Actually in my area when Smith & Wesson tried to commit suicide and side with the Klintoon's the word spread like wildfire.

People were handing out news reports at show and shops. Many dealers I talked to were canceling their Smith & Wesson business. Several dealers had signs up saying that they did not do business with Smith & Wesson and were not shy of explaining why to someone who had a question.

I'm not saying 'grassroots' activists weren't getting out the word, I'm saying that the organizational structure around us dragged its feet. Heck yeah, I even bereated the S&W people at the NRA convention that year and gave Winchester Western heat for pulling their 'Black Talon' ammo because of political pressure. Like most things, it comes down to the individuals.
