If the profits are used in an illegal manner, then I agree with you that those profits can be used in a bad way. However, just amassing wealth is not bad and being poor or shunning wealth doesn't equal good. There is no morality here.
Vista selling off some gun related assets is a business decision. They're afraid of the negative public opinion associated with guns due to what the press is telling them. Again, not a morality issue, a strength of the company issue.
If Savage is making mad profits, then this is a bad decision. However, if Savage is just holding its own, maybe it's a good decision for Vista. Like I said, I'd love to buy Savage. I feel it's a money making company that can do well if run properly.
