HS Precision Flaunts Lon Horiuchi endorsement.

In what some scientists are now referring to as a "monumental fuckup," HS Precision has used a letter of endorsement from Lon Horiuchi(FBI, ret.) to promote their brand of precision rifles. Lon Horiuchi is best known for shooting of Vicki Weaver in the head as she held her child in her arms, back in 1992 at Ruby Ridge. In response to this move by HS Precision to link themselves with a precision shooter famous for shooting a lady in the head, the nation's firearms owners issued a brief, impromptu statement. This statement reads, in part:

"Seriously, what the fuck are you thinking, you-"

In all seriousness, I sat down, actually found a physical piece of paper, a stamp and an envelope, and typed up a brief note explaining to HS Precision that their decision to link their products with an endorsement by a man who represents all that could be criticized in Federal law enforcement - the lack of accountability or redress of wrongs for the murder of an unarmed woman, promotion internally after the incident - is a grievous mistake, one that assures that not only will I avoid all HS Precision products from this day forward, but make sure that anyone I discuss them with, will will do the same.

Go ahead, give them a call yourself:
