Would love to hear this guy’s “logic”.

The company is much better off without him than to keep on getting the bad publicity.

[Jackson57]

Daaaaaayyyyyuuuummmm ... just damn. He better put some ice on that.

[nodumbblonde]

Praise the Lord and pass the ammo!

[Niteranger68]

He should have learned from Zumbo. Gun owners strike quickly!

[justlurking]

This may be nothing but a face-saving move.

Dan Cooper is no longer CEO, but who actually owns the company? If he is a significant shareholder, he will continue to benefit from the success of the company.

Why in the world would a gun maker back Obama? That’s really like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders.

[DesertRhino]

Takes more than this,,, i want to see some positive action supporting the 2nd amendment,,,

This is the weasel actions of elitist types who will be glad to ban pistols and assault rifles and 50 cal rifles as long as they can keep their mahogany stocked 5000 dollar rich guy toy.

The gun banners are all about divide and conquer,, guys like these help them as much as Sarah Brady,,, 2nd amendment supporter my A**.

He said what he did and that was plausible and defensible to most. The USA article was a spin , such as that of Obama where he said he never gave a dime to ACORN. He gave 800k during the primaries. Cooper “says” he gave coin to defeat Hillary as he felt the GOP could beat Obama but not Hillary. USA today spun that to make it appear as if Cooper was supporting Obama NOW !

He donated CASH ! He could have just voted in the primaries against Hillary versus giving CASH to Obama.

He isn’t according to his comments the last few days . I don’t believe Cooper. I have met Cooper and do not like him as he spun a shooting trip to NM where a lucky shot was made at great range into a credit to his rifle building skills in a ad his company placed later. That’s my personal opinion of him and his gun.

[BrianE]

I’ve never heard of this guy or company.

Dan Cooper, the slap-down you received is leaving a mark... better put some Windex on it.

[Damifino]

Just checked out their website. They make a beautiful rifle. Don’t know much about them at all.

[Lurker]

It seems your post of yesterday was more than just a bit incorrect.

Although we all believe everyone has a right to vote and donate as they see fit, it has become apparent that the fallout may affect more than just Mr. Cooper. It may also affect the employees and the shareholders of Cooper Firearms.

The board of directors has asked Mr. Cooper to resign as President of Cooper Firearms of Montana, Inc.

Way cool! A business that looks out after its own self interest.

Taking this in a slightly different, although related, direction, I get irritated when the Dixie Chicks (and others) complain when their fans turn against them when the take a political position in direct opposition to their fans. Their complaints are similar to, "Hey, we are private citizens too and we have a right to an opinion."

My answer is, "Yes you are. Make your opinion known under your real (non-stage) name, and definitely not on stage. Stop using your popularity."

You know, if I worked for company XYZ, and said, "On behalf of company XYZ, we support candidate ABC," I would be disciplined. And the this story about Cooper Rifles is a case in point.

Let's hear it for Cooper Rifles for having the fortitude to do what is right!

[DocH]

First of all, is he REALLY "gone"?

Second, and most importantly, do they REALLY expect us to believe that someone who supports Obama, "firmly" believes in and "stands by the 2nd amendment"?

NO WAY.

No Cooper rifles for me.

[mad_as_he$$]

Montana Justice swift and sure. Hope he rots in new life. Idiot.

[Scythian]

Dan Cooper has spent all of his working life producing the highest quality rifles built here in the USA. He started with nothing but the American Dream and built that into firearms company anyone would be proud of. And then decided to support a Marxist, thereby nullifying his American Dream

[Joe Brower]

Good news. Too bad they didn't sack this useful idiot before he made headlines supporting The MessiahObamalama-ding-dong.

[Doomonyou]

THAT"S IT, YOU"RE GONE!
