Gun Companies Refuse Sales to State
Governments with Strict Gun Laws
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. Thus, they refuse to aid the enforcement of such inequality.
The announcements read:
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.
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legislation is repealed, and an apology made to the good people of the State of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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
Second Amendment activist groups Guns Save Life and Grass Roots North Carolina are
currently urging big gun manufacturers Sig Sauer, Smith and Wesson, and
Glock to halt their sales to government agencies within states that have
clamped down on their residents' right to bear arms.

Keep this list and make sure you try to buy a gun from
them. It’s the only language government
understands.
