Quote HistoryQuoted:
Totenkopf pre-dates the Nazis, much like the Swastika. Don't let the ignorant conscript history. Yeah, well, so did the tooth brush mustache, too. Good luck wearing any of those things out in public and not getting "WTF, are you a Nazi?" looks in public, as those symbols are forever tainted by those people (or until the memory of the Nazi's fades away). They are fucking stupid for using it, and people will rightfully ask, "Why do you have a Nazi symbol on your firearm products, are you Nazi's? Why would you use that symbol if you're not Nazi's?" |

I will grant it's a poor marketing move, simply because it's a shitty design. On the use of the Death's Head, let people who want to be ruled by knee jerk emotion get rule by knee jerk emotions. This is no different then people who get upset at the sight of a Confederate flag or Redskin on the side of a football helmet. Yes it's similar to the SS Totenkopt, hell it may be from the Nazi flash art section at the local tattoo parlor. However the Death's Head has an original meaning of outlaws, pirates, death, and danger. Damn, I hate wearing a flame suit all the time..... Quote HistoryQuoted:

Doesn't matter if it predates or not. It is in bad taste and will attract an unfortunate crowd. Marketing is the art of making ones products or services desirable. This will alienate a lot of people.

The very fact that you have to explain it, means that they fucked up by using it. They could've just used the "jolly roger" skull and crossbones, but no, they grabbed the one off of an SS officer's hat.

I see that the new logo is not found anywhere on their website.
Weird, I wonder why. 
http://www.smithenterprise.com/index.html Hmm, it isn't seen in their press release photo of their booth at SHOT, as well. (looks like the guy who runs the place is wearing one of the new shirts, but the logo is obscured by the rifle in his hands) http://smithenterpriseinc.blogspot.com/2013/12/press-release-smith-enterprise-shot.html 
It's almost like, their PR guy knows that putting that logo out there would be stepping on their dick, but its totally not an SS logo, so its cool.

Keep on 13'ing, bro. Buy any stuff made in China which is a regime known for genocide? Ah yes 13'r - I choose to join a culture and community of gun owners who are persecuted by anti-gun activists, and our insecure members attempt to ostracize new members. Great way to create a divided house, and too bad you are not focused on being a part of the solution instead of antagonizing other gun owners.

The nazis can't trademark all the SS skulls.
Wonderful explanation. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
So you are still whining about their choice instead of politely disagreeing and choosing not to purchase their products if so indicated. So glad we are not friends, you arriving to a party would be like two funny and nice people leaving. That's precisely what I'm doing. Perhaps you should take a remedial English class? |

No thank you, but thank you for taking time out of your day for an interest in me. See, and I was worried I would not find anything nice to say about you, and you show yourself to be a very caring person. That is so nice of you. Thank you for making me feel special, have a great day! |

You don't seem to understand how freedom of speech works. They have the right to use Nazi symbols in their logo, but we're also free to say that doing so is retarded. Get it now? Quote HistoryQuoted:

Quoted:
The war is over and I do not live in fear of Hitler or symbols used by Nazis. Move on with life. No one is living in fear. It's a matter of extremely poor taste. If you have to go cliche and use a skull and bones - don't use the same ones the SS used. Jesus, it's not that hard. You are dwelling on the past. Love it when someone on a firearms website is complaining about someone's right to free speech because you have outed yourself as not respecting the rights of others. Nazi Germany is gone and complaining about the use of similar symbols only extends the fear. My neighbor can paint a swastika in his yard for all I care. You don't seem to understand how freedom of speech works. They have the right to use Nazi symbols in their logo, but we're also free to say that doing so is retarded. Get it now? They always seem to forget that second part, don't they. |
