Hortonville company BenShot – a manufacturer of handcrafted drinking glasses with a bullet embedded in the side – is forthcoming in its support for the Second Amendment.
That is why on Nov. 13, the father-and-son glassmaking company blasted out a press release to news media announcing its 16 full-time employees and several part-timers are getting a free gun for Christmas.
Within a day, news outlets worldwide – from Buzzfeed and Breitbart in the U.S., to London’s Daily Mail and Russia’s RT internationally – reported on the 3-year-old Hortonville business’s controversial act. |

The statistics cited by Nancy Jones are BS, because they aren't corrected for the fact that the majority of the data involves homes that are involved in drug- or gang-related activities.
Incorporating that data into the totals is dishonest, and gives a distorted picture of lawful firearm ownership. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
