Not a valid argument at all. So is refusing to buy a certain brand of clothing because the company that makes it uses child labor or not buying a lumber from a certain company because they clear cut also ignorant?
I refuse to buy or use anything Smart Parts because of their business practices and I don't like the direction they are pushing paintball to.

And really, I don't care how good it shoots. I wouldn't care if it shot better then any gun in the world. My money not going into their pockets is more important then the benefits of owning one of their products.

Let me ask you this- if a company made a marker you really liked, but their profits funded a radical religious group with known links to terror, would you still buy the marker?
If you don't, are you "ignorant"?

Just goes to show what kind of people use their products.
