Ringing Endoresment

H-S Precision, a rifle manufacturer located in South Dakota has decided that FBI Sniper Lon Horiuchi would somehow make a great spokesman according to their catalog seen here.

I guess if you are a gun company that makes sniper rifles for the government, what better endorsement could you get than one of the government's most celebrated snipers.

I can think of some new advertising slogans for H-S Precision.

How about, "H-S Precision, when your rifle needs to be able to reach out and kill a women while she is holding a baby."

Or maybe, "H-S Precision, killing bad guys for us is like shooting kids in a burning compound fish in a barrel.

Good luck with your government contracts H-S. With a spokesturd like Horiuchi, you won't be selling much to the public.

In fact, a couple of years ago I ...

    You may remember last year that H-S Precision, makers of rifles and parts, thought it would be a good idea to cast the FBI's #1 criminal sniper, Lon Horiuchi, as a testimonial. Guess if you really need to kill a woman holding a baby, then H-S Precision makes the best rifles and parts to get the nefarious job done.Anyway, the gun blogosphere got wind of it and H-S Precision [I'm purposefully not linking to them] removed the testimonial but refused to offer any sort of apology or even acknowledgment. Their official position became: "we don't have product testimonials". They left ...
