I sent the following e-mail this morning:
Mr. Cooper,
I have just become aware of your support for Senator Obama in this year's Presidential election and find it nearly impossible to believe.
This is the source of my information:
More executives sold on Obama - USATODAY.com
The unbelieveable sense of this is that, while you yourself assumably depend upon the continued sales of firearms for your business model to succeed, you would support a candidate that is so blatently unwilling to recognize the clear meaning of the Second Amendment to our U.S. Constitution. Senator Obama's track record and public statements are clearly indicative of his desire to restrict firearms use and ownership well beyond (the myth of) "reasonable restrictions".
This is not only a conflict of interest from a business point of view, but is taken by this lifelong shooter and hunter as a method of "throwing under the bus" a vast segment of firearms and firearms owners who happen to understand the true context and meaning of the Second Amendment. As a collector of ALL types of firearms, I find your support of this dire threat unacceptable and I am, quite frankly, amazed that an otherwise respected firearms manufacturer would conduct himself thus.
It would appear that you indeed buy into the line of misinformation that the US Consititution protects hunters and fisherman (laugh) as Senator Obama has recently stated. I would have expected you to have taken this as an insult to your intellegence, as have I. Perhaps you, with your firearms business primarily oriented toward hunting rifles, feel immune to the further infringing legislation that will surely follow Senator Obama's election and the installation of a mainly Democrat congress. I would suggest, sir, that you are not immune and that you are participating in the sealing of our and your fate.
Even aside from his clearly Socialist agenda, Senator Obama has had his stance against civilian ownership and private use of firearms well documented and publicized, with statements that are, in themselves, contradictory. On one hand, he states that he will uphold the US Constitution (as it has been explained to him), and that he supports it's provisions, while on the other hand vehemently opposes most of the practical effects of these provisions.
While I may share some of your disappointment in the GOP's recent performance in several aspects, support of a third party candidate would have been more acceptable and made much more sense than to have rendered outright support for Senator Obama, a clear threat to our right to keep and bear arms. Please understand that I, and many other gun owners not just devoted to bolt action rifles, are extremely disappointed in your decision.
The material result of this decision is that I, among many others of like mind who are concerned with more than just hunting rifles and realize that the Second Amendment to the US Constitution has nothing at all to do with hunting, will be boycotting your products AND the local dealers who continue to represent you to us, and spreading the word.
Sincerely,
(my name/addy)
Cooper has taken their site's dealer link down, but I did come up with this list. Remember, the dealers can't be responsible for Cooper's decisions, but should know about this.
