Sidearms & Scatterguns Heckler & Koch Hack! - Check out the letter that HK dealers just received! - UPDATED 5/8

[jb1000br]

So we got a disturbing letter from HK today stating that they were no longer importing their firearms to the US - then we found out it is fake - check it out!

This was a high quality hack for sure! Craziness!

Reminds me of our local Cabelas and Bass Pro when a guy walked in with a Bowtech shirt on, said he was their rep and that all the bows were recalled and he needed to take them with him. Not as elaborate, but he got them all. Was there any request to transfer the firearms somewhere? Crazy stuff.

Wow...somebody really hates HK.

Definitely a fake. No self respecting German (and they all are.....) could ever bring themselves to deviate from using the "day/month/year" format. This letter uses the "American" version, which is "month/day/year" format.

Definitely an anti 2nd amendment author. I am curious as to the underlying intent of this letter.

Old news, but some may have missed it. Perhaps it provided the inspiration. As for the end-game -- it could be brilliantly diabolical, or utterly stoopid. There seems to be no limit to how pointless people bent on destruction rather than creation can be.

It's funny because H&K doing this is totally believable.

Good catch!

UPDATE - responsibility claimed - new letter received:

Perhaps respond by offering support, but saying while you consider the support as a token to prove that they are not really in league with the evil arms dealing burgermister you need naked picture of Jessica Graber.

That's a lawyer's wet dream right there. The apology letter seals the deal. Get all they have and all they ever will have.

What I don't get is why they're calling it a hack. What was hacked? It's a hoax.

You can go on the USA site and get every dealer's information. Not really hacking.

FYI the U.S. Military uses day month year format
