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

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

..."What actions did S&W take"....

Back in the Clinton years S&W buckled and started to work with Clinton. Most others resisted, S&W was blackballed by Freeper types and other such people until bankruptcy.

You may go bankrupt, but don't do it working with the enemy. People that already owned S&W guns sold them because they couldn't let other people see they owned one. Needless to say new buyers had other choices and chose them instead of S&W.

This is a start to understand why the boycott. There is plenty more.

This is just one lesson among many that CEO's seem to forget now and then. Watch what is happening to Disney right now. They are bragging about how woke they are as the profits get smaller and smaller.

Try to imagine a gun company agreeing to some compromise with Biden right now,....Then imagine an agreement with Trump. Biden puts a stain on a company that can't be scrubbed out.

I think that it was both single and double actions.

You would have to do the research on that.
I do not recall the details, other than some form of bankruptcy.
