Keep in mind that the anti's want to remove guns from our society anyway that they can. If they can't do it directly through laws, then they will do it indirectly and that is exactly what is happening right now! S&W needs our support now more than ever. Remember, it is not up to a corporation to defend our rights (the primary purpose of EVERY corporation is to generate a profit for their shareholders) -- defedning our rights falls on our shoulders.
What happens when another company follows in S&W's footsteps? Are we not going to buy their products as well? Sooner or later, most (if not all) major gun makers will be going in the same direction. What happens then? We're only going to buy used guns? What happens when those guns start to wear out and break? A gunless society and the anti's win!
We need to stand behind the gun makers now with our support more than ever. If we don't like a particular model (or feature -- such as a 'smartgun' for example) then we just don't buy it the way we pick and choose now but if we blindly boycott all of their products, we're only going to shoot ourselves in the foot in the long run.
