An advertisement snafu by HS Precision has been making the rounds on the Internet. I found it on the Call me Ahab blog earlier this morning. The basic story is that HS Precision released catalog with a ‘glowing’ endorsement for HS Precision by former FBI sniper Lon Horiuchi.
Horiuchi just happens to be the person that shot and killed Vicki Weaver during the Ruby Ridge standoff. Vicki Weaver was unarmed and holding a baby at the time of her shooting.
Accidental, justifiable, manslaughter, or murder; in this case, I don’t think it’s wise to publish and endorsement by someone involved in something so controversial. That’s like asking Kobe Byrant to speak at a Take Back the Night rally.
Classy job, HS Precision.
