Why is Seek Outside giving gun control advocate Ryan Busse air time?

[gabenzeke]

What kind of response is anyone hoping for?

Oh, that wasn't me on the podcast?

I was stoned and didn't mean it?

Was thinking the same thing. At this point, probably best to just double down. At least then you can try to sell to the anti 2a market.

You said Constitution in post 55. The comment was “no amendments” and you said there haven’t been any.

See post #58

I’m just shocked that it’s been well over a year since this podcast was posted and I’m the first one to tell rokslide about it.

Since we’re letting this thread continue can we open back the elk shape conversation where the dude admitted to breaking the law?

It somewhat baffling which threads Rokslide allows and which ones get removed.

I’m glad the mods are. I’d be disappointed if they shut it down just because it make a site sponsor look bad.

So far everyone has been more or less well behaved respectful. At least more so than Ryan Busse is on Twitter.

I added quotes from the SO guys for context. nobody can defend what they said.

Probably true.

Even more of a reason to run far far away from anything political when half your customers are “hiker biker” types and the other half hunters.

How about us hunters who hike and bike?

With this and Mystery Ranch becoming a designer fashion brand is disappointing. I think in these times it’s more important than ever to be careful what type of companies to support. Fortunately there’s no shortage of good companies to choose from.

Well I just went on a hike today…

Still a dumb idea to push gun control when you have a large hunter customer base.

Bottom line outside some very niche industries, it’s insane that any company dips their toes in any political charged issue in the 2020’s.

I was reacting to your stereotyping, this type of thing is in the “what’s wrong with Americans” category.

In for memes before closure!! lol

I’m not sure if we will see any damage control. I hate to say it but I wasn’t exactly surprised by any of this. I don’t want to side track this, but I remember their social media during the summer of 2020, and nobody talks to a guy like Busse without knowing exactly who he is.

They were probably surprised it took this long for this to blow up.

This doesn’t follow factual and no speculation.
Others have said they’d like this to stay open. Memes prob aren’t the best idea.

It’s a broad generalization, but everyone knows why field and stream and public lands are two very different market segments.

 

[svivian]

Living in GJ and having gone into SO recently… I’m honestly not surprised by this. Most of the people working there would fall into the hippie style category. I don’t believe their focus is on hunters.

It’s an ignorant generalization. Nothing more, nothing less.

Got two more loaded in the barrel. I’ll leave this one alone and I’ll go visit the other thread, lol

I’ll accept that criticism and apologize. Not trying to get the thread shut down.

No reason to take it down, it’s been civil. deleted some memes as they’re not appropriate here.

 

[BRTreedogs]

No that im defending them

But maybe they live actual real lives and do things on the weekends besides sit on Rokslide?

Just saying.

^^^this. Their quality is top notch and their products are innovative, but they've always given me the liberal+ vibe. I've spent a lot of money with them over the years and appreciate the solid gear. But we're done. I've owned a bunch of the LBO components, a Silex and nest, pack frame and 2 different bags and currently have an Eolus that I really like. It will be my last SO product, but I will continue to use it. Bummer.
