Would be kind of ironic if his company went bankrupt even before Romney could shut it down, wouldn't it?





Mormon>your business



this is a good example of how goofy religion seems to non-religious people.


Yeah, it would...if it were the only reason he were supporting Romney.

I admit the fact Romney's Mormon probably makes him feel more comfortable with him.  But this endorsement was based more on who Robinson feels is more electable, and who would be better than Hillary or Obama in the White House.

If Romney gets the nomination, I'd bet even the GOA will hold their nose and endorse him (of course, if they don't, it won't make any difference anyway).

On the other hand, a FAT Gov't. contract could pay off much better than civilian sales for that golden parachute some dream of prior to selling the company.


Well, I'm writing my Congressmen - not sure what good it'll do, but I don't trust a company like that with the security of our country.

what if another country offers them more money to sabotage the weapons?


I have not fired one of their weapons, like the way they look.  But realistically, do they really stand a chance at beating out people like FN and some of the other powerhouses with a gov. contract to replace the m16?  It doesn't look to me like they even have the ability to come close to meeting production quotas, they seem kind of small.



Hell the XCR in the first place doesnt hold a candle to the FN SCAR/XM8/416 let alone even the M4 Carbine


Your wrong there. It is a very good design.

What's funny is the people over on the XCR forum posting positive things about Romney.  They are on the XCR forum supporting a man who wants to ban what, I am assuming, they are interested in.???????  Read the quotes from Romney Asshats own mouth.  Are we gun owners so stupid that we would not look into the beliefs and views of those we support?  What the hell is wrong with people?

Drawing the conclusion that a Salt Lake businessman is a Mormon by virtue of the fact that he lives in Salt Lake City, is a huge ASSumption.

Also, assuming that most Salt Lake Mormons will be voting for Mitt Romney is another huge ASSumption, since many of the Mormons I go to church with have bumper stickers for Hillary or Obama.  Two of them are Democrat political consultants who help run Democrat campaigns.

snipped for brevity

So you don't think there will be a buying frenzy if after the election a new ban is announced?  

You might rethink that if that is the case.  People will open new credit to max it out buying preban stuff!!!


there can only be a frenzy if there is a grandfather clause.

do not expect there to be one, or an expiration date.

do not expect it to be simply cosmetic features.

The antis have learned from their 'mistakes' they know the ban was an ineffective same as we do.  The next one will not be.


So people will not do a buying frenzy to hide, bury, or lose in a boating accident?  Even with a full ban there will be an increase is sales to hide (lose in a boating accident or burglary)... I have no doubt!  The election is months away and people are already  buying and building EBRs and stock piling magazines!  It has already started!

When I go back to MO next month I will be visiting Denny to buy lowers for future builds.  I would not be buying them until I intend to build if the election was not coming up.  I am willing to gamble there will be another grandfather due to the cost of a full ban and confiscation.  I do agree there WILL NOT be a sunset on the next one!!!

In all honesty, I really love my XCR. It's a great gun, but hearing this just sucks, what a way to ring in the new year. At this point, I really can't feel right owning an XCR and purchasing from them again (I was eagerly awaiting the 7.62mm kit).

Sorry Alex, you have a great product, but you made a horrible decision that has and will cost you.

Mormons are like that.

My highschool football coach was mormon.  Everybody who was mormon started regardless of their skill or work ethic.


What I found really funny was when he would want to cuss.  He'd scream at the top of his head "SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!"  When clearly he meant "FUCK!"

I always thought, "Does he think he's tricking his god?  Does his god not see the *intent* of his screaming, through the oh-so-clever letter switch?"

Strange behavior to say the least.  As is supporting a candidate that will put you out of business and villify your customers.

Shoulder shrugs here, and I'll never buy robinson products because of this endorsement.

edit:
I take back the phrase "mormons are like that."

I know all groups of people are composed of various types of people.   I should not have lumped eveyone  into one group.

If you could help me then, what would be the reason a owner of an assault weapons manufacturer support someone who clearly has, and will support the ban of ALL assault weapons? Social issues? Yeah right! He's supporting someone that wants to put him out of business.
