To whom it may concern,

As a person who believes very strongly in the Bill of Rights,
and the Second Amendment in particular, I find the recent
actions of Smith & Wesson, in putting their own profits over
the Constitutional rights and basic human rights of the gun
owners who have made Smith & Wesson profitable all these
years and submitting to the treacherous demands of the
Clinton administration, to be totally reprehensible and
without any virtue whatsoever.

This "Deal with the Devil," completely bypasses Congress in
creating new levels of gun control on a national scale. It
requires Smith & Wesson dealers to take actions that would
adversely affect individual gun owners, even if the gun the
individual was buying were of another brand and purchased
from another individual at a gun show.

For these reasons, I am notifying "ALL" of the gun stores
(and department stores that have gun departments) that I
have dealt with over the past five years and letting them
know how I feel and informing them that I will no longer do
business with them in any manner, if they continue to carry
Smith & Wesson products of any kind. I am informing these
dealers that it is my intention to advance the purchase date
of my next handgun to within the next two months and to add
to that, a second handgun purchase. I am further informing
them that I will buy only NON-Smith and Wesson weapons and
ONLY from dealers that do NOT sell Smith and Wesson
products. My reason for advancing my purchase and adding a
second handgun to the deal is to support the remaining
PATRIOTIC gun manufacturers and dealers, by purchasing
their products.

I am also sending in additional donations to the National
Rifle Association (NRA), the Gun Owners of America (GOA) and
the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF). At this time, when
not only our Constitutional rights, but our basic human
rights are under such vicious attack by the Clinton-Gore
administration, it is imperative that we all stand firm.

By putting profits before principle Smith & Wesson has shown
that it no longer deserves my business, or the business of
any PATRIOTIC AMERICAN. By association, neither do any Smith
& Wesson Dealers who continue to deal in Smith & Wesson
products. They have betrayed those gun owners who have kept
them in business.

It is now time that those same gun owners put these traitors
out of business, by refusing to deal with them in any manner.

I'm  the NRA.
