Smith and Wesson's new tweet is a plug for Proud Boys [1]

['Mark Frauenfelder']

Date: 2023-02-27

In June, the U.S. Department of Justice indicted the leader of Proud Boys and four other members for Seditious Conspiracy and other offenses related to the Capitol breach. Today, the far-right facists are poster boys for Smith & Wesson. The gun manufacturer tweeted a photo of a man holding a rifle and wearing a "PB" T-Shirt. PB stands for Perception Brand. It has nothing to do with the Proud Boys, apart from having logos that share more than a passing likeness.

For some reason, the brave folks at Smith & Wesson turned off comments on the tweet.
