I hate to see one of the oldest and finest American firearms manufacturers go out of business, but they did it to themselves. The worst part is that they stilll just don't get it. Here is an excerpt from the latest interview with Schultz. Even though the slant makes me sick, it's no surprise considering the interview was conducted by and written for the British Sheeple.
"Asked if he had any regrets about signing the pact, Shultz says NO (emphasis added) very clearly before adding: "It was the only reasonable alternative we had." His second line of defence is that the company had to change to deal with a changing society and new market dynamics. This has been hard for many gun owners to accept. Among the more blood-curdling complaints made via the net is one suggesting some of the new curbs would allow the Clinton administration to collect information about gun owners.
Shultz, a lifetime Republican who can hardly say the word Clinton without curling his lip, describes this as part of the "spin" disseminated by his opponents. He compares the new rules for gun distributors as akin to making sure someone can drive before giving them a car.
There has been "tremendous support from the public" for his stance, he says. "Here in the US, a significant percentage of the voting population agrees with us." He has even received supportive letters from the UK..."

Note how the article downplays the agreement as if it were only about trigger locks and some "research" into smart gun tech. Also note how we (internet gunowners) are depicted as a paranoid lunatic fringe who are spreading "complaints" that the agreement would allow the government to collect information about gunowners. Did these guys read the agreement?? It very specifically give the oversight committee and the BATF unlimited access to dealers records without a warrant-- that's not paranoia, that's fact.
He also claims that there's tremendous support from the public? Say what?? Oh, you mean accolades from Million Moron Moms, HCI, Sarah Brady and their stooges in the media? Please. Wake up Schultz you idiot-- you have made a deal with the devil and cut your own throat at the same time. Have you ever read a book or watched a movie, like "Crossroads"?-- I guess not because you don't seem to know what happens to everyone who makes a deal with the devil. You have been dropped from only one lawsuit, Comarades Clinton and Cuomo have not come through with the promised favoritism in government contracts and your loyal consumers have deserted you.
Smith and Wesson must die. We must take them to task and make an example out of them. If we do not, we are lost!

Shultz seems to be at his 'best' when he tries to make his opponents (especially American gun owners) out to be fools. I remember his comments a few months back about how we're a bunch of Neanderthals, in essence.
