(21,646 posts)Another non-surprise: It turns out that the Koch Brothers own the sporting goods chain Gander Mountain, which is busily transforming many of its stores in 24 states into Firearms Supercenters. The NY Times quotes a Gander store manager whose store was just transformed to focus on guns: Weve eliminated our fishing and marine supplies and have very little camping except for grilling, smoking and outdoor preparation. Were now a mega-gun store.
Gander Mountains executive vice president of marketing is also quoted as saying about their new gun- focused direction: We decided we need to get serious about one area of business, We are really serious, said Uline. That is a platform that will live going forward. Most of the states where Gander Mt. does business now have liberalized self-defense legislation in place. Gander stores are also a prime source for what their website terms tactical gear.<2013
