HS
PRECISION DIGS IN ITS HEELS
In spite of an avalanche of e-mails, HS
Precision, (the rifle and stock maker that promoted its
products with a glowing endorsement from hired killer
Lon Horiuchi) has decided to ignore gun owners who expressed
outrage at this bit of marketing insanity. (The company was
even mocked by Tom Gresham of GunTalk
last Sunday.)
But in spite of HS's decision to ignore gun owners (in order
to placate their big government customers) your efforts have
not been unsuccessful. AR15.com reports a response
they received from Remington
Arms, a regular customer of HS.
While we have not been able to see the original e-mail at this
time,or prove its authenticity,a review of Remington's website
did indicate that they no longer have any mention of HS Precision
there, as was noted in the reported e-mail.
(Except for, apparently here
and here.
Guess they missed a few.)
(Questions about the authenticity
of the e-mail seem to have been answered.)
But now is not the time to let HS off the hook. What does Remington
mean when it says HS should "reverse course?" They
won't use a hired killer to endorse their products in the future?
Big deal.
Anyone distributing their products needs to hear from gun owners.
Any business relationship with HS is an endorsement of their
outrageous policies and callous disregard for innocent human
life.
A list of their hunting distributors can be seen
here.
A list of their international distributors can be seen here.
A list of their stock distributors can be seen here.
(Note this HS web page has a bad link for Cabela's. They
link to a cable website. The correct link is http://www.cabelas.com/
)
A list of their "tactical" distributors can be seen
here.
A weird page with satin gloves and pearls,(which thanks to Lon
Horiuchi, Vicky Weaver will never get the chance to wear) can
be found here.
If you patronize any of these businesses, they need to know
that you are disgusted that they would be promoting products
that are hawked by a sniper who shot an unarmed woman through
the head, while she held her infant daughter.
It has been reliably reported to us that HS Precision considers
the people who have contacted them to be "kooks" and
"fringe element." Apparently Remington does
not share the same disdain for their customers.
We strongly believe that a company that is far more interested
in the approval of government agencies than American gun owners
is a danger to all of us.
Companies like HS put profits before principles. They are acting
as agents for government agencies that seek to attack gun owners,
even if it means gunning them down. As long as HS remains in
business, the message is clear; gun owners are expendable, gun
hating federal agencies will continue to be accommodated.
Since HS has no interest in addressing the outrage of gun owners
(who rightfully consider a hired killer to be a poor spokesman
for a firearms manufacturer) we think it's time to turn our
attention to their business partners. We hope you do too.
