Gun Companies Refuse Sales
to State Governments
with Strict Gun Laws

Breitbart´s Big Government, by Kerry Picket

Original Article

Posted By:Dreadnought, 2/16/2013 9:14:59 AM

Six gun companies have announced plans to stop selling any of their products to any government agency in states that severely limit the rights of private gun ownership. Disappointed with New York State lawmakers and other jurisdictions around the country who have passed strict gun control legislation, the companies—composed of firearm manufacturers, gunsmiths, and sporting goods retailers—have announced these policies in the past week. Their various statements emphasize that such laws create a class of government employees with rights and and a class of citizens without rights

They´ve finally had enough! Good for them!

Most amusing! It´ll be pretty interesting when the cops have to go to the gang-bangers for armament...

A bit less amusing is the few billion hollow point rounds the Feds are stockpiling. Guess ´ammo banned in international warfare´ isn´t too good for the American public.

And of course the ´target practice´ excuse is totally bogus - unless government just thinks paying 45% more for hollow points to shoot at paper is a ´good use of taxpayer monies´...

As noted in Alice in Wonderland - "Curiouser and curiouser..."

Great idea! However, I was hoping it would be some of the largest gun manufacturers. Wouldn´t it be great if Glock, S&W, etc., would not sell to states that disregard our Second Amendment.

Wow! The companies that manufacture ammunition should follow this example as well!

Let´s see if there is going to be any backlash now from the Department of Injustice......

NOW It´s time for the TOP gun manufaturers to join the effort. Ruger, Sig, Glock, Beretta, S&W, etc. PLUS all the ammunition manufacturers.

Can the gun companies teach the Republican party how to organize like this?

I read a science fiction story in Analog about 30-40 years ago where the corporations did just this. All corporations. If you worked for such a government you couldn´t get gas, food, service, etc. Neither could the governments. And the corporations had their own military, so the governments couldn´t successfully use force.

Today in the US the people are their own military to prevent government use of force. Perhaps more companies should stop doing business with totalitarian leaning governments such as ours, to shove them firmly back inside the confines of the constitutional boundary set a few centuries back in the greatest political experiment in mankind´s history.

Many gun companies, such as Ruger and S&W, are publically traded and cannot do this. However, I don´t believe Glock and Baretta are. If Glock were to halt sales of guns, parts, or any such support, the blue-suited, jackbooted (tm) thugocracy would grind to a halt. Go for it, Glaston!

I´m with #8...let Federal and the other ammo suppliers tell Uncle Obama that he has enough ammo, and their private sales now take precedent. That´s assuming that these companies aren´t in cahoots...someone is making money, whether from the government sales contracts or the rising cost of private ammo driven by the old supply-demand curve. Some call that a win-win.

Glock won´t do it--that´s my guess. They would lose too much money. Hadn´t thought of the "publicly-traded" angle for the other guys, but I expect that would indeed keep them from joining in--unless the shareholders voted to do so. I´m just hoping some of these on-board guys have specialty items that the cops really, really want.

It wouldn’t hurt if gun buyers let the publicly held manufacturers know that their nest purchase will be only from one those companies that are boycotting.


Reply 21 - Posted by: tomanderson61, 2/16/2013 11:50:54 AM     (No. 9180061)

Don´t get too excited folks.

Many police departments allow officers to buy their own equipment from a list of allowed firearms, and they are free to pass over the department provided gun.

Police and government agencies elsewhere could follow the same program--agents get their own guns and get reimbursed for them.

So this is a good in terms of standing up for something, but in a practical sense does nothing.

FTA: "...a class of government employees with rights and and a class of citizens without rights." Yup! That about sums it up.

It would me nice if firearms purchasers in non-2nd Amendment abusing states were to inform the big gun manufacturers (e.g., Sig Sauer, S&W, H&R) that their pending purchases will only go to a company that has put its profits where its principles are.

It would also be nice if we stopped depending on others, like John Roberts, et al., to protect our freedoms. When was the last time you called, e-mailed or wrote expressing your displeasure/fears?

Then there is Ted "Gallo con Peine Grande" Cruz and his letter to Rahm Emmanuel and gun manufacturers...BOLD!

Oh, well. States that restrict citizen gun rights would probably be happier with buying Comm-block weapons anyway.

LONDON — British police late Thursday arrested a man and a woman in connection with the butchering of a British soldier on a London street, as anti-Muslim protests sprang up across the country. The arrests fueled speculation that the gruesome knife attack Wednesday — the first successful terrorist act in Britain since 2005 — was part of a wider plot, and prompted questions about the prevalence of Islamic extremism in the country and how to combat it. British officials moved quickly to increase security in London and other major cities Thursday as police raided

Three days of hearings have shown that IRS scrutiny of conservative organizations extended beyond a few rogue employees in Cincinnati, that the agency staged its announcement of the bad news to try to limit the damage, and that the White House knew more, and knew it earlier, than it first admitted. Republicans argue that they also uncovered evidence that the auditor’s report could have been completed months ago — even before the November elections. They also said an internal IRS investigation confirmed the untoward behavior as early as July 2012.

Let us stipulate that now might not be the best time — with IRS officials exposed for abusing power, caught in self-serving deceptions, invoking their constitutional right against self-incrimination — to dramatically expand the authority and size of their agency. But this is what Obamacare requires. Thousands of new IRS agents will implement 40-odd provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act — the exact number is a matter of dispute since the law itself is so confusing. The largest tax law and social policy change in a generation will be imposed

For the past five years, beginning with his first presidential campaign, Barack Obama has promised that his government would be the most open and transparent in American history. Recently, while stating that he makes “no apologies” for his Justice Department’s investigations into suspected leaks of classified information, the president added that “a free press, free expression and the open flow of information helps hold me accountable, helps hold our government accountable and helps our democracy function.” Then, in his National Defense University speech Thursday, Obama said he was “troubled

“Horrible customer service.” That’s what the newly fired IRS commissioner averred was the agency’s only sin in singling out conservative political groups for discriminatory treatment. In such grim proceedings one should be grateful for unintended humor. Horrible customer service is when every patron in a restaurant finds a fly in his soup. But when the maitre d’ screens patrons for their politics and only conservatives find flies paddlewheeling through their consomme, the problem is not poor service. It is harassment and invidious discrimination. And yet two IRS chiefs (Steven Miller and Douglas Shulman) insisted that the singling-out of groups according

As the above chart taken from an official IRS PowerPoint presentation confirms, Lois Lerner, who yesterday pleaded the fifth and refused to answer questions, was second only to Deputy Commissioner Joseph H.

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, whose career in public life came to an abrupt end when he sent lewd pictures to a college student on Twitter, jumped back into politics on Wednesday by announcing a bid for mayor of New York City. “Look, I’ve made some big mistakes and I know I’ve let a lot of people down,” the Democrat said in a 2-minute video announcing his bid. “But I’ve also learned some tough lessons. I’m running for mayor because I’ve been fighting for the middle class and those struggling to make it for my entire life.

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

Very excited to graduate for my master´s degree in Chicano studies!
