I just wanted to add, I know that S&W is just watching out for investors. They want the LEO and military business if the civilian market gets cut short.
It is my understanding this is the
second time that S&W has covered both cheeks. I'd rather see them support 2nd fully than become the armament used to disarm the populace. They know there is backlash and discussions by there stance. But as most corporations, they are watching out for investors and giving lip serves to the 2nd.
Yes, I am taking and keeping my business with other companies. Companies that do not talk out of both sides of their mouth.
Notice there mission statment is 1 sentance aboput "personal safty" and the rest is about selling to LEO and militaty:
