We drove the traitor Smith out. This is a new guy. He's all for the second amendment.



I'm willing to let it go, but keep in mind that the new owner put money into the pockets of the devil. If we were to boycott until the liquidation sale, then future companies would know that even if they got caught doing a nasty deal with the devil, they could always find buyers, and get a solid price for the company by pointing out that it didn't take long for Smith to recover from the worst gun boycott ever.

A boycott isn't about making US feel better, it is about teaching a powerful lesson that prevents future sellouts.

Buy Smith now, and you make future sellouts by other companies more likely.

It's actually a moot point with me since I only buy the pinned and recessed Smiths (hence my screen name).

Here in CA that's difficult since Sacramento in their infinite wisdom decided that the older venerable Smiths are unsafe unless you buy from an individual.

They honestly take the fun out of guns. Almost.

Actually the Brits that sold the company lost money on the deal . They originally bought the company for over 24 million & sold it for just over 11 million to the present owners.
