Any chance we can we can add a permanent thread to the top that lists boycott suggestions?
I know we are all familiar with Dicks Sporting goods, and Cheaper than Dirt. I've added Discovery Channel to my list for cancelling two shows already. Would be nice so people can also know locally who to avoid. |

Businesses like Wal-Mart and Academy are not in business to be friends of the gun crowd. They are there to make the most profits possible from every crowd.
They have looked at the situation and have decided that they will fair better if they distance themselves from gun sales at this moment. Its really that simple. |

How about a forum for it where we can say what they are guilty of to be banned, then the world would know. Perhaps we could add supporters of the 2A as well and call the forum "The good,The Bad and The Ugly". Ugly could be stores sighted with signage for consideration weather it's private or corporate. |

We might be better off by boycotting products advertisers from specific programs. Example: "Dear company that advertises on Piers Morgan's whine fest on CNN, I have always enjoyed your product, but since I cannot support Mr Morgan's anti-American propaganda, I will no-longer purchase your product as long as your company supports him. Sincerely, Me" YMMV

Walmart is on good terms with me. I don;t think they stopped selling ARs. Last I heard, they had sold out due to demand.
Dick's can eat their name. Didn't know Discovery was up to three. I never watched Ted's show, but it's the principle. I am sure there will be more to come, and good point on the sponsers. |

By contrast, Dick’s Sporting Goods Inc. (DKS) suspended sales of similar guns at its more than 500 stores." Wal-mart is selling guns fast. |
