Cooper Arms owner Dan Cooper backs Obama

[Robbin]

Cooper Arms owner Dan Cooper backs Obama. Can't post the article due to copy write infringement, But I thought you might want to know that a gun manufacturer is supporting a gun grabber. He said he was he was dazzled by Obama's speech at that year's Democratic National Convention.

Wooden barrels...maybe

That was my point. My words did not make my point, however, so thanks!

Hopefully, he gets "burned" in the process.

[Dan Cooper]

I, for one, would like to see some proof.

Confirmation...

More executives sold on Obama. It would have been nice if the original poster provided a link!

[Larry Lucido]

Maybe he can get the contract for Zyklon-B, too.

Note to self: Never buy a Cooper Arms product.

You know you could post a source link for this.

[Obadiah]

Without a link this is nothing more than a vanity post.

They must be positioning for supplier of the new national police force.

Odinga, er, I mean Obama wants to create a federal police force just as powerful, just as strong and just as well funded as the US Military.

Bye bye cooper firearms. I shall pass this along at the gun sites I belong to.

Super expensive, bolt-action rifles.

Mr. Cooper,
we'll see your bolt-action rifle bet...
and raise you a couple thousand Barrett .50 caliber BMG!!!

Cooper Arms hopefully will be the next Smith & Wesson:
1. become the bent-over "do me" beotch of a hyper-liberal politician
2. Lose market-share to the point of bankruptcy
3. Be scooped up at maybe a dime, no a penny, on the dollar
by sane investors/gunmakers.

"History may not repeat itself,
but it certainly does rhyme."
(my imperfect recollection of a quote from Mark Twain)

When someone is “dazzled” by one great speech....I always find it alarming. Quick judgement of a person....more than likely turns out that person is not who they claim to be.

He gave money earlier in the campaign to Obama. Wonder why he doesn't fess up and just state that he was an Obama supporter from the beginning?

From the link:

WASHINGTON — Dan Cooper, a proud member of the National Rifle Association, has backed Republicans for most of his life. He’s the chief executive of Cooper Arms, a small Montana company that makes hunting rifles.
Cooper said he voted for George W. Bush in 2000, having voted in past elections for every Republican presidential nominee back to Richard Nixon. In October 1992, he presented a specially made rifle to the first President. Bush during a Billings campaign event.

This year, Cooper has given $3,300 to the campaign of Democrat Barack Obama. That’s on top of the $1,000 check he wrote to Obama’s U.S. Senate campaign in 2004, after he was dazzled by Obama’s speech at that year’s Democratic National Convention.

I would have thought Dan Cooper would have been more of a Ron Paul kinda guy.

I can’t find anything on the Internet to support your claim.

Link?

He's smart enough to fear what happened to Smith & Wesson
when they became lackies of Bill Clinton.
Saying he was ready to joyfully bend over for Obama from
early on in the campaign...even he knows that would be hemlock
(poison!) for his cash flow.

But not smart enough to realize that his "sudden" epiphany
in favor of Obama may mean the demise of sales, then the insolvency
of Cooper Arms.

May his term be short and may another take his place.

(My rough paraphrase of a verse from "The Psalms" that a preacher
said a little old "church lady" mentioned to him as her opinion on
The Clinton Administration.)
