"After the aforementioned S&W debacle, and the Zumbo affair, to think that one could be the head of a firearms company and NOT have such donations seen and acknowledged, let alone the statements to reporters, and to not expect it to have a negative affect on the companies business, is simply irresponsible.
I think that the damage is done, and as long as Mr Cooper holds shares in the company, they are going to suffer, as there are too many that will not spend any of their money if they believe that any of it may turn around and be spent on furthering interests that are directly opposed to their own"
Trevi:
I think it should be pointed out that S&W has come light years in redeeming themselves after that fool they had for a CEO was ousted. I quit boycottng them long ago since they repudiated his position. As an aside my carry gun is a S&W 4008 in 40S&W.
Furthermore S&W sends two factory gunsmiths to my club once a year and they will work on any S&W product on the spot for a $20 donation to the NRA. The essentialy rebuilt a Model 28 Highway Patrolman who over 30,000 rounds thru it for me two years ago. In this case their positive actions go a long way.
Cooper can do the same but whether they choose to remains to be seen.
