Let's think about this for a second. S&W makes about 25% of their sales to the government at a very low mark-up when compared to the 75% of public sales which goes for a much higher mark-up.
Everyone is saying that Smith & Wesson SOLD OUT but it doesn't appear that they did it for the money because they stand to lose more than they can hope to gain especially since over half the cities that were sueing them are continuing with the lawsuits against them despite this agreement.
It just doesn't add up as to why they would do something like this unless there was some funny business going on at the top that has yet to be reveiled or S&W's parent company made this decision for them.
