I had seen all of these at other sources. I did leave a reply to one person that replied about REI. It is the same one I have given to several other people and to similar posts.
An REI member is a stockholder in the corporation. Do not give up your membership. Cast your vote in the stockholders' annual meetings. Vote out those that are supporting and promoting forced Civilian Disarmament, and elect those that support it and will take the company toward that goal.
Just my opinion.
