This hit my inbox late this afternoon.

Looks like S&W has finally decided to take action on its OOB discharges with the M&P 15-22!
"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace.
We seek not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

"Posterity! You will never know, how much it cost the present Generation, to preserve your Freedom! I hope you will make a good Use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in Heaven, that I ever took half the Pains to preserve it." - John Adams in a letter to Abigail, 26 April 1777

I received this as well. It's about time!
"where the body of the people, or any single man, is deprived of their right, or is under the exercise of a power without right, and have no appeal on earth, then they have a liberty to appeal to heaven, whenever they judge the cause of sufficient moment."

I hadn't received the notice, although I have one.  Thanks for posting.
"In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot."  Mark Twain

I think you mean they heard from a Large enough law firm from someone who was injured.  The way I have seen it viewed on other forums were we were blowing it out of proportion.  They only care about PR and how it affects the bottom line.
Last evening, it occurred to me that when a defender of Liberty is called home, their load lands upon the shoulders of the defenders left behind. Just as the Founders did their duty for Liberty, every subsequent generation must continue their work lest Liberty perish. As there is no way for the remaining adults to take on the work of those that die, we must pass the ideals and duties on to the children. -PHenery

I recommend reading the information sent out carefully, as this appears to be related to a different symptom than what Appleseed reported.

The Scholastic Action Shooting Program, part of SSSF, has just prohibited them from matches and from practices, too. Another OB detonation (no injuries, thankfully).
Can't figure out how they're related, but the counterbore on the rifle's bolt-face was checked and passed with a S&W-supplied gauge before and after the incident. I believe the insufficient counterbore issue relates to uncontrolled firing until the magazine is empty, though; just the thing you want to hand a new-to-shooting 12-year old kid, eh.
