When working in the customer service industry it's important to take a persons tone into consideration so as not to further frustrate or anger them, but by and large you ignore the tone and give them good customer service. It's just good business. I try to take that approach to the forums, because responding to a negative tone will almost always get you a flame war or a perception that the forum as a whole isn't helpful or is bombastic in it's overall tone, even though it's in response to an initial volley.
It is absolutely enough of a reason for busse to just say 'We don't ship this model to this country". If they said 'we're not giving any more reason than that, sorry' I'd say okay and just make assumptions about their reasons. But I wouldn't cease any thought on the subject of why. That they don't ship specifically oversea's effects those customers in those regions. But the statement doesn't directly apply to those in Canada or Mexico. If I were in Canada I'd wonder why they wouldn't ship to sweden, and if that would limit my ability to buy one since the policy is not stated on the website. The why in this case is likely because of a specific USPS restriction to various overseas countries regarding certain types of weapons. It's a starting point for looking into whether such restrictions exist for the many countries in north and south america that have potential customers in them that would pose this same question - without having to bug Jerry and crew for the answer. If there's a restriction on knuckle dusters or daggers to your particular country and your in south america your probably not going to get a shipment from Busse for that model.
Poorly phrased - but a legitimate question that should receive legitimate courteous answers.
