A gun company stopped dealing with someone that plead guilty to felony gun crimes?
Sounds like a smart move to me.
Exactly what I was thinking. Public and private relationships aside... Wilson and any other gun company needs to disassociate from him or they're going to have other problems later. That doesn't mean they can't still be friends in real life though.Quote:

Play Stupid Games, Win Stupid Prizes..... Its that simple.

It's not dissimilar to cops who get fired or charged, they are burned at the social stake before the ink is dry, "friends" or not.
Exactly. Maybe just don't do crimes? Weird.Quote:

Throwing a tantrum on social media about how unreasonable it is for being held accountable for his actions solidifies what kind of person he is.
