I read so much stuff about people boycotting certain arms manufactures for various reason.  I want to know why people boycott certain manufacturers because I want to be an informed consumer. Please tell me the firearms companies that you boycott and why?

my current boycot is with Ruger.  They still have a stupid anti-civilian stance on high-cap mags and folding stocks.  There are rumors of Colt dropping it's somewhat anti-civilian stance, S&W as come around nicely.  Can't think of any others right now.  People may bitch about HK, but that's a whole different debate, and if StyerAUG shows up he'll explain it rather nicely.

I'm currently boycotting Tampa, however this is not firearms-related nor very logical.

not really a manufaturing company, but none the less a major disrtributor of firearms and such. Aim Surplus will never see a dime from me. i dont care if others have had positive dealings with them, they havn't had the experience that i had. absolutely horrible customer service. maybe i caught a guy while he was having a bad day, still enough to lose my business forever!! Oh and Impact Guns. after placing an order during a sale, completing the order and sending my money in (and boy were they quick to respond to my email asking for their mailing address) they wrote me an email telling me i couldn't have the item for the sale price and tried to persuade me from a bushmaster to something else. took a while to get my money refunded. not too big of a deal but i was still disappointed.

i do like firequest.com, they have cool brass knuckles.

Not firearm related but I'm boycotting Sony because of the "rootkit" DRM that they distributed on their CDs recently.

I'm boycotting Pizza Hut because they fired a delivery man here in Indiana after he lawfully shot and killed a would be armed robber. They say it's against their policy to have armed delevery men. Nevermind they have Queen Latifah (or however you spell it) as a spokeslady for their commercials, and she has previously been arrested for illegal weapons possession.

I'd boycott stupid people, but it would mean I'd never leave my house.

Thompson Electronics (GE,RCA,Proscan)

I bought a RCA DVD player back when they still cost $400. It crapped out on me after 9 months. The company refused to do anything for me except to send my unit back (I pay shipping) with a check for $100 and they would send me a REFURBISHED model. I told the guy where to stick it and hung up. They haven't seen a cent from me in almost 10 yrs.
