Smith & Wesson Stepping Up Production to Meet Record Setting Astronomical Demand for New Guns
They’re stepping up production.
One of the biggest gun manufacturers in the United States is pledging to step up gun production as demand for new firearms soars to astronomical proportions. Smith & Wesson is pledging to boost their manufacturing to “maximum capacity” to meet unprecedented demand.
Gun sales in 2020 have crushed the records set in any previous year by a hefty margin, with the combination of the coronavirus and nationwide race riots aided and abetted by the Democratic Party serving to convince millions of Americans who have never owned guns before that they need to arm themselves.
“As we’ve seen before during these surge periods, these results reflect that despite our record numbers in market share growth, consumer demand for our products during the quarter still exceeded our internal manufacturing capacity levels,” said Mark Smith, CEO of the firearms company that was founded in 1852, in a call on Thursday. “We’re continuing to ramp up…. We’re going to go to maximum capacity.”
The company moved almost 600,000 guns from a period between May and July, smashing its records and depleting its existing inventory of newly manufactured guns.
“When we get into these surge environments like this, and as you can see from the [gun background check numbers] we’ve never seen one quite this high, the demand in the industry just outstrips the industry’s ability to supply,” Smith said. “And we’re no different. You can look at the inventory numbers from us and from some of the other firearms, retailers, and manufacturers, and I think we’re just out of inventory.”
Elevating existing manufacturing levels could prove critical to...
‘F**k the white people!’: BLM activists terrorize diners in Pittsburgh, steal drinks, scream obscenities
With polling showing support for Black Lives Matter tanking faster than television ratings of the LeBron James-led NBA playoffs, activists in the movement marked the Memorial Day weekend by terrorizing white people Saturday in Pittsburgh, Pa.
After more than three months of so-called racial injustice protests orchestrated by Black Lives Matter, protesters are falling back on radical civil disobedience in order to draw attention, and for the second time in as many days diners were set upon by the mob.
As seen in the video below, a BLM activist with a bullhorn is screaming at white diners sitting outside a restaurant.
“You are an embarrassment!” he yells.
Another militant walked right up to the table of an elderly white couple and said, “F*ck 12 and the f*ck white people who built the system …!”
(“12” being a reference to law enforcement.)
He concluded his verbal assault by laughing in their face, before flipping them off as he walked away.
That spectacle was followed by a large woman boldly walking up and taking a beer off the table and chugging it.
Of course, being a Trump supporter is enough for the left to tag you as a Nazi, and as was seen last week in Portland, being a supporter of the president can get you killed in post-Obama America.
As BLM protesters marched in the street behind them chanted, “No justice, no peace,” the thug who verbally assaulted the elderly white couple is seen slamming his hand on a table next to them. Glasses sitting on the table broke as they fell to...
We now live in an America where mob rule crushes all dissent
Edmund Burke warned us. We'd do well to listen
Wanton destruction coast to coast. Rioters burning down entire car dealerships in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Protesters chanting “F___ Your Jesus” in the streets of Charlotte, North Carolina. Hate, violence, death and destruction.
This is the rule of the mob. This is what democratic socialism looks like. This is your future if you don’t stop it now. And I am not the only one saying so. Edmund Burke said it 230 years ago as he watched the same fires burning in the parks of Paris that we now see smoldering in Portland’s streets.
In 1790 Burke wrote his seminal work, “Reflections on the Revolution in France.” In it, he warned that the radicalism underlying the events of 1789 was only a foretaste of things to come.
More specifically, Burke challenged the theory-laden relativism of the Jacobins. He called out their arrogance, chronological snobbery and juvenile confidence in everything that was new while chastising their childish disregard for anything that was old. He prophesied that this unmoored youthful verve would end with French blood flowing in the streets.
How did he know all this? Why was he so right?
Put simply, Burke understood and respected the recorded facts of human experience. Or stated differently, he believed in the reality of history as an antidote to the progressive infatuation with the abstract, untried, unproven and untrue.
Burke famously said the most obvious lesson of human experience is that the problem is human nature. It isn’t race. It isn’t socioeconomics. It isn’t poverty, wealth, education or intersectionality. The problem is you. The problem is me. The problem is sin.
“In history, a great volume is unrolled for our instruction, drawing… wisdom from the past errors and the infirmities of mankind”, said Burke. “History consists for the great part of the miseries brought upon the world by pride, ambition, avarice, revenge, lust, sedition, hypocrisy … and all the train of disorderly appetites.”
In saying this, Burke was responding to the secular subjectivism of the Enlightenment thinkers such as Rousseau. His warning was that if any society arrogantly discards all the traditions, morals and standards that have served as sin’s restraint that that culture is doomed.
He understood that boundaries and definitions are needed for there to be freedom. He was the precursor to Chesterton in arguing for the paradox of liberty and law. He knew that if you kill the culture and kill the church, the next inevitable step will be to kill the people because nothing is left to restrain you from doing so.
Burke argued that it was the rejection of time-tested truths, customs, and traditions that led the Republic of Virtue’s proponents to act with a viciousness that shocked the world. More directly, he contended that the source of the Jacobins’ evil was their rejection of Christianity and their belief that if they could just destroy the church, they could construct their own socialist utopia from its ashes. Thus, all the world’s problems would be solved, and they would be the new secular gods and crush all who dared not worship them.
Burke called this the “spirit of profanation,” where all was profaned. Time and dates, sex and sanctity, male and female, structure and morality, even life and death — Nothing was left sacred — Not property, not tradition, not customs, manners or laws.
Diderot and Robespierre were quite clear. They sought “to dismantle” everything that stood in their way. Defund the police. Desecrate statues. Defame the church. Everything must go. They would not be satisfied until “the last king was strangled by the entrails of the last priest.”
Burke labeled this the “black and savage atrocity of mind” that superseded “the common feelings of nature and all sentiments of morality and religion.”
Today, the same “spirit of profanation” is rife. How can anyone, but the most calloused soul, watch the riots and looting now commonplace in the nightly news and not think of the “extreme democracy” Burke warned of or the dystopias foretold by Huxley and Orwell?
Ours is now a world where the rule of the gang crushes all dissent. This is a world where all who refuse to storm the Bastille are told they have no rights or even the right to exist. This is a world where the common folk, the traditionalists, i.e., the Christians, are deemed deplorable rubes to be laughed at, maligned, scorned and “canceled.” This is a world where...
