[yodave]

The age old Indian Chief head logo offended some overly sensitive type, figures it stands for savage killers

I hate society

I read that this morning. Still shaking my head. She probably stepped over a homeless guy on her way into the store. There are a thousand worthy causes to ##### about......this ain't one of them.

take the decal off. it's not rocket surgery

I hate this stupidity. My local CT had to remove the rails from the chiappa little badger because they looked scary.

I think Arthur Savage and Chief Lame Deer would have a good laugh at this if they were still alive...

My response would be: If you don't like the logo, buy another brand!

But, then again, those that are complaining quite likely do not have a firearms license...

And even though it's not some PC weeny cries racism and will probably get their way.

Even explaining the origin to her likely won't make any difference, as she appears to have issues.

If I was native I'd take it as a compliment. Mind you I'm already the definition of accuracy

I wonder how Donald Trump would have handled that situation?

 

[koesdibyo]

her being offended, offends me. We should remove her from the planet, immediately.

 

[Mike Webb]

Nothing quite like society today. The majority seem to find some grounds to take offense at almost anything. IDIOTS!!!

Although, thinking about it some more.... she claims she is of an Aboriginal background, and the history of the logo mean nothing because it doesn't make a difference. So essentially her thought process is; in today's day and age, what happened back then doesn't matter. Wonder how she'd feel if all treaties were treated the same way.

Happened long, long, long ago... and it's now modern times, where "it doesn't matter what happened back then". So #### it; I'd be down for having Savage change their logo in the benefit of not having to honour the agreements any more.

Can't have your cake, and eat it too.

It would be much simpler and easier to ban "Her" from the store.

I love the Savage logo!

Political correctness - A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

 

[G-Man_Quagmire]

I hate society

I agree.

 

[c-fbmi]

This is just pure BULLSH!T !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[nowarningshot]

Entirely possible that they find firearms insulting, the name and logo simply puts a politically correct spin to a anti argument.

The vast majority of comments are supportive of the brand and store, a few persecuted by settlers want change and are dragging out every ism they can find.

We need to hit this with overwhelming support. A major national retailer that carries firearms and ammo makes our sport mainstream.

One can tell that Looky is upset....lookinese generator is broken.....like when a scotsman starts talking in brogue. Opps politically incorrect of all the Lookinese out there.....lol
