[WATCH] One American Gun Manufacturer Is Fighting Back Against the Left's Wrath
PJ Media ^ | 26 June 2022 | Gwendolyn Sims

Posted on 06/26/2022 1:14:58 PM PDT by ShadowAce

Like many businesses, America’s gun manufacturers are feeling the deleterious effects of Bidenflation. Gun manufacturers, however, are additionally subject to the left’s ire and misplaced wrath over “gun violence.” After most horrific shooting tragedies, that wrath comes with the inevitably hysterical demands to ban “assault” guns and add even more stringent federal regulations on gun ownership while simultaneously vilifying all gun owners along with the entire gun industry and its workers.

At long last, one American gun manufacturer, Smith & Wesson, has had enough. Smith & Wesson — one of America’s oldest gun manufacturers since 1852 — is hitting back against the left’s gun hysteria and villainization in no uncertain terms.

This is who we are.

Maybe someone needs an M&P. Possibly a lung popping 9mm. 👍😃

If someone can sue a gun manufacturer because one of their guns killed someone, how about suing car companies because a criminal in a SUV ran over a bunch of people, how about suing booze makers because a drunk ran over someone, how about a company that makes machetes .. axes ... knives ... etc etc etc

All this crap is just making lawyers rich.

S&W did some dumb stuff many years ago.
It’s clear that they learned their lesson from the public reaction to them being stupid.

They learned their lesson after they went bankrupt.

The new owners are smarter.

I don’t remember that. What actions did S&W take with their handguns in that agreement?

Ruger’s founder pissed a lot of people off back in the 90’s for being in favor of the AWB. They too have learned their lesson.

M&P Plus, Performance Center edition. Suh-weet. I do have to keep popping my lungs back in, though.

I think some kind of deal with the sonofabitfch Andrew Cuomo when he was a wheel in the despicable Clinton administration.

Can’t use a S&W. Trigger finger is too short.

A Colt fits right.

But then, its good to see the S&W swing.

S&W are damn fine guns too. When I took my CCW test I took my 22A in for the target test . They had 4 NRA standard targets up and I shot the black center out of all 4 . The newbies were shouting and cheering me on as I emtied 4 cylinders . I felt like a hero but I’m just an old country boy with a rare S&W 22A with a 7 1/2” barrel . And a good eye !

I’ve cone to really like M&P

Much more comfortable to carry than 5” 1911 by Kimber, Colt or Wlison Combat...

Trying to get the 10MM I have the .40. M&Ps are fine, fine weapons. I would trust my life with them. Them and Sig.

The impetus for change was the death of Bill Ruger.
