Where's the Scam?

The bicentennial committee said that they would be contacting the State Attorney General and make a complaint with him. They said that they will let him look into the situation... A situation they are calling a scam.

That seems harsh, considering the totality of circumstances and the opinion of the gun shop spokesman they interviewed.

I can understand raising a flag on historical inaccuracies, but it sure seems that could be handled without siccing legal attack dogs on the gun dealer. Did anyone from the committee call them, express their concerns about the design and see what they had to say? Has anyone indicated they were ripped off or didn't get their money's worth? Or did they just go running to the State AG?

Why does the "blazing west" comment make me think there might be some...sentiment at work here?

If you want to check out the work being characterized as a "scam," here's the Historical Armory website. I magnified the video and was able to make out the Edition Code:

That's actually some pretty nice work there.
