Manufacturers Support

Manufacturers who support the 2nd Amendment are very cognizant of the problems we freedom-loving people face right now.  Many of us believe that the police are simply citizens who do full time what every citizen should do part-time.  Many of us look on disgust with the laws that allow police to have things that law-abiding citizens cannot have.  The manufacturers are supporting the 2nd Amendment by restricting sales to law enforcement and state agencies to just exactly those items that the citizens of that state are allowed to purchase.

As far as I can tell, LaRue Tactical started this boycott with a simple Facebook post.
Effective today, in an effort to see that no legal mistakes are made by LaRue Tactical and/or its employees, we will apply all current State and Local Laws (as applied to civilians) to state and local law enforcement / government agencies. In other words, LaRue Tactical will limit all sales to what law-abiding citizens residing in their districts can purchase or possess.

State and local laws have always been a serious focus of this firm, and we are now dovetailing that focus with the constitutional rights of the residents covered in their different areas by the old and new regulations.

LaRue Tactical posted that on February 8th.  As far as I can tell, the following manufacturers/retailers have followed suit.
Olympic Arms
Extreme Firepower LLC
Templar Custom
Cheaper Than Dirt
Smith Enterprise
 Spikes Tactical
Alex Arms
York Arms

There is a rumor that Midway USA is considering joining the boycott.  If you've got a few minutes, drop Larry Potterfield a line.  I'm sure that he knows about the boycott and we'd love to see him on board.  Midway's contact page is here.  Send an email.

Now, if we could get Glock, Smith & Wesson, Colt, and Remington on board, maybe the state legislatures would start to see the light.

A rep at Armalite apparently has stated that they will NOT be following suit. I know where my money will NOT be going.

Too bad Brownells wouldn't join in.
