Who are you boycotting?

[ZCORR Jay]

Can I boycott the IRS?

 

[jon_in_wv]

Target-for their refusal to donate to veterans programs, but yet have plenty of time to donate money to gay rights and the such. Haven't been in there since I walked out the door on theyre HR manager two years ago. Worst place to work...ever...ever.

This one is false. Target does donate to veterans programs, quite a lot of money as a matter of fact.

Additionally, Target does not allow the Salvation Army to solicite in front of the businesses. The Salvation Army spends a lot of those donations on gun control lobbying efforts so +1 for Target. I don't give the Salvation Army a dime. I also don't buy Levis.

Silly Mis-information....Salvation Army does NOT support gun control,they are a christian organization and that's why they were not allowed to continue ringing their bells in front of target.

They are in support of reducing the nations supplys of NUCLEAR weapons...
they take NO stance on civillian arms ownership they are anti-gay and anti-abortion and thats why they can not ring thier bells in front of Target. Target is the one to be boycotted

Don't you hate it when people take a Lie and state it as pure fact?

I'm suprised no one has brought up AARP. A major contributor of handgun contol inc.

I switched my Mom to AMAC. I also convinced a large insurance broker that he should check AMAC out as an alternative to provide folks insurance vs. AARP. In AZ, as soon as he bring up the AARP insurance, people here scoff and complain about their politics. He was glad he didn't need to go into that anymore.

Two wrongs still don't make it right.
Target doesn't allow the Salvation Army to set up in front of their stores NOT BECAUSE they are a "Christian organization", but because Target has a no solicitation policy at it's stores. That policy INCLUDES EVERYONE.

BTW Target donates $$$$$ directly to the Salvation Army every year. Lot of $$$$.

I am supporting these folks with our dollars...

Thanks for putting me in my place although they do allow schools to do fundraisers in front of the store,and girl scouts to set up tables in front of the store..in my neck of the woods that is...

Really? Wow, I'm like 4 months away from being eligible for that group. May have to reconsider that----and work on both my gun collection and my punk rock catalogue......

I boycott BP/Amaco, Citgo and Exxon/Mobile. Two for lack of hand slaps after massive oil spills that could have been avoided had their own proper procedures been followed and the third due to Chavez's asshat-edness.

Gun vs non-gun, not so big a deal. Concealed means consealed. I work at a company that has banned possesion in the offices but allows them to be left locked in cars which is not ideal but they do pay me well enough that I can enjoy my trigger time. I'm working slowly to increase awareness; I hope to have a defensive shooting league team here within the next few years.

Hey Erik..Whats the liberal gun club?
I also boycott Time warner,7-11 and ATT for their strong anti gun stances

 

[Mike1234567]

I'm boycotting all crappy processed foods that are full of... crap.

 

[ErikO]

Just a RTKB club without "right-wingnuts". We're a "bit-left-of-center-wingnuts" group for armed Liberals, an alternate to NRA-ILA. http://theliberalgunclub.com

For the record, there are more armed Liberals than most would think and many more than Antis want to consider.

 

[Yo Mama]

Either way, Eric we're glad to have you.

Winchester ammo.

Why?

Not for me but i applaud you nonetheless

Can I boycott the IRS?

Of course. But you'll go to jail and/or lose all or much of what you own.

 

[Inebriated]

I'm also boycotting Winchester.

I don't like how they're willing to put their name on anything.

I'm also not doing anything paintball related, as that sport is killing itself with high prices, and I'm not giving them that.

And Gibson guitars. I'm boycotting them because their CEO is a complete ******bag when it comes to sales.

I refuse to buy anything from Apple until Steve Jobs is dead. I cannot stand that man. Oh, let's walk out on stage in our jeans, turtle neck, sport coat, and white sneakers and pretend we're changing the world with a phone that now has a low level form of multitasking. Ass.


Most of these are just personal annoyances that lead me to not want their products... not exactly a boycott in the sense that I think I'm making a difference.

 

[SHOOOTER1]

most of the ones everyone mentioned plus sprint gives money to the anti's - but gee that would mess up to many peoples cells - also still won't and never will own a smith & wesson for giving in to the clinton deal when all others held their ground. (from the threads here most people forgot that one).

 

[ErikO]

Actually, I've been a member here longer than the LGC.

I forgot to add Ruger to my list, as Sr helped frame the HCM ban. I guess when you don't have the ability to make mags larger than 10 rnds for your rifles without them jamming up there is no reason for your competition to do so until you get the bugs out...

 

[TIMC]

I'm boycotting all the manufactures of express rifles until the make one I can afford!

 

[macadore]

I'm boycotting Mexico. I used to vacation there on a regular basis. I won't be back until Mexico cleans up its act.

The Salvation Army DOES use it funds to lobby congress for stricter gun control laws. The fact it doesn't appear on its website or the childish way you choose to discount it doesn't change the fact it is true nor does it make your claim that Target won't let them solicit because they are a "christian organazation" any more true. Sorry.

Umm... Mexico's "act" is coming north. So, it seems you may have to boycott southern states (move from TX). Or... stay here to help us prevent "act 2".

 

[Nico Testosteros]

I boycott Dominos Pizza and ChickFilA.
