I could never work for a company that felt the need to add mentions about gun rights to their advertisements. It's fine if you personally support it, but when you bring that attitude into the public face of the company, it's a big red flag about the work environment.

There are no red flags here. We proudly fly the American flag. One in our cafeteria looks to be about 8x15 feet. Our veterans hold an annual Flag Folding Ceremony in honor of Veteran's Day.
Many employees choose to go shooting together, but there is no pressure to participate. It's just a normal all-American activity.
I'm not really "the public face of the company". Notice the lack of a trademarked Pantone color. The official corporate identity would tell you nothing about what our office locations are like. They would however proudly tell you about heat beams to zap people and about gun turrets that aim and fire without human action, so they aren't completely boring.

Uh... I'm sure every paragraph there is a red flag for most peope on HN. I know it is at least for me, and I own guns and was an Eagle Scout.
I really appreciate this nod. Gun rights are a big part of the reason I could never live in the Valley, and though it's a huge part of many people's lives across the country it's not something that you see recognized in recruiting efforts.
