Dear Gander Mountain: Kiss my money and my ass goodbye.

Gander Mountain has made untold tens, if not hundreds of millions of dollars from gun-owners, hunters and sportsmen.

To thank us, they crapped on us in Wisconsin.

Worse yet, they crapped all over us in order to appease some stinking bed-wetting anti-gun asshats.

I'm really too pissed off to write a whole lot about this, so I'm going to just post some links for this and be done with it.

But here is the letter from the NRA-ILA:

CHANGE IN VENUE FOR NRA-ILA WORKSHOPS!
Host Venue Caves to Anti-gun Pressure and Cancels

Dear Wisconsin NRA Member:

Anti-gun activists bombarded Gander Mountain with bullying phone calls and emails regarding this week’s planned NRA-ILA Grassroots Workshops, urging them to cancel.

Despite NRA-ILA’s long history of holding Grassroots-Election Workshops at Gander Mountains all over the country, and in Wisconsin, Gander Mountain has caved and canceled NRA-ILA’s Workshops at their Wausau location on Tuesday May 15, and their Eau Claire location on Wednesday May 16.

Despite these efforts to silence NRA-ILA and gun owners in Wisconsin, we have rescheduled these events. It is now MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER to take a stand in support of freedom and Gov. Walker by attending one of these Workshops. Show our opponents we will not be silenced!

We encourage you to join us at these new locations and prove to these anti-gun activists that gun owners in Wisconsin will not be silenced. Now more than ever it is important that you attend one of our FREE workshops and invite every NRA member that you know to attend!

How Gander Mountain could put the whims and interests of radicals who DO NOT SHOP AT THEIR STORES over that of their own longtime loyal and supportive customers is unfathomable.

If you care to contact Gander Mountain and let them know what you think, click on this link.

So sad to hear coming from a outdoors store based in MN. I guess they don't want to be in business anymore.

Them catering to people who don't give them any business is the best comment I've seen about this asinine behavior. Good one.

This is what I sent to G-M

Since you have seen fit to cancel the NRA-ILA workshops in two of your stores, I will never shop with you again. The NRA has stood for our rights for years and yet you cave to some gun haters that have probably never spent a dime in your stores.

I hope the enjoy what little business they will have left.

They'll fold within 36 months and Cabella's will buy their stock and stores.
