Let me explain further.
If GM had initiated an anti-gun ad campaign, or supported some anti-second-amendment initiative, then I would say fine. They would be spitting in our faces, not to mention revealing gross hypocrisy, and a boycott would be appropriate.
But that's not what happened. The company was harassed by pathetic, misguided people. Who knows what kinds of threats their management and employees might have received? Under those circumstances, I think you're going off half-cocked (sorry, couldn't resist).
How will it help us if, because of a boycott, GM stops selling guns and supplies, or maybe goes out of business altogether? The more competition there is in the market, the better off we are, so yes, attend a workshop at a new location, but don't add to GM's problems.
I for one do not think it is harsh. If there were threats, they should have been dealt with using the full power of law, not knee jerk reaction!

A gun store that does not support the premier gun rights organization? Come on...
