Giro, Bell, Camelbak, Copilot and more are facing a consumer boycott because they are owned by Vista Outdoor, a supporter of the National Rifle Association.
In the wake of the Florida school shooting, US bike advocate Aaron Naparstek is calling for a boycott of Giro, Bell, Camelbak, CoPilot and other bike brands owned by Vista Outdoor, one of America's largest ammunition makers. This $3bn company is also a corporate supporter of the gun lobby’s mouthpiece, the National Rifle Association, he said.

"The same company that manufactures your CoPilot rear-rack child bicycle safety seat also produces the SavageArms MSR 15 Patrol assault rife," tweeted Naparstek last night.

BERKELEY HEIGHTS, NJ - Gov. Livingston High School and Columbia Middle School went into shelter in place and lock down following a false report of a threat.

Superintendent of schools Judy Rattner confirmed that the threat involved a school district in New Mexico and the Berkeley Heights school district is safe. "The student that initiated the threat is currently in custody and all of our students are safe," said Rattner.

She reminded the parents, "please, in order to secure and provide safe schools for all of our students, if you see something or hear something of concern, please make sure to report it immediately so that we can continue to maintain the safety of our buildings."

When I dropped off my daughter to school, a nagging thought crossed my mind- hope she stays safe..

To #America: Congratulations, you made schools a one-sided war zone with “guns” and a mentally deranged person winning the war, every single time.

To #NRA: Profits trump the lives of citizen. Please provide more donations and less control. You may come up with a crazy like- “if only every child in the school had guns. Not just simple three round guns but “assualt rifles””.

To #social media #facebook #instagram: whats the point of your excessive data collection and fancy analytics when you can’t collude with authorities to raise redflags against deranged kids who pose with multiple knives and guns on their timelines. High time you put your behavioral analytics to appropriate use rather than something as meaningless as tweaking our timelines.

To #teachers: Thank you for protecting our kids and doing the job of the state.

To the #constitution: The pursuit of happiness is a lost battle for the parent of that child who just lost the battle against guns.

To #trump: You will forever remain an a**hole so go and build that wall with all the money the NRA will give you to shut up
