S&W's CEO REMAINS IN HOT WATER
Smith & Wesson (S&W) CEO Ed Shultz seems to be looking for ways he can
best infuriate what used to be his company's best customers -- law-abiding
gun owners. First he caved in to anti-gun extremists by agreeing to the
infamous S&W Sellout (see Special FAX Alert 3/20/00). Now The Hartford
Courant reports that in the aftermath of his surrender to the Clinton-Gore
Administration Shultz claims he has received some threats from what he
describes as a "vulgar and radical" minority. It is certainly wrong to
threaten Shultz because he chooses to collaborate with enemies of the
Second Amendment, but the embattled CEO describes those making threats as
the kind of citizens who have "gun racks on their pickup trucks" and who
are fanatical about the Second Amendment right to bear arms. If you are a
law-abiding gun owner who sees nothing wrong with gun racks and our Right
to Keep and Bear Arms, you may want to tell Mr. Shultz that you disagree
with his opinion, and you are more than capable of doing so without
threatening violence. You can send Mr. Shultz an e-mail at
ceo@smith-wesson.com, or write to him at 2100 Roosevelt Avenue,
Springfield, MA 01104.
