WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) - Gun control advocates, including one of the survivors of the Parkland, Florida, school shooting and the parents of one of the victims, are marching 50 miles (80 kilometers) across Massachusetts this week to the headquarters of gun manufacturer Smith & Wesson as part of a youth-led push for stricter gun laws.

Couldn’t they have just pulled their Volvos and Priuses into the parking lot like a normal person?

I am surprised that Smith and Wesson is still in MA.
Most of the gun manufacturers have moved out of the northeast where they started and moved to free states.

Uh, careful with the Volvo talk. Mrs. Rktman has an S80 2007 with the 4.4L DOHC V-8. Nice car. 😬

Maybe this will provide an incentive to leave after all.

Smith & Wesson?

You mean “American Outdoor Brands Corporation”?

I can’t bring myself to think of buying from them since that chickenshot move.

***marching 50 miles***

The Kennedys were doing this back in the early 1960s to get people to exercise more. They often claimed they did 50 miles in a day.

I bet you that like the typical Soros organized ‘march’...

They will walk a quarter mile from the media cameras at the start, Hop on the buses.....,

which will make a stop for another photo-op about halfway, then again walk a quarter mile from the media pool, hop on the buses....

which will then take them to about a quarter mile from S&W HQ, where they will again disembark and march ‘triumphantly’ into the arms of the media crew that has been pre-positioned there.

I was in high school in the 60s and remember well when JFK suggested that Americans hike 50 miles. He also encouraged High School kids to exercise more, like riding bikes.

He also had a competition for kids. It included the 600 yard run walk, 50 yard dash, shuttle run, etc. I scored 100th percentile on every event except the 50. I think the timing may have been off as that was my best event.

Kennedy was not all bad, just mostly bad.

I had a problem with a Smith & Wesson model 22A. It was actually made without an extractor. Fired 3 shots before it jammed. Their customer service was extraordinarily good. I had it back, fixed within a week.

March in Chicago. That’s where the deaths are taking place.

Many people use their weapons to defend themselves.

Deal with it.

Smith & Wesson is stupid to remain in a state that is so hostile to them. I refuse to buy one because I don’t want to support Massachusetts in any way.
