Yeah, right, and they're still producing (and defacing) their revolvers with the stupid lock (which I've never, ever heard from anyone who actually uses the silly thing).
Probably why there exist no internet forums for specific activities or consumer goods (or brand names of things) such as cars, trucks, SUVs/four-wheelers, snowmobiles, tools, computers, kitchen/cooking appliances/utensils, skis, watches, knives, sneakers, sporting goods, etc... Oh, sorry -- never mind.
Now in my seventh decade of breathing air on this planet, I've started to believe that perspective is usually a good thing. Seems most people populating the interwebs view their favorite aspects of their own existence through very narrow filters, hardly surprising, I know, but few hereabouts strike me as big-picture sort of folks. And it's definitely clear that many here have absolutely zero idea of what actually goes on in corporate boardrooms. If you believe that every other gun-maker out there hasn't made political concessions at one time or another, by all means, send me some of what you've been smoking. Ronnie Barrett's stand against letting his products go to California or Mag-Pul moving to a state with a better tax situation hardly apply here either, by the way.
Frankly, I think one way we do better, with respect to RKBA issues and politics, is by having AND KEEPING firearm manufacturers (and hunting/shooting accessory manufacturers) in states that aren't the most 2A-friendly. We absolutely need workers in the industry in states such as Illinois and New York, as well as voters from the communities supported by the industry.
Anyone here from Geneseo? Ilion? Hartford? Feel free to chime in. One suspects people who live in those communities are acutely aware of the impact of having big companies in their community.
Not for long, if many of you have your way.
Guess you'd be another who doesn't seem to believe Mr. Reese's statements.
