What your favorite bike Brands have to do with the gun industry
Where to begin? In 2018, after the Parkland Shooting, several retailers and cyclists boycotted the products of Giro, Bell, CamelBak and Blackburn.
Their parent company Vista Outdoor was at that point America's largest manufacturer of ammunition but also owning gun-making companys such as Stevens firearms and Savage Arms. The latter listed semi-automatic weapons for sale. Vista Outdoor was an active supporter of the NRA, also having one of the largest booths at the 2018 National Rifle Association convention.
How much of that has changed since then? Well, let’s start: they are still attending the NRA convention this year and presenting the products of their brands Butler Creek, RCBS, Champion and Hoppe’s.
Vista’s CEO Chris Metz promised a continued support for the NRA and Second Amendment in a 2019 interview with the American Rifleman:
AR: Last May when we spoke, you identified yourself and Vista as “ardent supporters of the Second Amendment.” Does that change at all or change how Vista will support NRA and pro-gun advocacy in general?
Metz: No, not one bit. If we’re not the largest industry supporter of the NRA we’re certainly one of the top and that will continue to remain the case. We own more than a dozen leading brands, all dedicated to Second Amendment supporters. It’s the crux of who we are and what we represent. You’ll see that support continue, even more so.
After the public pressure and retailer backlash, Vista Outdoors has sold their controversial guns division by parting with Savage and Stevens Firearms.
However, among other ammunition brands, they still own Federal Premium Ammunition, which sponsored NRA TV until its production stop in 2019.
Jason Vanderbrink, part of Vista’s Executive Team is a member on the Board of Governors of the NSSF, which was referenced as the “NRA’s smaller, highly effective cousin”.
Blackhawk, another brand under the Vista umbrella, advertises a “Father's Day Exclusive Overt Gun Belt Holster Kit” displaying father and son sitting together with a gun in the beforementioned hip holster.
Soooo, I am not a fan.

Big Thanks to
Tim and Björn, Amyra Radwan for their support. Also to the local KANDIE Gang for inspiring me to research the Vista Brand and its connection to the gun industry, as well as providing so many useful tips.
