Oh hai. Ancillary motherfucker over here ... keen to hear how choosing Sidi shoes, or a Spesh helmet etc hits good people in the externalities more-so than buying from a company that helps finance the NRA?
miro_o-
it is symbolic sure but unrelated (ancillary) to any actual change on the issue. it would however hurt people unrelated to the issue (negative externality). so if the appearance of doing your bit to help things change is more important to you than letting giro employees keep their jobs then carry on, good job.
a good alternative is liking anti-nra posts on facebook or twitter.

Specialized are the wrong choice for a moralistic argument.

sorry boycotting giro is a complete waste of time and has all sorts of negative externalities. if you care about gun control donate/vote for appropriate politicians. all of this other stuff is ancillary.
i mean if giro makes cargo bibs that don't cost, what 275us for the rapha ones? yea i'm going to buy them.
