If I stopped spending money with every org that was anti 2A I would not be able to shop. I just have to choose my battles. I live 2 miles from an REI and I typically only buy on sale. I use their credit card so I get that cash back as well.
I know what you are saying but the reality is my state government is waaaaaaay more detrimental to my 2A rights than REI. ( Ralph Northam, Tim Kaine, et al VA ).
Me... me personally, not shopping at REI is not going to tip the scales. You are not going to find Sawyer water filtration at these prices unless you really have a close watch out.
I get where they are coming from. I take advantage of their sales. No way they are making money on me. Free shipping to store for pickup. I'm probably costing them money.
Rather than reconsider, I feel that I have pre-considered. It's not a perfect situation but for me the way I play it, it's not bad. An REI boycott is a failure out of the gate imo.
It would be interesting to have a figure from this forum that feel the love from the NRA. I posted a couple polls at elections and only 85% would vote party line. Two varied polls. Same results.2nd Amendment
REI ended a business relationship with a supplier due to that company’s ties to the National Rifle Association. Accessed 03/02/18.
I would almost bet the NRA couldn't pull 40%. If true that would would mean 60% were in line with REI with respect to the NRA.
This is not an REI issue as i see it. It is a failure of the teacher to gather and correctly educate those that gravitate to that REI segment of society. Unlike Dicks, REI has never been 2A oriented. They never sold guns. Hikers, campers, at least some do consider being armed.
Dick's --- no way, never again. REI, no different than a friend that happens to be a Dem voter.
