While I agree that VO getting out of cycling and still supporting the NRA is less optimal than if they get the message and change their stance on support for the NRA....however if the former happens that's still a pretty big deal. Being forced to change your business structure because enough people are unhappy and boycotting you is sending a big message.
Fighting an organization like the NRA to get some rationality into the gun control debate is going to be a war not battle. Things will not change overnight or because of one set of actions, but if enough people are willing to keep at it there can be meaningful change.
And ultimately it's better to try and fail than to do nothing.
