This is what I just sent. Let's load them up with how we feel.

Bowing to a vocal minority opinion concerning the dropping of brands linked to U.S. gunmaker Vista Outdoors.


As a U.S. Citizen residing as a Permanent Resident in Canada, I can tell you the issue is not firearms. It is a social issue within the USA and is being exploited by a minority of anti's.


I and numerous people in Canada feel this is short sightedness on your part and will avoid giving business to your stores.


True North Strong and FREE seems to not be park of your business model.

I'll be sending a message as well

I just wrote them a letter of disappointment as well - included a picture of my membership card cut into 3 pieces. Too bad, I liked their store but their decision cost them my business.

Don't just cut your membership up, rescind it.

Might want to spell check that. Also they probably wont know what anti means

Thanks suburbboy,
I did just do that now too.
The crappy part of all this is that this is only going to affect people (employees) at places like Giro and Camelback and have no affect on Policy Change in the USA - poorly thought out, knee jerk reaction.

So what word is not working for you?

[Stroodle]

last line I suspect - should be 'part' not 'park'

Thanks I was looking for that last night. Now I just need printer ink and will be emailing it off along with an explanation that a politically motivated boycott against a manufacture producing a "similar" small caliber semi-automatic rifle to the one used in a tragedy does not sit with me as a hunter, a Canadian or a rational person who recognizes such a campaign against a small caliber semi-automatic rifle popularized in the media, Hollywood and video games sets precedent for future campaigns against similar and larger caliber rifles commonly used for hunting or handguns used for sport shooting in Canada. Simply put, I can not support an organization engaging erratic emotionally charged political posturing or entertain the idea that boycotting a manufacture when their product is misused will do anything to reduce the amount, root cause or means of violence.

Guess I need a grammar checker or better typing skills

Thanks
