Predictable drivel of replies bang on cue, except warpcow.
Angry? No. Outspoken? Probably. Speak my mind? Absolutely. Member of the NRA? Pfffff.
List every moral issue? My example was specific to the subject matter discussed. Want to make a difference? Go petition the NRA directly if it bothers you that much. Let’s be honest, if cycling related brands weren’t involved, you wouldn’t be giving it anywhere close to same amount of attention.
Boycott the government? You pay taxes. Don’t then. Sure, you’ll get into shit load of trouble for it but you’re passionate about this cause, right? (Cue more predictable replies). I mean, the government selling arms to other countries that will absolutely be used to kill people is a massive deal and well worth being fined and potentially imprisioned for. No? Perhaps a more convenient cause like the one being discussed is more to your liking as involves by association a couple of brands that relate to your hobby. (Cue I must be pro gun replies).
The US gun law as a whole is crazy, no doubt, and needs addressing but a boycott of a couple of cycling brands is not a long term answer. Having spent time around guns, both over there and the UK, the attitudes of the average gun owner are very different. The problem in the US is the right to bare arms and while that remains, you will always be on the back foot on gun related issues. The likes of the NRA can happily feed off of this right, ignorance and paranoia and the situation escalates further.
