Gun manufacturer Smith & Wesson expressed gratitude to Elon Musk for his commitment to free speech after getting banned by censorship-happy Facebook.

The iconic American company recently had its Facebook account suspended after fifteen years, once again showing that the only major platform not ruled by leftist ideology is X, which the billionaire Tesla/SpaceX CEO bought in 2022, a move that may one day be seen by historians as the one that saved the country from despotism.

In a Wednesday post to X, Smith & Wesson explained what happened and praised Musk for supporting both of the two amendments that are essential for the preservation of American freedom.

“Despite our extensive efforts and resources spent on trying to adhere to Facebook’s ever-changing community guidelines on firearms, our account was suspended indefinitely on Friday, November 22nd, 15 years after its original creation,” the gunmaker said. “In an era where free speech and the right to bear arms are under constant attack, we want to thank @elonmusk and @X for supporting free speech and our constitutional rights guaranteed by the 1st and 2nd Amendments.”

“While we work to reinstate our account, we encourage our 1.6 million Facebook followers and fans to seek out platforms that represent these shared values,” the post read.

Musk responded to Smith & Wesson, writing “We restored the gun emoji and believe in the Constitution.”

Second Amendment advocacy group The National Association for Gun Rights, which has a membership of 4.5 million, also gave Musk kudos.

“It is becoming clear that X is one of the last major bastions of 2A and Firearms content on social media,” the group said in another post, adding, “The noose is slowly tightening everywhere else, seeking to squeeze us out entirely.”

Andy Stone, a former Democrat apparatchik who’s now the communications director for Facebook parent, Meta, said that Smith & Wesson’s account was “suspended in error and that it has since been restored,” according to Fox News Digital.

It’s another one of those “errors” that always seem to only go one way.

Founded in 1852, Smith & Wesson is based in Maryville, Tennessee, and is one of the most recognizable and popular firearm brands in America.

“Since 1852 Smith & Wesson has empowered Americans with the freedom, equality, and security promised by the Declaration of Independence and guaranteed by the Bill of Rights. It is this sense of safety and security that frees us to pursue our goals and dreams, define our future, and fulfill the promise of America,” the company states on its website.
