Gun manufactorers start banning gun banning LE-agencies

[Gregman]

As a recent response to new gun ban legislations about 50 firearms related

manufacturers (including Barrett Arms ) have started a united boycott on sales

to LE- agencies of gun grabbing states like NY or CA.

So now it's a case of :

If you're banning your citizens from owning our products,

we're banning you from buying them for yourself.

If they ( the manufacturers ) all agree and be honest,

I think it' ll be a good tool against the planned ban...

Barrett started this a couple of years ago, shutting of CA. Now, the struggle has gone national.

However, the major handgun manufacturers, S&W, Ruger, Beretta, and SIG, still happily suck at the .gov teats. They are apparently willing to risk the loss of a few civilian sales (although there are few alternatives for handgun purchasers who DON'T want to support such manufacturers). Perhaps they should note what happened to Colt when it wrote off the citizen market, which then took its business elsewhere.

As did the US gov't., awarding the M-16/M-4 contract to a competitor, leaving Colt w/no market.

If you don't trust the people, why should we trust you? This sounds fair.

Well its the same story here in Germany, a specially when it comes to companies like H&K.

Their sales and costumer services are practically fixed on LE/ Government contracts.

I think they would simply give a sh** about a total firearm ban here, as long as they can maintain

their profitable backdoor businesses with dubious government agencies worldwide.

In my opinion, manufacturers like S & W should remember the "smart gun" disaster in the 90s.

Glock and SIG are able to survive only with the government contracts, but I don´t think that S & W can do.
