Posted: 2/18/2013 12:39:26 PM [Last Edit: 2/18/2013 12:39:50 PM by GuyMontag] THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT I'm posting this reply from ArmaLite regarding joining LaRue, Olympic and other makers to tell NY State that oppressive legislation like SAFE will come with a cost. I hope posting this publicly will force ArmaLite to seriously reconsider their lack of enthusiasm for standing up for gun owners rights everywhere, and not just NY State. Their response speaks volumes, decide for yourself how committed to 2nd Amendment protections ArmaLite appears to be. Dear concerned gun owner, First of all I would like to say thank you for filling my email with all this spam email. Second, I am not sure where you got this blanket email from to send out as spam, but please stop it. Third, The manufacture is not the one you need to convince. You need to convince the law enforcement agencies and the common people about their mistake in electing these officials and have them removed. Again NOT the manufacture. AR Stands for ArmaLite… Respectfully, Pat Raley raleyp@armalite.com Master Armorer / Sales Rep. ArmaLite, Inc. P.O. Box 299 Geneseo, IL. 61254
