QUISLING ALERT!

This from the Boulder Daily Camera:
LAFAYETTE -- "No regrets." That's how Jax Mercantile President Jim Quinlan feels three weeks after making a controversial decision to stop selling assault rifles and high-capacity magazines throughout his outdoor gear retail chain, including the store in Lafayette. He doesn't deny that a fair number of customers were angry enough that they pledged never to shop Jax again, but Quinlan said the bulk of the reaction he has received has been from those applauding the stand he took in the wake of the tragedy in Newtown, Conn. The killer in the Dec. 14 Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooting that left 26 people dead -- 20 of them students -- used a Bushmaster .223-caliber AR-15 rifle, classified by the federal government as an assault weapon. Until mid-December, Jax sold the popular AR-15 model rifle. The chain also no longer sells magazines that can hold more than 10 rounds.
So basically this...gentleman...Quinlan thinks we're all to blame for a psychopath? I strongly suggest that we avoid this man's stores like the plague. Jax Mercantile has in the past given gift certificates to matches as prizes--I even won one. Here is my deal...if you are a match director, DO NOT deal with this man! Your shooters and your other sponsors deserve better than a gift certificate from this quisling. I suggest if you have such a gift certificate, it makes excellent toilet paper!

Please feel free to let me know what companies are still being sold in Mr. Quinlan's stores so I can speak to them directly and very personally at SHOT! Jax is a small, local operation...he deserves to fail. Let's help him!

    Don't forget about Dick's Sporting Goods. They even cancelled a prepaid order that a friend of mine made with them for two AR's. They refunded what he paid which clearly is not enough for him to buy another AR now that prices have gon through the roof.

    My understanding is they are disbanding their army surplus department also. I'll pop in there and take a look at one of their stores.

  3. Michael, I'm afraid it isn't just one. I've blogged about Tactical Arms Manufacturer, Inc., which is local to me. This guy is calling for magazine restrictions.

    Kind of hard when we're being attacked by our own people.

  4. I like the way the French dealt with quislings...strip them naked, shave their heads and shove their sorry asses into the street to be used and abused by anyone with a strong stomach...

    If we survive this fight, payback is going to be...harsh...
