"...whoever thought "hey, lets get Lon Horiuchi" is not exactly a candidate for Mensa."

Or they simply misunderstood, "Hey, let's get Lon Horiuchi".

I sincerely hope that they didn’t know anything about his background, but it is hard to imagine someone involved in the gun business doesn’t know about this piece of shit.

I wondered about the remote possiblity that perhaps none of the many who had to be involved with creating and setting this up knew or bothered to mention it to anyone. Sadly, that unlikely scenario is not the case.

From the AR15.com forum:

I called them and asked about the endorsement. The lady who answered said Horiuchi knows the owner and confirmed the endorsement.

I'm thinking of purchasing their Lee Harvey Oswald Commemorative Rifle for X-Mas.

With the bad economy I can only afford an OJ domestic dispute knife.

Couldn’t find the page you posted...they may have taken it down.

Did notice that they have a trophy room. Wonder if Lon Horiuchi has an official FBI photograph of Vicki Weaver.

Lon has been hiding behind the fed for years..sounds like he’s out in the civilian world now, thinking that he’s been forgotten.

Maybe they hired Lon for the promotion of their “Lady-killer” model of rifle?

I was still none the wiser after your response so have looked it up here.

I hear Sirhan Sirhan is endorsing their upcoming line of pistols.

Then, I don’t KNOW H-S Precision at all. THEY DON’T EXIST.

Be careful with these kind of jokes.....O’s thugs will perceive it as a threat.

IIRC, a younger, more precious life than that was viciously taken.

Their line of Charles Whitman Remington 700’s has been selling well.

If I censor myself to please the Nazis then the Nazis win. I will not do so and if it costs me my life or liberty to speak my mind then so be it.

To be fair, we don't know for certain that he murdered Vicki Weaver. I personally think he probably did. If not, he almost certainly committed manslaughter. We do know he shot her in the head while she was holding her baby and not threatening anyone.

I doubt if I would ever buy anything from H-S anyway but I am sure I would not now. I will also do everything legally and proper in my power to harm their business.

FWIW a copy of my email to this company.

Dear Sir or Madame,

I read with shock the ‘endorsement’ on the back of your advertising circular by Lon Horiuchi.

Rest assured that as long as you have a man who is, in my opinion, guilty of either gross negligence or cold blooded murder in the death of Vicki Weaver as a spokesperson for your products I will never, every patronize your company.

Ever.

Mr. Horiuchi typifies everything that’s wrong with Law Enforcement today. He is responsible for the death of an innocent woman and only escaped prosecution by the State of Idaho by claiming the
‘sovereign immunity’. To date he has not shown one shred of remorse for his role in what many of us in the firearms community consider a case of government sponsored murder.

Please rethink your decision to use him.

Thank you,

L

If banglist is in the keywords, Joe B. will pick up on it and ping the faithful.

Have you seen the limited edition with the James Earl Ray scope?
