From everything I can find, it is a hoax perpetrated by the NRA. Yeti is a private company, so no public press releases, no sales figures, and certainly no release of any lobbyist hirings.....

From everything I can find, it is a hoax perpetrated by the NRA. For the purposes of this discussion we have to presume that, as the OP alludes, they have hired lobbyists to fight for tightening of firearm regulations. Removing 2A is hyperbole and was never stated - what was said is they "want to take away your 2nd Amendment rights". It doesn't say abolish 2A - it wouldn't require the removal of 2A to 'take away your' rights...they just need to infringe upon them to take them away. Saying you don't believe the NRA because they hire lobbyists while suggesting you do believe Yeti even though - for the purposes of this discussion as it's the entire premise of the OP that we are discussings - we assume they've hired lobbyists....you see how that's intellectually problematic, correct? TimS Show someone how to catch striped bass and they'll be ready to fish anywhere. Show someone where to go striped bass fishing and you'll have a desperate report chaser with loose lips.

TimS Correct. But, I never said I believe Yeti or trust them or get behind them. I am just saying that the attack on Yeti by the NRA and their members, was refuted by Yeti (as I posted their statement earlier) and I can't find anywhere Yeti "want to take away your 2nd amendment rights" Edited October 12, 2018 by KnewBee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said NRA made a claim - and they can’t be trusted because they hired lobbyists - and Yeti refuted that claim and you believe them...even though they apparently hired lobbyists.

There is evidence that the NRA has paid out serious money to lobby our government. Consider the disclosed $$$ WRT the NRA and lack of any info WRT Yeti, I will "lean" toward Yeti being more trustworthy. Money corrupts, biggly. Disclaimer: I ain't an NRA member and I don't own a single Yeti product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfsters Posted October 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 KB If you can find a copy of the NRA’s, April, Shooting Magazine and go to the Legislative Action section; you should find what you have been looking for. I would imagine that all of their publications from that approximate time period would also contain that information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
