JR Cox comments on the Swiss Arms situation

Way to go TSE, never bought or had any experience with you guys but imo, that was a class act. Now lets use this to motivate us to push forward and fight for what we want. Show the CPC that we demand they fight for us and the RCMP that we will no longer sit back idly and let them trample all over us.
 
that sounds good. but remember canadians and north americans are too pussy to actually do anything about it. writing letters seems to be the only thing anyone is willing to do. i think it would be great if canadians had some balls and actually revolted like the ukranians or venezualans.

Not really the same thing. If we had silly inflation, high jobless rate and a shadow economy then maybe you would see revolt here. Writing, calling and getting the word out is (and will be) effective.

I foresee the Feds acting early next week. This could work to our favor. If we keep pushing.
 
I think Boycotting this business will not help anyone, it might make some of the people feel better but it is no help. All it will do is help the government and the RCMP win their battle and make us weaker. You have a business who has admitted they did something that caused unforeseen action and is now willing to do something about it and is fighting mad. It would be good for all of us including TSE to us this energy fight the RCMP and fight hard, for the greater good of our fun and enjoyable sport. We should focus all our negativity on this instead of trying to destroy someones business.
Some people on here with their own business should refect on mistakes they have made and thank god that people haven't tried to close them down for making mistakes.
 
That is how you "man up"
Would it be so hard for our elected officials to act in the same manner?
I accept that apology. It was sincere, honest and without a doubt legit.
 
Thank you for this JR, it does not correct what happened but it does make steps in a better direction.

Is there any way the documents that were provided to the RCMP showing lineage of the Swiss Arms rifles in question can be released to the public?
 
Doesn't change what he did, but it is a straightforward apology and owning up. Apologies seldom to never are enough however, nothing is, and I believe that's the case here. He may well have rendered hundreds of $3,000 rifles worthless paperweights and risks being on the hook for some portion of the value of every imported Swiss Arms rifle his company handled, as he was the one who flagged the rifles as possibly being prohibited (in a dig at a competitor no less). This implies his company may have handled and sold hundreds of prohibited firearms for which some modicum of responsibility may be placed on him by customers or worse, and he's the one who brought the heat about, albeit unintentionally. Of course he's sorry. :)

This all said, the video was a good step in the right direction. It was just a very severe mistake.
 
It would have happened eventually anyways, the RCMP appear to be shark looking for an opportunity, a weakness and if they find one they will go all the way. The only way to fight it is to be shark too and bite back till they swim away. Fighting back on this issue is a must and we are, it's time that the government put a shorter leach on their guard dog.
 
To all,

The documents I have cannot be posted publicly as I promised the interested parties I would not, but after I get back from IWA, I am glad to show people on a one-on-one basis.

If anyone disbelieves the actual existence, I am sure a couple of independents on here will chime in to confirm them.

Also, there is a ton of background activity going on that I am personally involved in that may change the entire course of things. Again, I am involved because I can keep confidences, keep a level head and don't publish everything to the internet willy-nilly.

Remember, the RCMP embarrassed and lied to the government. Nothing good comes from those types of activities.

Sincerely,

JR
 
Way to take responsibility for your actions and put things into context JR. You have earned back my business to TSE. I was prepared to do an indefinite boycott.

Good luck in the battle ahead.
 
JR, Thank you for the response with regard to the documents and I do not doubt the existance of them.

It would be great if this can be turned into a positive outcome for the firearms community in Canada.

JR, I know you on a personal level. We have done buisiness on many things and talked several times. I respect you for putting out this video to clear the air and i also know that you will do everything in your power to change what has happened. I talked to Heather yesterday and im coming in tomorrow to renew my membership and do some shooting :)

To all who doubt JR in this case.

I have seen the documentation in question. It quite clearly spells out what he has been trying to tell everyone. SAN requested that the info not be posted in any sort of public forum. It took trust for JR to let me see them, as I had previously posted information SAN did not want online. JR and TSE and others involved are trying their best to fix this. What is CSC doing??? Nothing!!! JB firmly stands upon his pedestal claiming that he did nothing wrong, and since he did nothing wrong, and refuses to admit that the rifles he imported were in fact illegal and the cause of this whole mess. He claims the rifles he imported are "no different from the classic green anyway" so what he did (according to him) wasn't actually illegal.
