After its Facebook account was indefinitely suspended, the popular American gun manufacturer Smith & Wesson thanked Elon Musk and X for supporting free speech amid what it called ongoing attacks against the First and Second Amendments.
In a Friday post on X, Smith & Wesson announced that it had been indefinitely suspended from Facebook after the platform flagged several of its posts for promoting the sale of weapons.
Founded in 1852 in Norwich, Connecticut, today Smith & Wesson is based in Maryville, Tennessee, and is one of the most recognized gun brands in America, reporting $535.8 million in sales in the 2024 fiscal year.
Smith & Wesson said that âdespite our extensive efforts and resources spent on trying to adhere to Facebookâs ever-changing community guidelines on firearms, our account was suspended indefinitely on Friday, November 22nd, 15 years after its original creation.â
Musk responded to the post by saying, â[we] believe in the Constitution.â He also pointed out that X had resumed allowing users to post the gun emoji after it was replaced by a water gun by Twitter in 2018.
The National Association for Gun Rights, which is a Second Amendment advocacy group with over 4.5 million activists, also chimed in, saying, âThank you for giving us a place to shelter in this storm of Constitution-hating companies.â
In a separate post, the association called X one of the last holdouts for free speech and gun rights.
âIt is becoming clear that X is one of the last major bastions of 2A and Firearms content on social media,â said the group, adding, âthe noose is slowly tightening everywhere else, seeking to squeeze us out entirely.â
Fox News Digital reached out to Meta for comment but had not heard back at the time of publication.
I donât know man, People knocking Elon, Trump, and his Cabinet appointeeâsâŠMakes me a little 
wondering if ANY of these Mookâs want (4) more years of SSDD! (Thatâs Same Sh!t Different Day for those followinâ @ home!) Did any of you âDO BETTERâ under that Tyrannical Regime? Did any of us Prosper like we did under Trump 1.0? All I saw was an erosion of Rights and freedomâs, Weaponized Alphabetâs against Citizens, RACIAL UNREST BY THAT ADMINISTRATION (and more)
Who the Fxxk would want another run with those Mental Rejects? Not I thatâs for sure.
This Zuckerberg character? I donât get him. To me it sounds like âSomebody, Somewhere has Something on himâ For him to keep stepping on his Dik, A rational person HAS to say âThat ainât right?â
but for some entity thatâs suppose to be âOpen to allâ it sure seems FACE-PLANT has it in for the First N Second Amendments.
I GET IT! WHY, this Bidem Regime wants Gun Manufactures out of business, A DISARMED POPULUS is a COMPLIANT Populus⊠But WE THE PEOPLE ARE ALREADY ARMED TO THE TEETH! so it seems kinda Stoopid to try and do an end-run on Gun builders, FFLâs, Ammo suppliers etc?. Seems to me THEY would run out of Boolits before we do? (And they would sure need more boolits if they had another (4) years in power.
I think â Zuckâ should have a Vacation in GITMO with Diddy Diddy dum diddy do!, Share a cell!
