Seems to be very racist anti labor asswipes.
So what do you think? Should we "glen beck" them?

1. Maybe just a warped sense of humor

The giveaway is the requirement that all workers are registered voters. Like they'd bother checking.

But it's possible that a liberal democrat could work there for a few years, inhaling and generally absorbing lead into the blood and brain, and lose enough IQ points to where Sarah Palin starts sounding intelligent.

:hi:

No, never dealt with them. They don't have 6.5mm bullets in their product line, which is my preferred device for perforating paper.

2. Notice that he isnt moving it -TO - California .

Just close enough he can sell the ammo cheaper .

3. He has many firearms that are not allowed in CA. He'd have to

get rid of them if he moved there.

4. I registered.

I registered on their web site so I could reply to Brad.

5. Didn't see anything racist.

I didn't see anything that related to race, just anti-Obama.

I registered and posted a response.

6. I personally thought the IQ comment was pretty funny.

Nothing particularly racist in that thread though though.

7. How was any of that "anti-labor"? And how would you boycott?

I mean, yes, they are paying minimum wage... but it's not necessarily a skilled job.
As far as I know, employers can choose to not hire somebody for personal reasons like political affiliation.
Is political belief a protected class?

Ammo is in very short supply. Gun parts are in very short supply. Their consumer base is likely mostly republican.
It would be very difficult to boycott such a company that manufactures. It's not like they need sponsors to make money.
They make money from selling a high demand product from raw material to people who politically disagree with you.
Good luck with "glen becking" them.

8. That's easy.

You boycott by not buying their products.

I don't know if I'd call it "anti-labor", but it's pretty shitty to not even give someone a job interview because they vote Democrat or have an Obama sticker on their car.

The simple fact is, though, if someone wants to fire you they are going to fire you for one reason or another. Which is why it's wise not to reveal political or religious leanings at work.

9. I'm thinking that was "humor"

Kind of a tongue in cheek smart ass comment rather than some kind of actual twisted employment policy or hiring practice.

10. I don't doubt for one minute employers factor applicants' personal beliefs into the equation. n/t
