DeGroat Tactical Armaments

Jennifer Slayton: Degroat given that youve posted this on your page, do you stand with barret and the 115 or so companies in prohibiting sales to .gov agencies/states that choose to restrict the rights of the citizens ?

DeGroat Tactical Armaments, LLC: Yes we stand with Barrett and the other companies on this issue.

Thanks DeGroat Tactical Armaments. You’ve been added to the New York Boycott list.

Aero Precision

Recently, we here at Aero Precision were asked about our position on sales of items to government agencies that restrict the sales of the same items to civilians. Our stance is that if we cannot sell an item to civilians of a state, county, city or other municipality, we will not sell to government agencies of that same state, county, city or other municipality. We firmly believe in the 2nd amendment rights of all US citizens.

Thanks Aero Precision. You’ve been added to the New York Boycott list.

West Desert Tactical

It has always been the policy of West Desert Tactical to apply sales restrictions equally to ‘peasantry’ and ‘ruling’ class alike.

We fully support this movement, and firmly believe in holding our government equally accountable for the laws and restrictions that they place upon the governed.

Specialized Dynamics

New policy: We will not sell to any NY law enforcement agency or government entity. We do not condone the restrictions put on law abiding citizens while doing nothing to criminals. Restricting AR15′s and other semi-automatic rifles will not help curb violence. Nor will any type of magazine restriction. We can not sit back and let these agencies have knee jerk reactions to a few unstable individuals. We stand by the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution

Thanks. You’ve both been added to the New York Boycott list.

Wolfpit Tactical

Due to legal, ethical and moral concerns, Wolfpit Tactical only offers custom firearms that are legal for all lawful citizens of a given state to possess, regardless of law enforcement status. LE personnel living in states where citizens must have restrictive features will only receive the same product support allowed to the average citizen from Wolfpit Tactical. We’re very appreciative of the sacrifices made by the law enforcement community but we’re even more appreciative of the right guaranteed to all law-abiding US citizens by the Second Amendment to the US Constitution: A well regulated militia, necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

Thanks Wolfpit Tactical. You’ve been added to the New York Boycott list.

Antares Arms

Be Advised: We refuse to recognize law enforcement exemptions on gun control.

If a product that we sell is not legal for a law-abiding private citizen to own in a jurisdiction,

we will not sell that product to a law-enforcement agency in that jurisdiction.

Midwest PX

Misc

Midwest PX, LLC will not sell items to state or federal agencies that are not legal for the general citizenry of that jurisdiction to own. This applies to individual orders as well as agency and department orders. No exceptions.

Thanks guys! You’ve both been added to the New York Boycott list.

Vltor released this on Facebook as a photo of a printout, so I don’t yet have the text. When Vltor send it to me I will post the text. Text version at the bottom of the post.

Thanks Vltor. You’ve been added to the New York Boycott list.

 I have an Vltor A5 EMod stock on my Templar Custom rifle. I would like to point out that according to Vltor’s website, their name is “Ultor” but they use the Roman U, which looks like a V.

Question: What does VLTOR mean?

Answer: VLTOR is the ancient Roman spelling for the Latin word ULTOR, meaning “Avenger”. This word was commonly used to describe the Roman God of War “Mars”.

Now you know.

UPDATE: VLTOR sent me a text version

REGARDING LEO SALES

March 1st, 2013

Back in 1990, when I was deployed in Desert Shield and Desert Storm as a Marine grunt, some companies prioritized me items for my M16 for shipping that I purchased with my own funds. After getting out and forming Magpul in 1999, I established the same priority policy for Military and Law Enforcement, due to the requirements of their profession.

The same policy has been in place for 13 years now and has never been an issue until a few days ago. I do not support the idea that individual police officers should be punished for the actions of their elected officials. That said, I understand the concerns that some have with Law Enforcement officers getting special treatment while at the same time denouncing second amendment rights to another citizen in the same state.

With the fight in Colorado right now we do not have time to implement a new program, so I have suspended all LE sales to ban states until we can implement a system wherein any Law Enforcement Officer buying for duty use will have to promise to uphold their oath to the US Constitution – specifically the second and fourteenth amendments – as it applies to all citizens.

I like the bit about the renewal of their oath before doing business.

Thanks MagPul. You’ve been added to the New York Boycott list.

Got a link today from an odd direction.

The second element of the boycott is to refuse to sell to cops, to police agencies or any law enforcement firearms which can’t be bought by “civilians”. This was begun with folks like Cheaper Than Dirt and MidwayUSA, large internet gun shops that are intrinsically tied to the NRA with their extensive advertising in print, broadcast and internet media.

I’m honestly a bit surprised it wasn’t a bit more spittle flecked. Usually when the Left gets on about guns and us cousin humping gun fetishists, they don’t even attempt to maintain any pretense of evenhandedness.

It also means that the decisions regarding regulations that are intended to impact gun violence will be played out in both legislative houses across the country as well as in the free market with businesses and consumers alike able to “put their money where their mouth is”. Some companies, like Barrett would likely fold if they maintain and extend their boycott to the federal government should the federal Assault Weapons Ban pass…the main customers of their $10,000, 50 caliber sniper rifle are government…and that is how the free market works.

It’s so cute when Leftists try to explain economics. It’s like listening to the guys on “Big Bang Theory” explain how women think. Here’s a reminder.

• Total cops in the US – 800,000
• Total guns sold in January 2013 – 2,495,440 (PDF)
• Smith and Wesson purchased in 1987 by Tompkins Plc for $115 Million.
• Smith and Wesson enters agreement with Clinton in 2000.
• Customers boycott Smith and Wesson
• Tompkins Plc sells Smith and Wesson to Safe-T-Hammer 13 months later for a package price of $45 Million
• Smith and Wesson repudiates Clinton agreement and is now a profitable company.

We, the consumers, hold the whip hand.
