Smith & Wesson pushes back on left-wing, gun-grabbing Democrats with issued statement

The CEO of leading firearms maker Smith & Wesson has had it with Democrats blaming his company’s products for the acts of evil people, and he’s pushing back on recent attacks big time.

As the deep state cretins running dementia President Joe Biden’s regime, in conjunction with congressional Democrats, keep using tragic events to push new gun control measures on their way to essentially neutering the Second Amendment altogether, the gunmaker’s CEO, Mark Smith, put out a statement strongly defending its products while pointing out that those who use any firearm to commit mass murder are really to blame, not their chosen weapon.

“A number of politicians and their lobbying partners in the media have recently sought to disparage Smith & Wesson. Some have had the audacity to suggest that after they have vilified, undermined and defunded law enforcement for years, supported prosecutors who refuse to hold criminals accountable for their actions, overseen the decay of our country’s mental health infrastructure, and generally promoted a culture of lawlessness, Smith & Wesson and other firearm manufacturers are somehow responsible for the crime wave that has predictably resulted from these destructive policies,” Smith’s statement began.

“But they are the ones to blame for the surge in violence and lawlessness, and they seek to avoid any responsibility for the crisis of violence they have created by attempting to shift the blame to Smith & Wesson, other firearm manufacturers and law-abiding gun owners,” he added.

“It is no surprise that the cities suffering most from violent crime are the very same cities that have promoted irresponsible, soft-on-crime policies that often treat criminals as victims and victims as criminals. Many of these same cities also maintain the strictest gun laws in the nation,” Smith continued. “But rather than confront the failure of their policies, certain politicians have sought more laws restricting the 2nd Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens, while simultaneously continuing to undermine our institutions of law and order. And to suppress the truth, some now seek to prohibit firearm manufacturers and supporters of the 2nd Amendment from advertising products in a manner designed to remind law-abiding citizens that they have a Constitutional right to bear arms in defense of themselves and their families.

“To be clear, a Smith & Wesson firearm has never broken into a home; a Smith & Wesson firearm has never assaulted a woman out for a late-night run in the city; a Smith & Wesson firearm has never carjacked an unsuspecting driver stopped at a traffic light,” said the CEO.

“Instead, Smith & Wesson provides these citizens with the means to protect themselves and their families. We are proud of our 170-year history. We are proud of the commitment of our employees to making a quality product. We are proud to provide law-abiding citizens and law enforcement – our customers – with the tools to provide for their security and independence. We are proud of our responsible business practices,” he said in defense of his company.

“We will continue to work alongside law enforcement, community leaders and lawmakers who are genuinely interested in creating safe neighborhoods. We will engage those who genuinely seek productive discussions, not a means of scoring political points. We will continue informing law-abiding citizens that they have a Constitutionally-protected right to defend themselves and their families. We will never back down in our defense of the 2nd Amendment,” Smith concluded.

Earlier this summer, the U.S. Supreme Court’s constitutionalist majority issued a major pro-Second Amendment ruling when they determined that a New York state law dramatically restricting the right of citizens to obtain a concealed carry law was unconstitutional.

Naturally, the left-wing authoritarians running New York — Democrats, all — vowed to ‘do something’ to circumvent the ruling.
