Smith & Wessons slammed politicians and the media for supporting policies that have led to a rise in crime like defunding the police
Smith & Wesson took to Twitter to hit back at politicians and the media for suggesting that the gun manufacturer β and not the policies they support β were responsible for rising crime rates nationwide.
The company said politicians and the media have "vilified and undermined" law enforcement, supported prosecutors with policies some label soft on crime, and have generally promoted a culture of lawlessness, yet have the "audacity" to blame Smith & Wesson and other firearm manufacturers "for the crime wave that has predictably resulted from these destructive policies."

More 2nd Amendment related articles on FR's Bang List.

Gun and ammunition manufacturers need to stop selling firearms and ammo to the Feddies.
“fires back”?
We can only hope for future “guns down”.
Someone needs to staple a copy of this letter to Bill Ruger’s coffin.
When will they finally collectively do this? No firearms, ammo or armory services to these places.
They said:
“[T]hey are the ones to blame for the surge in violence and lawlessness, and they seek to avoid any responsibility for the crisis of violence they have created by attempting to shift the blame to Smith & Wesson, other firearm manufacturers and law-abiding gun owners.”
“But rather than confront the failure of their policies, certain politicians have sought more laws restricting the 2nd Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens, while simultaneously continuing to undermine our institutions of law and order,”
“And to suppress the truth, some now seek to prohibit firearm manufacturers and supporters of the 2nd Amendment from advertising products in a manner designed to remind law-abiding citizens that they have a Constitutional right to bear arms in defense of themselves and their families.”

They live off their military contracts. They sell to regular folks as a side job. If you think the azzhole s in DC donβt have as much ordinance as us grunts, you better wake up.
Good to see S&W finally growing a pair. Now if they get rid of the Hillary Hole locks I just might buy S&W revolvers againβ¦β¦.after I get that Colt Iβve been eying.

Carolyn Maloney wants to know how much money gun manufacturers make on certain products.

Congress is not God. We don’t answer to them. They answer to us.

Kick anti gun pols out of office for not representing their constituents. They should represent their supporters and not the government.
Now THAT’s the kind of talk that I like to see from a gun maker such as S&W.
Can they get rid of that Hillary hole on their revolvers now, and bring back some really nice blueing?
Didn’t Barrett stop selling to government agencies?
