Unfortunately, many people such as yourself, have been economically impacted by Thomkin's decision to capitulate to the clinton administration. On the bright side, they provided a lesson to others in the industry that we will not tolerate a sellout, as they finally retreated back to Britain with their tail between their legs.

I had purchased two S&W's in the year prior to the agreement, and did not hesitate to voice my displeasure to management vociferously. I have been slow to warm up to S&W since then, but I'm now happy to welcome them back into the fold.

" In numerous conversations with retailers and others, Mr. Scott says he emphasized his commitment to gun owners' freedoms."

Don't be so quick to "welcome them back into the fold."

S&W have never repudiated or otherwise "unsigned" the disastrous agreement they signed with the Feds.
Sure, as long as the GOP controls the executive branch they're OK, but they've never severed their ties to HUD, and a change in admisitrations could put them right back in bed with the gungrabbers.

Don't believe me? Call them yourself and ask; you'll get a runaround, but the final answer is, "Well, NO."
