OK guys, I'm getting tired of having to redo all these threads... Cut out the personal attacks!!!
It's been confirmed (several times in this thread) that Lon Horuichi is both a close personal friend and endorser of HS Precision rifles. This both disgusting and a slap in the face to all gun owners. PLEASE DO NOT LET THIS THREAD GET LOCKED DUE TO PERSONAL ATTACKS. If you want to comment on the legalities or moralities of Ruby Ridge or Waco, please start your own thread. A response from Tommy Milner at Remington: Originally Posted By Bubbles:

When you first emailed me I honestly did not recall horiuchi's name so you caught me unawares. I also do not read the blogs so the fact there was an issue came as a surpise. In any event, HS makes a great product and we are a large customer of theirs. Why they would pick a super controversial spokesperson is beyond me. Doing this violates pure business common sense. Early next week we will use whatever persuasive powers at our disposal to get HS to do the right thing.. Do me a favor and tell those on the bolgs that Remington and I are now fully aware of the issue, in full agreement with the outrage, and will do what we can t exert pressure on HS to reverse course. Thanks Tommy ETA: For the newcomers, HS Precision builds high end precision rifles and stocks. The rifles are known for their accuracy and reliability. Their stocks are used by many custom builders as well as most of the production precision rifle builders. HS Precision has decided that they were going to use the praise and accolades from one Lon Horiuchi. Mr. Horiuchi shot and killed Vickie Weaver while holding her infant child during the standoff at Ruby Ridge in 1992. No matter what side you believe in, there is a fairly poor opinion through out the LE community as well as normal gun owners of Lon Horiuchi and it seems he is a VERY poor choice as a company spokesman. |
