He said, ?some [lawmakers] have had the audacity to suggest that after they have vilified, undermined and defunded
law enforcement for years, supported prosecutors who refuse to hold criminals accountable for their actions, overseen
the decay of our country?s mental health infrastructure, and generally promoted a culture of lawlessness, Smith & Wesson
and other firearm manufacturers are somehow responsible for the crime wave that has predictably resulted from these destructive policies.?
?But they [lawmakers] are the ones to blame for the surge in violence and lawlessness, and they seek to avoid any responsibility
for the crisis of violence they have created by attempting to shift the blame to Smith & Wesson, other firearm manufacturers and
law-abiding gun owners,? Smith continued.
He said it was ?no surprise that the cities suffering most from violent crime are the very same cities that have promoted irresponsible,
soft-on-crime policies that often treat criminals as victims and victims as criminals. Many of these same cities also maintain the strictest
gun laws in the nation.?
Smith said politicians who push failed progressive policies scapegoat gun manufacturers:
?But rather than confront the failure of their policies, certain politicians have sought more laws restricting the Second Amendment
rights of law-abiding citizens??
Smith made it clear that no Smith & Wesson firearm has broken into a home, assaulted a woman out for a late-night run in the city,
and or carjacked an unsuspecting driver stopped at a traffic light. ?Instead, Smith & Wesson provides these citizens with the means
to protect themselves and their families,? he added.
