Guys:
Yes -- this time there is no hype or lying. REI has always been liberal but aside from pushing environmental issues, they have stayed out of divisive social issues.
REI claims they had a on line petition of 18,000 demanding they make some sort of anti gun statement and so they did. They call for 'common sense' gun control measures, once again not saying what these measures should be. Typical leftist and liberal, make a statement that sounds good but do not say what it entails. That's because if they ever said what it entails, most Americans would reject their ideas.
Have been a Co Op member for about ten years now.
They have a theme for 'Black Friday'. 'Opt Out', they call it, and they close their doors that day and encourage everyone to enjoy the outdoors instead of shopping malls or internet shopping. Personally, I have been doing this exact thing for many years before REI coined their slogan.
Guess I will now 'Opt Out' of REI and I encourage anyone else who is a gun owner and REI Co Op member to do the same. I will not do business with them again, no matter their cost.
