Hey NY agencies... No sale to you!

[tacdriver]

Thought I would share a pretty cool read...
'
In a nut shell, some companies decide not to sell to NY police or NY government agencies... Not sure about you all but if this is true, I support them!

If more companies would suspend/boycott sales to the state government and toe the line... well heck you get where I’m going with that. Reminds me of Barretts position that he would no longer sell to law enforcement in California

Here’s the link

the real prize would be to convince glock to join.... _THAT_ more than anything else would get their attention.

I'll be contacting Glock for exactly that reason...I won't hold my breath though.

Barrett Firearms Manufacturing boycotts California Law Enforcement

“It’s hard to believe we live in such a dark time that someone has actually banned a single shot rifle. But as you will see, this is the cleverest of all gun bans, and the end goal is civilian disarmament, the confiscation of your tools of liberty, your rifles…”

“Barrett cannot legally sell any of its products to lawbreakers. Therefore, since California’s passing of AB50, the state is not in compliance with the US Constitution’s 2nd and 14th Amendments, and we will not sell nor service any of our products to any government agency of the State of California.

York Arms cancels all orders from New York Law Enforcement & Government Entities

York Arms, based in Buxton, ME, has cancelled all orders from New York Law Enforcement and Government entities. A statement on the company’s website reads:

Based on the recent legislation in New York, we are prohibited from selling rifles and receivers to residents of New York. We have chosen to extend that prohibition to all governmental agencies associated with or located within New York. As a result we have halted sales of rifles, short barreled rifles, short barreled shotguns, machine guns, and silencers to New York governmental agencies.

For “civilian” customers residing in New York:

At your choice, we will:
Complete your order and ship to a dealer of your choice outside of NY
Refund your payment in full
Hold your items here for up to 6 months, at no charge – if you are in the process of leaving NY and taking residence in another state.

For LE/Govt customers in New York:

Your orders have been cancelled.

LaRue Tactical restricts sales to New York Law Enforcement & Government Organizations

LaRue Tactical, based in Leander, TX, has issued a press release stating that in order to avoid “legal mistakes” and “potential lawsuits” (gotta love the tongue-in-cheek!), the company will subject the firearms sold to NY-affiliated LEO/Govt agencies, to the same limits and restrictions as New York is subjecting its citizens to.

NEWS RELEASE:

02/08/2012 LEANDER, TX.

Updated Policy for State and Local Agency Law Enforcement Sales:

Due to the recent and numerous new Anti-gun/Anti-2nd Amendment laws passed and/or pending across our country, LaRue Tactical has been forced to reconsider how we provide products to state and local agencies.

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.

We realize this effort will have an impact on this firm’s sales – and have decided the lost sales are less danger to this firm than potential lawsuits from erroneous shipments generated by something as simple as human error.

Thanks in advance for your understanding.

Mark LaRue

Olympic Arms, Inc. stops all sales to New York Law Enforcement, First Responders, and Government Entities

Olympic Arms, Inc., based in Olympia, WA, has stopped all sales to New York LEO’s, First Responders, and government-affiliated entities. The company vows to withhold its products from New York officials until the legislation is repealed – and an apology is made. Olympic Arms’ decision is stated in the following press release posted on its official Facebook page:

Press Release: Olympic Arms, Inc. Announces New York State Sales Policy

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Olympic Arms is a staunch believer in and defender of the Constitution of the United States, and with special attention paid to the Bill of Rights that succinctly enumerates the security of our Divinely given Rights. One of those Rights is that to Keep and Bear Arms.

Legislation recently passed in the State of New York outlaws the AR15 and many other firearms, and will make it illegal for the good and free citizens of New York to own a large selection of legal and safe firearms and magazines. We feel as though the passage of this legislation exceeds the authority granted to the government of New York by its citizens, and violates the Constitution of the United States, ignoring such SCOTUS rulings as District of Columbia v. Heller – 554, U.S. 570 of 2008, McDonald v. Chicago – 561 U.S. 3025 of 2010, and specifically the case of United States v. Miller – 307 U.S. 174 of 1939.

Due the passing of this legislation, Olympic Arms would like to announce that the State of New York, any Law Enforcement Departments, Law Enforcement Officers, First Responders within the State of New York, or any New York State government entity or employee of such an entity – will no longer be served as customers.

In short, Olympic Arms will no longer be doing business with the State of New York or any governmental entity or employee of such governmental entity within the State of New York – henceforth and until such legislation is repealed, and an apology made to the good people of the State of New York and the American people.

If the leaders of the State of New York are willing to limit the right of the free and law abiding citizens of New York to arm themselves as they see fit under the Rights enumerate to all citizens of the United State through the Second Amendment, we feel as though the legislators and government entities within the State of New York should have to abide by the same restrictions.

This action has caused a division of the people into classes: Those the government deems valuable enough to protect with modern firearms, and those whose lives have been deemed as having less value, and whom the government has decided do not deserve the right to protect themselves with the same firearms. Olympic Arms will not support such behavior or policy against any citizen of this great nation.

Olympic Arms invites all firearms manufacturers, distributors and firearms dealers to join us in this action to refuse to do business with the State of New York. We must stand together, or we shall surely fall divided.

Sincerely,

Brian Schuetz
President
Olympic Arms, Inc.

Extreme Firepower, Inc. stops all sales to Law Enforcement in California, Chicago, New York State, and Washington, DC

The “Policies” page of the company’s website includes the following statement:

Government Sales

The Federal Government and several states have enacted gun control laws that restrict the public from owning and possessing certain types of firearms. Law-enforcement agencies are typically exempt from these restrictions. EFI, LLC does not recognize law-enforcement exemptions to local, state, and federal gun control laws. If a product that we manufacture is not legal for a private citizen to own in a jurisdiction, we will not sell that product to a law-enforcement agency in that jurisdiction.

California
EFI, LLC has registered with the DoJ CFLC program and we will sell any product that we legally can to the public. We will not, under any circumstances, sell any of our products to law-enforcement or state agencies until the California legislature repeals the gun control laws that have been enacted, as these entities have lobbied in favor of statewide gun bans.

EFI, LLC will not sell anything to the following local government agencies until their firearm and/or magazine restrictions have been repealed:
City of Chicago, Illinois
New York State
Washington, DC

All products that we manufacture are available to our military customers.

Templar Custom no longer sells firearms to New York State, its Law Enforcement, First Responders, and Government-affiliated Entities

Apex, North Carolina – New York State has recently passed the NY SAFE Act, which prohibits law-abiding New York citizens from purchasing and using many of the most common rifles, handguns, and shotguns in the United States, along with most standard magazines made for these firearms.

The law, rammed through the New York legislature in roughly 30 hours before the legislators themselves or the general public could respond, is a blatant violation of the New York State Constitution. A plain, common-sense reading of the recent Heller decision also shows that the NY SAFE Act is also a blatant and purposefully affront to the Second Amendment of the United States, and is clearly not a constitutional law.

We cannot legally sell rifles to New Yorkers as private citizens.

We will not sell arms to agents of the state of New York that hold themselves to be “more equal” than their citizens. As long as the legislators of New York think they have the power to limit the rights of their citizens, in defiance of the Constitution, we at Templar will not sell them firearms to enforce their edicts.

Templar Custom is announcing that the State of New York, any Law Enforcement Departments, Law Enforcement Officers, First Responders within the State of New York, or any New York State government entity or employee will no longer be served as customers.

We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal. Before the law and before their creator, all people are equal. When the political class attempts to set itself above the people, we at Templar Custom will always side with the people.

We will also be reviewing the laws of the various states to determine if others will be joining New York on our “Do Not Sell” list.

Templar Custom invites all firearms manufacturers, distributors and firearms dealers to join us in this action to refuse to do business with the State of New York. We must stand together, or we shall surely fall divided.

Sincerely,
Bob Reynolds
President
Templar Custom, Inc.

I have nothing but "respect" for these companies. God bless the patriots and those who stand guard on their backside!

[vonClausewitz]

This is a start and I tip my hat to all these companies...

But until Colt, S&W, and Glock, for example, join this effort, it's like a fart in the wind...

How many LE departments are buying Olympic AR-15s, for example???

[gunderwood]

Which is why all need to contact them to do the same.

I have very limited exposure on this, but I thought that they were popular with smaller departments who don't have the budget to buy a full milspec AR for twice the price.

[tacdriver]

Just read that cheaper then dirt stepped in an added themselves to the cause.

here's what I read:

"Recently, companies such as LaRue Tactical and Olympic Arms have announced that they will no longer sell prohibited items to government agencies and personnel in states that deny the right to own those items to civilians. It has been and will continue to be Cheaper Than Dirt’s policy to not to sell prohibited items to government agencies and/or agents in states, counties, cities, and municipalities that have enacted restrictive gun control laws against their citizens. We support and encourage other companies that share in this policy.

Just me...As a humble owner of products in our hobbies,I have no problems taking a minute out of my day making a phone call asking a distributor or a manufactures that i purchased from if they would support their customer base by supporting a movement like this.

[HilarityEnsues]

Read this on another website, It's really unfortionate but at the same time I understand. The NY police departments are 100% against the gun ban.

[GeneFrenkle]

Then they can use this to justify how the new legislation effects public safety and should be repealed.

Companies need to realize that if they want to be selling you and I firearms in the future, they need to protect our rights today.

Money talks in America....

[tinner666]

I figure the least we also could do would be to curtail all purchases from all companies in NY. That would put a dent in their tax revenue too. Even in the store, if I see Made in NY, or other label on it, I won't buy it.

[VBshooter]

States like NY,NJ, and CO need to see and feel their BS has serious consequences,,

[Bernie]

This is just what I needed to read. It affirms that I am not some deranged individual believing in some fairy tale called the Constitution.

We the People will find a way to communicate to the masses with or without the media.

[Reverenddel]

I would like to see the "Big Companies" do something like this for EVERY state, and if located in those states? Move...

There are PLENTY of Pro-Gun states that would GLADLY fore go a few months taxes to allow them to "settle in"...

[tacdriver]

Add j&G sales to the list!

Here's their comments from a couple hours ago from their face book posting;

For immediate release:

As state and local jurisdictions are increasingly passing laws which infringe upon the Second Amendment of the US Constitution, J&G Sales is implementing a new policy on shipping restricted items to these states and localities.

Effective immediately, laws that restrict firearms, ammunition, or magazine possession by law abiding citizens will also be applied to state and local law enforcement and government agencies in that jurisdiction. All residents will be treated equally. Honorable citizens, law enforcement personnel, and government agents, should all be allowed to utilize the most effective defensive equipment available.

J&G believes that there should not be a difference between the rights of citizens and those of government employees. This new policy will also help us to be sure we avoid the consequences of not conforming with the anti-firearm regulations in these various jurisdictions.

We expect to lose some revenue from government purchases, however we feel it is essential to defend the US Constitution by making a statement about the importance of the Second Amendment in maintaining all our freedoms.

We await the day when all law abiding citizens will be able to possess the most effective means and tools available for self-defense regardless of where they live or for whom they work.

Thank you

Way to go... keep it the phone calls & emails guys, we're all in this together !!!
