Smith & Wesson (S&W) CEO Ed Shultz seems to be looking for ways he can best infuriate what used to be his company's best customers -- law-abiding gun owners. First he caved in to anti-gun extremists by agreeing to the infamous S&W Sellout (see Special FAX Alert 3/20/00). Now The Hartford Courant reports that in the aftermath of his surrender to the Clinton-Gore Administration Shultz claims he has received some threats from what he describes as a "vulgar and radical" minority. It is certainly wrong to threaten Shultz because he chooses to collaborate with enemies of the Second Amendment, but the embattled CEO describes those making threats as the kind of citizens who have "gun racks on their pickup trucks" and who are fanatical about the Second Amendment right to bear arms. If you are a law-abiding gun owner who sees nothing wrong with gun racks and our Right to Keep and Bear Arms, you may want to tell Mr. Shultz that you disagree with his opinion, and you are more than capable of doing so without threatening violence. You can send Mr. Shultz an e-mail at ceo@smith-wesson.com, or write to him at 2100 Roosevelt Avenue, Springfield, MA 01104.
