The problem for companies like Staples is that America's gun owners are so fed up that they're not in any mood to allow someone any slack for the mistakes of anyone in the corporation. In short, they cannot afford to make the same mistake once.
For example, after the PR fiasco they created a few months back, The Wounded Warrior Project may or may not have succeeded in getting their ducks lined up. But frankly I don't have the time or patience to weed through their layers of dueling press releases to figure out if they're with us, against us, or neutral. Nor should I have to. Simply put, I will not risk supporting ANYONE who does not wholly and without reservation, support the entire Constitution of the United States of America. So while the Wounded Warrior Project may or may not be doing a fine job supporting the needs of our disabled veterans, they're going to have to do it without my money. There are other channels I can use to support those veterans.
And now Staples is on the list as well. How long will they be on my list? I'm still boycotting Levi Straus and that's been a while.
Companies like Staples are just like the rest of Corporate America; they have interlocking directorates and conduct their financial affairs via banks who likewise have interlocking directorates. When all of corporate America pursues identical policies that attack our liberty, whether at once or over time, this is NOT coincidence. Ample proof shows this is collusion.
And like Blockbuster Video (RIP), Hollywood & major theater chains, Levi Strauss, WWP and others, once I boycott 'em, that boycott is for life. This may limit shopping choices, but there are so many choices out there that these limits are illusory at best.
When gun owners represent one third of the population of this country, treading on them is the last mistake you'll ever make as long as we stand united in activism and exercise our politico-economic power. I would like to think that the death of Blockbuster was ultimately the result of their unbending zero tolerance for gun rights in their stores. They had expanded into DVD and online rental as companies like Netflix and Redbox started eroding their market dominance, but the straw that I believe broke their back was losing 25 to 30% of their customer base over the gun issue. When customers leave & go elsewhere, if they find an alternative that they like, they will share their likes by word of mouth (or now, social networking online). That grows the competitor at the same time as it destroys a customer base when a boycott is effectively employed, and THAT is the free market in action.
I marvel at the fact that nowadays so many corporate empty suits have either forgotten or never learned the dictum; "the customer is always right". Even after being taken to the economic woodshed, these naked emperors of commerce still don't get it...
Gun owners need to do the same thing to the propaganda machines that fuel the enemies of liberty. Don't watch the MSM on TV, get your news online. Don't buy a movie ticket or DVD, deprive the libtard entertainment industry of the income from your interest in the sometimes good product they produce. Yes, I mean 'pirate video' as an act of civil disobedience. There is a reason why the RIAA & Hollywood attack pirate downloading from the internet, it steals their profits, and rightfully so. We can bankrupt them. On the other hand, I highly encourage patriots to spend their money at the theatre or on a DVD if the filmmakers & actors are right-thinking Americans (like Clint Eastwood). If one third of the country pirated everything that the Hollywood libtards produced and paid full price for stuff that the few conservatives & constitutionalists in media made, this would break the stranglehold that the collectivists have in Hollywood. At the very least, we destroy the ability of collectivists in media to use their bully pulpit to indoctrinate and influence the younger generations.

"Can't change the rules, but in the future will be nice," eh? I already sent 'em my promise never to buy from them again regardless.
Sorry Staples, I can't change the rules either.
