Re: Academy, You're Fired!

Letter posted to the Academy site today by me:

This will not be one of those - I do respect your right to run your business as you please, but I am compelled to express my disappointment with your decision.

Gun-control supporters have mis-characterized this sporting rifle in the media, and is working to change public opinion on one of the most popular rifles in the US. Their goal, of course, is to ban this rifle completely (and they may succeed at this), and ultimately, they would ban all guns if possible.

By standing together as a unified block, gun owners and suppliers can help influence our lawmakers to make the right decisions, but when a company the size of yours does what you did, you become additional ammo for those who wish to see our 2nd Amendment rights rolled back even further.

As I said in my opening, I am disappointed that you made this decision. This shameful act will have longer-reaching impacts for our country than you can believe. I am just one customer, and the loss of my business will not be a blip in your earnings statement. Regardless of the insignificance of my financial impact on your corporation, however, I will not see the inside of your stores again until you publicly renounce this decision - and I am shall encourage all who I know to do the same.

Thank you for taking the time to read this fully, and I hope you make the right decision going forward.
