Cooper Supports Obama...

[Rustystud]

See this link. It will make you sick. It also will convince you to never buy a Cooper Rifle.

More executives sold on Obama - USATODAY.com

Boy the boo boo is really hitting the fan already across the internet on this one. I am sure the Cooper email box is overflowing.

Kimber is saying that was the best marketing move that Cooper could have made for Kimber!

Just another reason I want be buying any Coopers...

I suspect you would find a number of other gun companies and their brass supporting Obama but not publically. The big boys usually support both sides.

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.

Andy:

Very well written. My e-mail to Cooper was returned undeliverable.

I ahd just posted about this on my blog. Cooper may very well be defunct by the end of the day!!

[WildcatB]

Thanks for the info. I WAS saving up for a Cooper Varminter 22-250 AI. Will look for something else now. My cousin is about to buy a Cooper for his upcoming deer hunt. I'll email that article to him. I'm sure this will change his mind too.

It is amazing how many smart people support the very philosophy that countered their rise to success. Some billionaires also support Obama, that is of course, after they amassed their wealth first. This comes to show that intelligence is a poor substitute for common sense.

 

[Nomosendero]

I recently thought about a Cooper in 280AI or a Varmiter in 204. I won't even look at one now. he can stick it!!

 

[MER0828]

I sent them an email letting them know how upset I was with their decisions and any Cooper rifle I owned is now worth almost nothing for resale and has become a poor investment.

 

[MontanaRifleman]

Has anyone checked the Cooper web site's response to this?

I tried to send a e-mail and it was returned undeliverable. I assume they were covered up with e-mails. I have seen their response indicating the donation to Obama was to help him defeat Hillary. I also saw where they have now given to the Mcain cause.

I want comment on their loyalties or their wisdom. Nor will comment on other companies who get into their canoe, when they are up the creek. It will be real ineresting to read the Shooting Retailer, the NSSF Shot Show pubication and the NRAs response.

It would appear that Cooper has taken a page from the typical liberal anti-gun strategy by removing their dealer list link from their web site as a preemptive response to the huge fall-out that is sure to follow. An apology by Cooper, at this point, will not cut it for this gun owner, as the harm of the money and propoganda value gifted to the Obama campaign can not be undone. "No more Coopers for me"! A great and heartfelt thanks to all firearm owners who support this action to force Cooper out of business, at this point a simple boycott will not be sufficient.

According to the Federal Election Commision that does NOT appear to be true!

However, it is obvious that Mr. Cooper himself does not share the same feelings!

Mr. Cooper made MULTIPLE donations to the Obama campaign as evidenced here:

Contributions to Presidential Campaigns - Election Guide 2008 - The New York Times

Type in the zip code for Cooper Firearms location, and watch what pops up! Zip Code is 59870.

No such campaign contributions for McCain show up!!
