Counting the seconds until the owners come to his defense, making a stupid decision 1000x worse.

Dear HS, Your employment of retired Agent Lon Horiuchi is a disgusting slap in the face to gun owners. Mr. Horiuchi's actions at Ruby Ridge are the very model of abusive government action, and what every American should fear. I view your use of him as a spokesperson as an endorsement of his criminal actions. As such, I will never purchase one of your products, and will advise my peers to do the same, as my reasons for doing so. Respectfully, Napoleon_Tanerite |

I was gonna say "Looks like they'll be some openings in the Marketing Department there by the end of the week." but then I read that he's pals with the owner.

Don't worry. With sound business decisions like this, they'll have a new owner soon anyway.

Quoted: Savage, too.Quoted: Quoted: Unbelievable. That company needs to be Zumboed. Or like the custom rifle maker that was kicked off of his own board a couple months ago for supporting Husein. Their big contrats are LEO , FBI , SS That won't work with them. But what about Remington, et al? H-S stocks are used on a whole slew of production rifles from the big recognized names. The course of action would be to put pressure on those companies to respond to H-S, instead of H-S directly. |

Call them. I just did and politely informed them that I, among other gun owners, would not patronize a business endorsed by Lon. They were polite, I was too, end of story.

Just emailed.
To the Owners and/or Managment of HS Precision,
When I learned that you had selected Lon Horiuchi as a spokesman or endorser of your products I was very much taken aback. Mr. Horiuchi's well known history, rather than being a positive representative of precision marksmanship, is forever tainted with abusive or retributive governmental action against its own citizenry, and strikes a very negative chord in every freedom loving American. While this may have been an oversight, I feel this endorsement was in very poor taste and does nothing but reflect very poorly on HS Precision's judgment at a minimum, or worse it comes off as an endorsement of Mr. Horiuchi's criminal actions. As such, I cannot in good conscience, purchase any of your products or hold them in high esteem, and will inform others of my reasons and advise them to refrain from doing so as well. Respectfully, Silascobb |

I own 2 of their bolt action rifles. They are both high quality, and very accurate. My serial #'s will be included in the letter I send them stating that I will never again purchase any of their products.

Jeff Cooper's Commentaries
Previously Gunsite Gossip Vol. 1, No. 11 10 December 1993 The Federal agent who shot Vicki Weaver in the face, deliberately, while she was unarmed and holding her child is named Lon Horiuchi. Remember that name. He is still walking around loose. That man must eventually pay for his crime, here or hereafter. Lon Horiuchi. |

Quoted: Who else is on the shithead list? HS Precision AAC ADM Cooper Rifles Don't forget Rob Arms. Apparently Ruger and S&W and a couple more from well before my time are also on the list. AAC was a lawsuit against a forum poster who bashed their products, right? Who's ADM and what did they do? This stuff is hard to keep track of. If I get a complete answer here, I'm going to save it to my hard drive.
