To be clear, I wholeheartedly support those companies who are joining the LEO/Gov't boycotts in places where regular civilians are being disarmed. I also have a "slow burn" on for those companies (REMINGTON) who are acting like nothing is wrong. Because of that I'd LOVE to see a HUGE boycott of certain companies (Remington), however I also try to consider the law of unintended consequences and the following thoughts have popped into my head.
1) Do you think that non-LEO/Government boycotts cause enough financial stress to get the attention of huge gov't contract companies like Remington?
2) Can we boycott without harming the local gunshop? For example, buy the stock that the gunshop has already paid for, but let said gunshop know that you won't be purchasing any more of company "X"'s products so they shouldn't put that into overhead unless they want it to just sit and gather dust.
3) If we are powerful enough to affect things via a boycott, are we doing the anti-rights folks work for them by inhibiting pro-gun companies?
4) If we did manage to seriously impact someone like Remington, are there other small, hungry, companies in the wings willing and ready to fill in the void on a more Constitutionally conscious basis?
Just some food for thought and I look forward to seeing what the rest of you think.
