Author Topic: Bad news from Margaret Hornady today (Read 5294 times)

Margaret Hornady has openly tossed her support to Democrat gun control advocate Bob Kerrey in Nebraska today. How someone who has inherited an easy living from the hunters and shooters of this great nation to support an idiot such as this I don't know. In my mind, this is totally unacceptable and I can't stand by quietly and watch this. I am at this time no longer going to support a company that does not support my rights.

I have sent an email to Hornady, feel free to do the same.

Wow. IIRC she's had a history as Mayor of being kind of a screwball.

It's a good thing I haven't bought their progressive press yet.

I am still pretty disappointed about Hornady's total lack of support for the NFOA

Links, we need links.

The story. Email address.

I buy nothing but Hornady because it's a Nebraska company.

It was on NTV at 5, there are no links on their site as of this time.

Hornady does a lot of great things for the Heartland shooting park in Grand Island, and for that I am appreciative.

I am pretty disappointed in them though as a company overall.... As they don't seem to want to do business with Nebraska firearms dealers. I have had several customers ask for Hornady stuff, and the Hornady "dealer pricing" is higher than what I can walk in to Scheels and buy it for... So I just tell my customers go to Scheels, or buy something other than Hornady.

Looks like I need to test out some Sierra and Speer bullets now...

I really like my Hornady equipment, and I've always liked their bullets

. The one or two times I've talked with their customer service has been great too

.

*sigh*

Time to fire up the troops! Get this message out to ALL of your contacts. Email Hornady from their website and let them know you will not purchase form them. FLOOD them with emails. Show them that the $5K the gave to Kerrey is going to cost them MUCH, MUCH more than that.

I'm glad I didn't but that ammo plant I was considering.

Just posted this on Hornady's contact page:

I was deeply disturbed to find out that Margaret Hornady-David and her husband have donated money to Bob Kerrey's Senate campaign and that Mrs. Hornady has officially endorsed him. Bob Kerrey carries an "F" rating from the NRA and openly supports attacks on our rights such as a ban on semiautomatic rifles. Hornady has been my number one choice for reloading components for years, but I can no longer in good faith use your products as long as prominent members of your company are associated with anti-gun politicians.

It is hidden behind her picture, they don't want it right out in front. Click on Hornady's picture and the caption comes up

Above post oops. Okay, looked up my own answer, which I`m getting lazy at. Steve Hornady is the pres. of Hornady manufact. Least thats what I just read. He also contributes to a lot of different causes. Pro hunting and shooting. Like many others I`m sure, I have spent a pile of money on Hornady ammo. I always try to buy NE. Dan commented Hornady has not supported the NFOA. Does anyone know a person who works for the company? I will inquire around here.

Chuck Matson · « **Reply #16 on:** October 13, 2012, 08:15:33 AM »

I will write the company. I noticed on their site they require non email correspondence. Hornady Manufacturing Company 3625 West Old Potash Hwy Grand Island NE 68803

Is she involved in the management of the company? It's a bit disheartening, but I wouldn't hold it against the company that the daughter of the founder is supporting Kerrey if she isn't involved in running the company.

Lorimor · « **Reply #18 on:** October 13, 2012, 09:59:51 AM »

Apparently she feels they sell too much product and wants Senator Bob to correct that problem.

And he and his fellow Dems are just the people to do it.

Husker_Fan · « **Reply #19 on:** October 13, 2012, 01:21:37 PM »

Or, she could be really savvy and wants to fuel some panic buying.
