All firearm manufacturer CEO's need to get in line and follow this guy's lead. By the tone of his letter, and his refusal to bend a knee and show up for Congress when they stamped their feet a few weeks ago, I think he's about at the end of the road putting up with the BS and kowtowing to the garbage in Congress. It's about time.

Yes, will be adding another M&P compact sooner than later, now.

"If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24
I would sure like to read the first draft or two of that statement in the ‘brain-storming’ phase where you’re quite passionately and without polite and politically correct restraint getting your thoughts down on paper as it were!
I would guess that there may have been an F-bomb or two in there along with some A-holes and the like!!

Please don't do that. That is not what this letter and thread is about. Let's stay on subject please.

I read that Congress will be "inviting" CEO's of firearm manufacturers to DC. I believe Mr. Smith will be one of the invitees. That will be a session worth watching. Well played, Mr. Smith.
Let me help you out. Which way did you come in?

They have no choice now. They tried to play it nice in the past and where did it get them?
The commies are going to use frivolous lawsuits to bankrupt gunmakers. Lawsuits banned by Congress, but that commie judges let through anyway. Remington was bankrupted (well they sucked too, but...) by lawsuits over the use of a their product by a criminal because the advertising could have appealed to a minor? Never mind no evidence that the minor in question ever actually saw said advertising.

Perhaps S&W has finally come to their senses? First they announced their move to TN. Now their CEO publicly declares that S&W will not bend over for common sense gun control.
