Hunters say they're boycotting Colo. over gun laws

[wARmachine15]

Because if hunters (or any 2A people) are also skiers they would boycott ski season as well. And if the Dems start losing tax revenue at huge levels they will sell out their principles in a heart beat especially if their own constituents who might be affected by boycotts are pressuring them too.

Holy crap this is too tough here. Really simple stuff. It's the totality of the circumstances not one individual thing which is why you're not picking up the skier analogy.

You can be right, giving up on demonstrating the big picture to small picture thinkers.

Well, hunters are also drivers, they eat, they shop, they pay property taxes here, they put their kids in schools here. Along the same lines we should boycott those things too. Leave the state all together. Let the liberals have it. That will teach them a lesson....reminds me of new York or California. Those states are just begging for conservatives to come back to rescue them.

Not sure I can find a bigger canvas than that for you big picture thinkers....

This all about fulfilling the liberal prophecy, and that is we lack the stomach to make the sacrifices in order make others take notice, no matter how small. Too many are not willing to skip a year of hunting in this state in order to make a political statement. This is why the liberals are having such luck in pushing their agenda. They'll boycott a business or support one that supports their agenda. They'll camp out for months and not work in our parks. We simply are too weak to mount boycotts and protests more than a few weeks. I'm going to get flamed, but hey the truth hurts. In 2014, we're all going to roll over and re-elect the same idiots who did this because we are too afraid to walk the walk.

Not boycotting is the same as voting D? The Democrats run on a platform of hurting the state, and hurting the country, and spending money they don't have. It doesn't matter if the state losses money, if they never had a regard for how much money the state had in the first place.

Oh, I get it now. I am too much of a pussy to boycott the firearms industry; the very industry I want to save.

WTF!?

Who the hell came up with this idea anyway? If I felt skiers were being picked on, would it make any sense at all to boycott the ski industry?
Why don't you pick a liberal industry to boycott instead of the one you say you want to save?
Personally, I boycott gay bars. I expect them to all go out of business soon.

They boycott things they do not like. I like hunting. I like guns. I like fishing. I like the pro gun bars with dead animals in them. Why in the hell would I boycott them, and go camp in a park and watch the very things I like fail?

Tags will be easier, but I see the cost going up.

Hey, the boycott thing worked back east when the largest sports exhibition said they wouldn't be allowing Modern sporting rifles (ar types) to be displayed, all the vendors and sportsmen pulled out and the community lost 44M.

This will only matter if it hurts a D company who has friends at the state level. Then we can expect some changes.
