Growing number of gun manufacturers refusing to sell to NY law enforcement

Loading

Last Friday TheBlaze reported on a growing list of gun manufacturers and retailers who had stopped selling to law enforcement in states that were enacting stringent new gun laws.

Since that report, the initial list (seen below) has changed. However, none of the “big three” (Glock, Sig Sauer, Smith & Wesson) providers to law enforcement have stepped up and joined the companies who have chosen to take a public stand on the issue. In less than two weeks, at least 18 companies have made the decision to stop selling to law enforcement in states that limit a private citizen’s right to own a gun.

Olympic Arms, Inc
La Rue Tactical
EFI, LLC – Extreme Firepower
York Arms
Templar Custom
Cheaper Than Dirt

There is one arms maker that has gotten attention for publicly stating that they will not be pressured into stopping sales to law enforcement. That company is ArmaLite.

According to posts on several gun-supporting blog sites, Armalite answered email inquires with some unwelcome attitude. This is the reply reportedly sent from a sales rep identified as Pat Raley.

Dear concerned gun owner,

First of all I would like to say thank you for filling my email with all this spam email.

Second, I am not sure where you got this blanket email from to send out as spam, but please stop it.

Third, The manufacturer is not the one you need to convince.

You need to convince the law enforcement agencies and the common people about their mistake in electing these officials and have them removed. Again NOT the manufacture.

Guess the cops will have to use straw purchasers.

@Richard Aubrey:

Guess the cops will have to use straw purchasers.

Why not? Our federal government did and all it cost was the lives of a few hundred Mexicans and an American Border Patrol Agent.

Does this mean I will get my ammo sooner?

Well, I guess that makes my shopping decisions easier. Armalite is off the list.

Maybe my next pistol will be a Taurus.

Stay away from this sick company, besides…didn’t bushmaster fail??? And Windham succeed??
