Title: American Outdoor to Split Off Smith and Wesson
Post by: Ben on November 14, 2019, 08:05:34 AM

Interesting in that politics is alluded to in the article. I can't help but wonder if there was pressure either externally or from some stockholders, I don't know enough about the overall brand to know how much of their profit was gun-based. IIRC, REI was going to top selling their products after one of the mass shootings because of the S&W link and "guns bad".

The evil left is using their economic power to separate and isolate their prey.

I guess we should be pleased that many corporations evil intentions are now openly revealed.
