Thanks Dick!

He and his wife donated $500 each - it's towards the bottom.

In a recent SHOT Show guide, it lists some guy as a point of contact with Swan added to his last name.  (eg Jones-Swan)

Did he take on his wife's last name?  Or did the Swans go Castllian?

Ya know,,,for all the hatred of Dick Swan around here one must keep in context that none of the advancements in M16 optic platforms would have come about as soon as they did if it wasn't for his pioneering in getting that ball rolling.

Same can be said for Leatherman products.

I am just willing to bet all you haters still do your shopping at Wal-Mart too.

Nobody in the democratic party is going to care that he and his wife dropped a grand in donations either.

Probably did it so you haters would whine and he could then file a lawsuit against you for slander and get his money back and then some.

Wal-Mart, the world's largest retailer and owner of Sam's Club warehouse stores, gives more money to Republican candidates than any other company does. Its top three managers, including Chief Executive H. Lee Scott, donated the individual maximum $2,000 to Bush, and Jay Allen, vice president for corporate affairs, raised at least $100,000 to re-elect the president, earning him the Bush campaign's designation of "Pioneer."

It's almost sickening that we need a sticky with a list of the firearms/AR parts manufacturers/retailers that are pro-2A.  It should be obvious, but it is categorically not.

Hey asshat, I was against walmart coming into my small town of 10k ppl 10 years ago, Now that its hear, our small businesses are actually thriving. And we have one of the most profitable walmarts nationally, not to mention its impeccable and really seen as a positive for this town. yes there is some riff-raff there, but i believe it provides a valuable service, and as a store, its a leader in productivity & treatment of workers (contrary to what you are led to think from the MSM - most ARE happy.) they get my business.  PS - i always championed for a business like walmart to buy GM/Chrysler - can you imagine what they would do to that company? Autos could be a leading industry here again, not a subsidized govt entity that will fail anyway since they didnt destroy the union...

He might have been a pioneer in his day, but time moves on.  Instead of keeping with the times, innovating and making his kit better, he brings lawsuits against those companies that do.  His past achievements considered, he's still an asshole in the present.

I don't currently own any tactical rifles.  But I'm saving for them, and I'm young, and I anticipate spending some cash on firearms and accessories over my lifetime.  After this fiasco, know where I won't be shopping.

Then again, LaRue probably had me from the start anyway just because of his presence on these boards.

Leatherman doesn't sue everyone he comes in contact with, and doesn't trademark commonly used words or numbers.

I'd venture to guess he's a far, far, far richer man.

Yeah, I guess.  Regardless of what you think of the guy and his products (I don't own any of his stuff and he seems to be overly litigious) , you really need to question why someone would donate money to a politician dedicated to putting him out of business.  I wonder what the back story is?

Would Ruger still be on that list under the son?  Also, for the benefit of Arfcom, I would suggest we maintain a list of definitely PRO 2A companies, not maintain a negative list, just to make sure the site owners are never accused of negative advertising.
