do you know anything about an attempted take over of Smith and Wesson by the Fed?
I couldn’t find any real substantiation of the story I saw.
The old Smith & Wesson cut a deal with NY or Boston regarding gun liability. They were owned by the British at the time. Everyone boycotted S&W and the company cratered. The Brits sold it back to an American group who ripped up the agreement and repented. We now buy S&W products. Fine wheel guns and a great (if blemished) history. This all happened during the Clinton onslaught on the 2A.
