Smith & Wesson selling out

[Apeach]

What's the deal with everyone saying that S&W sold out? I've heard people refer to it, but I don't really know what they're talking about. So if you could help me out here, I'd like to get the skinny on this issue (without any personal biases please). Thanks a lot.

I'd suggest that you search for threads containing this subject. In particular, look for posts by Mike Irwin, and go to the links where the agreement is recorded. Forget about reading S&W's interpretation of the agreement. It doesn't hold water from a factual or legal standpoint.

Before you do anything else, click on the link in my signature line and read the text of the FULL (not some sanitized piece of claptrap) agreement that S&W signed. Concentrate on what S&W agrees to do, and the amount of government control that the company has agreed to.

Then go and read the threads that have been posted here about it.

Good suggestions buzz and Mike.

We don't need another S&W thread since it has been covered in the finest detail possible, so I'll close this knowing that Apeach will have weeks of reading ahead.
