Well it dawned on me today that we have yet another situation where an Anti Gun site is using a well known firearm as a poster child to further it's cause. The VPC, which was recently hacked has this picture currently posted on it's site:
It is obvious that it is an H&K mark 23 pistol. Interestingly enough ALL Mark 23 pistols are manufactured with a keyed lockout system http://www.hecklerkoch-usa.com/ (since last year) So in the spirit of what we did to Beretta,posted here for you who are new to TFL since last September, Want to piss off HCI and Part 2 and in all fairness to Beretta, I believe that it is incumbant upon all of us to Fax and Write or Call H&K and ask them WTFO? Why should we purchase products that are being blatently displayed as Poster Children for the VPC? Isn't it a bit of a rub that H&K voluntarily put internal safety locks in it's Mark 23's only to have the VPC call it Unsafe in any hands?? You can write, call or Fax H&K at the following address:

...“ They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” --Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759.
Whereas, to preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them; nor does it follow from this, that all promiscuously must go into actual service on every occasion. The mind that aims at a select militia, must be influenced by a truly anti-republican principle; and when we see many men disposed to practice upon it, whenever they can prevail, no wonder true republicans are for carefully guarding against it.
---Richard Henry Lee, The Pennsylvania Gazette, Feb. 20, 1788
