"... the agreement lives. "Unenforced", they say. Sounds like an invitation to enforce it at a later date."

You're exactly right!
Talk to a rep at S&W, and thye'll not exactly admit it, but thye've never repudiated that agreement.

F-'em!

I agree with you. Even if they had repudiated the agreement, there are plenty of maufacturers who stood up to the government and deserve my business. I won't own an S&W and I won't buy any of the gear they sell either.
