Smith & Wesson has been for sale for a while now, no big news here. I am really getting the feeling that both sides are playing head games with us. The Anti's wanting to get that "we are winning feeling" and rubbing it in our faces. The gun companies playing with our fears, getting us to purchase guns at a more aggressive rate. More expensive too. Something smells here! Reality check, developed nations cannot survive without small arms. Small arms cannot survive without consumer sales. Without consumer sales most companies would close. No company can survive just selling to the government. If all the companies consolidate, thinking power dies (the innovations), thus superiority dies with it. Don't panick, concentrate on the law. The law of the land that is, our 2nd Amendment rights. The Anti's are trying to rattle us loose, make up spread our resources around. Gun companies are more interested in profits and are not going to help us. Stay focused!
