The Right Thing to Do

PARA USA regrets its decision to provide firearms for use in the film "Taken 3". While the film itself is entertaining, comments made by its Irish-born star during press junkets reflect a cultural and factual ignorance that undermines support of the Second Amendment and American liberties. We will no longer provide firearms for use in films starring Liam Neeson and ask that our friends and partners in Hollywood refrain from associating our brand and products with his projects. Further, we encourage our partners and friends in the firearms industry to do the same. [More]
Excellent. It's nice to see companies that promote principles, especially when some pay big money to get their products showcased in major motion pictures due to the promotional value.

Why does PARA USA "regret" their decision? Seems perfectly good to me. I suspect that what they really regret is the necessity of taking this action.

They regret their decision to provide the film with firearms. Seems like a fair statement to me.

Can anyone determine why the facebook page is GONE?

It's still there for me. Sometimes there are glitches.

Maybe we can get to a point in Neeson films where they have to go down to the local wally world, buy an airsoft and have the "actor" go pow, pow for sound effects when shooting the good guys.
