Armalite Steps In It
Rude to a gun rights person, will continue to sell to officers in states that ban their rifles.
I dunno that the latter is something I’d be too inclined to hold their feet to the fire for. After all, do you really think Glock, Sig, S&W, etc. would stop selling guns or magazines in bulk with their lucrative police bulk contracts?

No but being a dick about it is a good way to get us gunnies all riled up into pissed off at you forever mode…

Sorry, excuse the pun, but this is war…. as such you can add Armalite to my “Do not do business with” list. And yes that will include Sig Sauer if it comes to it *sniff*. I will not reward manufacturers that put their “bottom line” over our rights. Collectively we buy more merchandise than law enforcement, so if these manufacturers want go from mass production to “boutique” status, then lets give them what they want, and they can watch their bottom line disappear with us.

If these two Armalite yahoos can’t master 5th grade spelling/grammar when the survival of their company is on the line, I shudder to think of what their daily reports and legal affidavits looked like.
Yeah, pedantic.

I can live without giving any more money to Glock, Sig or S&W if I have to. I don’t really want to, as I like glocks, but there are a LOT more non-police that buy pistols than police. And the margin on PD contracts usually sucks. I don’t think any, much less all, could survive on just PD contracts.

Too many other people make AR-15s to put up with Armalite’s crap.

I’m not surprised. Colt probably will do the same at the very least.
Screw them.

Fuck Armalite. Forever.

FWIW: The first rule of business is to stay in business. Armalite and the others are in business and they will sell to whomever they are legally allowed to sell to. They are businessmen first and gunnys and/or patriots second. If you don’t want to spend your money with them, then don’t. But don’t hate them for acting like businessmen. All the businesses that are making a brave stand are doing it because they think they can still turn a profit and survive. If MAGPUL leaves Colorado, it’s because they think they can still make money, not because they have high principles.

Oh, and I was kinda looking at one of those Armalite .338LM’s. Be looking elsewhere now.
