While I can't seem to locate it to copy and paste here WEAU.com tells us:
In a posting on its Facebook page, Gander Mountain says it's been a longtime partner of the NRA, but that its customers are diverse and have varied interests, so it established a policy recently which prohibits it from hosting events on behalf of political causes or candidates.We understand. You just want to sell rope.
You corporate Quislings can try to hide from politics, but that doesn't mean politics won't find you. Do you know nothing about grassroots vs. AstroTurf? Do your own sales records not show you that your "diverse" customers are buying guns and ammo in record numbers? Do you truly think the unreconstructed Occupiers/domestic enemies who make up the "Wisconsin Anti-Violence Effort" are the ones guaranteeing your bottom line, as opposed to being environmentalcases who would ban all "blood sports" and relegate much of the wilderness off limits even to the bear bells crowd? When they're not raiding animal labs or pooping on cop cars?
For people who deal with hunters and the wild, you'd think you know that jackals don't spare those who appear weak. They target them.
Don't expect those who believe like me to take a stand when Brady/VPC/ CSGV circles you and moves in for being "gun violence profiteers" selling semiautomatic handguns and "assault rifles", or when PETA tells their fellow human-haters how you abet untold animal murders in the name of corporate greed!
Now that you've voluntarily separated yourselves from the pack, you've separated yourself from its protection, and you'll never be more vulnerable.
