*****IN YOUR FACE AND I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK ALERT*****

Nope. No way. Not doing it. Not standing up for a bunch of pukes.

Mayber you need a little background to understand...

You see, while I agree in principle that the pending lawsuit is bogus and should be thrown out, I will not 'kneejerk' on the behalf of a corporation that I know, in fact, to be STONECOLD jerks.

For all of you out there that have had favorable dealings with Bushmaster, fine. Good. I'm really glad for you. In fact, I had the same view for a few years of dealing with them during the early Clinton years. However, Busmaster's customer service during times of favorable laws and conditions are one thing - counting on them when things eventually get tough is another...

During the 'assault weapons ban' furor prior to Clinton's anti-firearms crime bill, our friends at Bushmaster froze all pending orders, paid or not, and consistently lied about shipment dates to gain time to see which way things would go. For those of you that can recall those days, the gun community had never seen anything like that in modern times. People were incensed, alarmed, panicked and energized. We were, in many ways, much more a community by way of threat and persecution than we are now in times of relative security. Anyway, for a long period of time, Bushmaster absolutely refused to communicate with anyone by mail, fax or phone. After the passage of the bill and the subsequent bans, Bushmaster promptly upped the price of its arms, and even tried to demand more from those customers that had previously paid in full.

YA' CATCH MY DRIFT? BUSHMASTER DISSED THEIR CUSTOMERS AND TRIED TO EXTORT HIGHER PROFITS DURING A PANIC SITUATION. YA' WANT THESE 'PATRIOTIC' FELLOWS ON YOUR SIDE?

Anyone (Any FFL's out there?) with any dealing with them at that time can confirm these facts.

As I see it, Bushmaster is a firm, like our wishy-washy S&W, that trades on the good graces of gun-owning Americans to make its bread and butter, but when the chips are down, baby, they have demonstrated a perfect willingness to screw those loyal customers raw. If you wish to perpetuate the kind of ethics in the gun manufacturing community that holds it fair game to take your money today and screw you when the chips are down, fine.

But, please, don't expect me to come to the aid of your fairweather friends when they encounter a bit of bad weather.

HEY, BUSHMASTER, NICE TO BE BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE ISN'T IT? ENJOY!

Good catch. I was just about to post this when I caught your post on a search.

bang

I thought this was going to be about David Rockefeller.
