It's the MidwayUSA "We want to run you off" campaign!!

It's too bad that, all to often, people that age are totally anchored to the past and can't cope with the changes that have come since.

The best thing the NRA could ever do, to prove that they still matter, is create a website that makes it easy to show what they did every year for the last 50 years, and what they plan to do for the next 50.

Without referencing lobbying.

Now that's a bit silly, isn't it? The tweet is cringe as hell, but come on. Be serious. To try and take down MidwayUSA over this utterly retarded.

^^^^ How about you do you and I will spend my money as I choose.
I choose not to support the NRA because of WL and the rest of the crooks that are enjoying the NRA funds.

My small amount won’t make a dent in Midways business but I have the satisfaction of not supporting them.

"take down MidwayUSA"? If you want to talk about "retarded" you should start with your own statement.

Why should anyone who objects to Larry Potter kissing LaPierre's corrupt, self-serving ass give their business to Midway? Is there some obligation to do so? Explain this to me.

Midway isn't going anywhere and you know it. No one is "taking down" Midway.

Allowing consumers to make informed decisions is never wrong and you can look at the comments on that tweet and get an idea of the general sentiment towards Potter's bad judgement.

You might want to get your priorities in order and consider refraining from supporting those who aid our enemies. Traitors and betrayers like LaPierre are the worst, because they pretend to be our allies, when they are nothing of the sort.

Probably won't miss un-clicking that stupid "round up" button at the check-out page on their site...

WTF? Does old Wayne have some dirt on Larry too?
I despise Wayne as much as that snake Hillary.

I haven't had a need to buy anything in YEARS (yes...I took Para's advice and I am that well stocked), but apparently Larry and Brenda don't want my business in the future. It's not like there are hundreds of other online establishment from where to buy my 2nd Amendment materials. Just sayin'.....

I haven't purchased anything from them in years; I get my ammo from other vendors, I have never bought a gun from them, etc. I think the last thing a I got from them was a rifle case on sale, maybe 10 years ago.

Yes, oblivious, completely out of touch with their customers.

First of all, I want all members to cease- now and forever- this "they must have dirt on so-and-so". I don't want to read this stuff in this forum, ever again. It's silly and I'm not having it here.

Secondly, if you want to tell us how much you dislike Hillary Clinton, start a thread. There's no reason to shoehorn that stuff into this thread.

Larry's always kind of been on his own planet, not real surprising.

Midway went from first choice for decades to dead last choice with me long ago.

Midway was a big proponent of the "round up for the NRA" contribution when you checked out your order. So, in an indirect way, Potterfield was funding WLPs deluxe lifestyle.

I wonder if they are hearing any backlash on their clueless post.

There is a lot of backlash, replies on their Twitter/X post.

Midway has the same picture and post on their Facebook account and all the replies I see are negative.
