Smith & Wesson Thank Musk For Free Speech Site After Facebook Account Gets Suspended

After its Facebook account was suspended, gun makers Smith & Wesson thanked Elon Musk for supporting free speech.

Smith & Wesson announced that it had been suspended for promoting the sale of weapons.

And this is after having an account there for 15 years.

Founded in 1852 in Norwich, Connecticut, they’re one of the most recognized gun brands in America with $535.8 million in sales this year.

I think its fair to say that Americans haven’t stopped buying guns, despite the Left’s fear-mongering against it.

Hearing they were booted by Facebook has a lot of people saying they know what they’re going to buy for Christmas.

America’s gun collecting continues, despite what the Establishment does to discourage it.

Fox News reports:

After its Facebook account was indefinitely suspended, the popular American gun manufacturer Smith & Wesson thanked Elon Musk and X for supporting free speech amid what it called ongoing attacks against the First and Second Amendments.

In a Friday post on X, Smith & Wesson announced that it had been indefinitely suspended from Facebook after the platform flagged several of its posts for promoting the sale of weapons.

Founded in 1852 in Norwich, Connecticut, today Smith & Wesson is based in Maryville, Tennessee, and is one of the most recognized gun brands in America, reporting $535.8 million in sales in the 2024 fiscal year.

Smith & Wesson said that “despite our extensive efforts and resources spent on trying to adhere to Facebook’s ever-changing community guidelines on firearms, our account was suspended indefinitely on Friday, November 22nd, 15 years after its original creation.”

Interesting how all the social media sites are so afraid of citizens even having an icon of a gun.

Elon Musk pointed this out a few months ago:
