This is an epic mixture of hypocrisy and complete ignorance. First they ask gun makers to supply them with evil guns, but ask whether those same evil guns are also sold to the public. Fucking elitist douchebags. Then they show how fucking stupid they are by asking whether the gun maker requires dealers to do background checks, as though that's some kind of "optional" thing for dealers throughout the entire fucking country.

This infuriates me.

Those were my initial thoughts as well.

A more coy gun maker could simply make some assumptions and answer most of them in a way that wouldn't hurt their bid.

You can FOIA details of the winners contract but not the winner's bid itself.  That's proprietary.

All the companies are just gonna answer with what they expect the Govt wants to hear anyways.  It's not binding in any way.

ETA: What will be fun is when a losing company protests the award.  This is no different than asking bidders to answer if they voted Dem or Rep, or if they donate to a specific charity, or if they support any other political issue.

I wonder if they actually bothered to look at whether there are any public procurement laws in NJ that would prohibit them from doing what they're proposing? It's seems unlikely to me that a public agency or locality can say "we're not going to award the contract to the lowest conforming bid - instead, we're going to award it to this more expensive one, because we like their answers to some vague questions about whether their products are featured in video games."

That just sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen, to me.

Gun manufacturers are going to have to have the discussion sooner or later about selling to these sort of folks. It would be better for all involved if they would do it now while we still hold power over the anti gunners in most of the country.

The whole anti gun train could be derailed in one or two years of concerted effort by the gun companies, and ammunition companies not selling or servicing any guns or selling any ammo to any agency in a pro gun control city or state.

My sarcasm meter might be broken. If they haven't signed and sworn away their constitutional rights for a specified period of time, they are civilians. If they can just walk away from a job any time they feel like it with no legal consequences, they are a civilian. I respect and appreciate the job they do, but they are civilians.

No, we let gun dealers sell to anyone with no background check

Since when do manufacturers control that?

How to answer the questions:

What do you do to combat illegal gun trafficking and illegal gun crime?  They're the police, that's their job.

Do you manufacturer and sell assault weapons for civilian use? We manufacture and sell only legal products.

Do you agree not to sell certain models of firearms for civilian use? We will not sell unlawful products.

Are you requiring your dealers to conduct background checks? Dealer background checks have been required by federal law for nearly 2 decades.

Do you fund research related to gun violence and smart gun technology? Our training division gives instruction on the proper use of firearms.

Will you commit to prohibiting your brand name from being used in violent video games?” Feel free to compensate us for the lost business and we'll be happy to.
