One last note, tangentially related to all this: Thanks to a heads-up find by "LaRue Tactical" over at AR15.com, we learn the proprietors at Atlantic Research Marketing Systems, makers of firearms accessories and gun sights, donated $1,000 to Coakley in a previous campaign. Those of you attending the SHOT Show, going on right now in Las Vegas, might want to stop by their booth and ask them why.Well, someone did, and they inform me:
[He] wanted to try to make a clarification to a possible misconception that some people apparently held.Ain't no "misconception." I clearly stated: "donated $1,000 to Coakley in a previous campaign" and it's not like she hadn't already been previously endorsed by the Brady Campaign/Million Mom March.
He admitted that he was aware of the issue of the donation to Coakly's campaign, and confirmed that donation(s) were in fact made, but wanted to emphasize that it was made some time back in the past, for her political campaign as Attorney General, not her recent Senate campaign.
If that's what they're telling people, they're clouding the issue. More Dan Cooper/HS Precision supplier support for gungrabbers BS, if you ask me.
They're free to support who they want, of course.
So am I.
This kind of stuff does make me wonder why we should give a damn about suppliers getting in trouble...
Seems more would be accomplished by trying to educate these people about the real issues and help them see the economic price to them if they support and encourage our enemies.
ReplyDeleteDon't just stop buying their stuff... make sure they know why you are not doing so, and what they can do to turn that around.
I think most of us agree that worked fairly well with Smith and Wesson.
