While small businessmen struggle to survive in an environment that is seeking to mandate employer paid health care, higher

wages without an increase in compensation for services and continued and expansive bureaucratic demands, the Fortune 500

comfortably employs overseas workers and seems to acquiesce to any government demand.

So much for looking out after the little guy. The American small businessman provides 75% (according to SBA) of all new jobs

in America, and he does not enjoy the luxury of inuence garnered by playing golf with U.S. Senators.

My youngest recollection of American opportunity is that it was available to all, guaranteed by government, and awarded for

excellence.

My study of American history, the United States Constitution, and my acquaintance with the lively and independent lot of gun

enthusiasts I have met in my quest to become an American gun manufacturer has reinforced this view; that it is the essence

of American culture to place excellence above all else. Unfortunately, some of this sturdy self-reliant culture has withered by

corrosive government policy.

The engravings on the 9C1 handgun have been selected to remind us of the culture America’s Founders intended to leave

posterity.

I still believe a system that rewards excellence above all else is worth encouraging and protecting, regardless of political up-

heavals and ignoble efforts by man’s ambition that venture to subjugate those lofty ideals.

Naive me.
