    The thing that infuriates me most is knowing that Mendicino/Trudy/et al are giggling away at how this all looks to joe public - they win either way

    CSAAA is the trade association for the firearms business in Canada. Not dealing with them is hurting mom and pop stores.

    "CSAAA memberships are open to manufacturers, media, associations, business individuals, retailers, distributors and other businesses in the firearm and hunting industry."

    Your argument is with Wes Winkel and the Epps store as operated by Wes. He's the poor schmuck who is now the face of the evil gun business lobby, and this thread is proving there are some very shallow thinkers in the hobby. In my opinion, give Epps a bad google review and vow to never buy from him again. But leave the rest of the industry out of your boycotts.

    The US NRA executive has learned that its membership is not as politically aggressive as they told themselves, but the members invariably vote with their wallets when business outside the industry do them wrong.
    Jean Charest after coming a distant second to Pierre Poilievre. “You deserve a clean slate and the opportunity to unite the membership. ... Only Liberals benefit from a divided (Conservative Party).” Will the malcontents listen?

    Wes strikes me as maybe a little, let's just say "easily led". Could it be that he was manoeuvred into being the figurehead and the fall-guy for this?

    After all, if it comes down to who takes the fallout and whose business tanks as a result...?

    Huh, that's an interesting take. More aggressive and greedy Board members use someone else to take the fall, cover their own ass, let him take the heat, then immedietly resign from the board to show how much they disagree. No way to prove that though and only a "conspiracy" unless someone requests documentation through the ATIP and sees who said what and with whom. Either way, a loss for us all.
