 

It's a response to pictures of men and women carrying firearms in Dallas-area Target stores (photos below) that have surfaced on social media, apparently posted by members of Open Carry Texas and similar groups, which even the National Rifle Association has opposed in recent days.
