Quoted:
BCM Our stance on the 2nd Amendment.
"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." The founding fathers made the right to keep and bear arms second only to the freedom of speech in the Bill of Rights. Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, George Mason, Samuel Adams and so many others, labored tirelessly to create a new nation with laws free from the tyranny of the old country. A place where the government would represent the people, not repress them. As Americans, we have the luxury of living in a developed society where we can develop ourselves through education and critical debate. We have a responsibility to question ideas and confront issues that we have a stake in as citizens of this nation, be that the rights of yourselves or the rights of others when threatened by the state. Firearms are, first and foremost, a tool to secure your life and the lives of others, against any aggressor. The people at Bravo Company USA and BCM support responsible private individuals having access to the same tools of civilian Law Enforcement to affect the same ends. Securing and defending ourselves, our loved ones and innocent people if the situation arises. |

I'd like to request that we tack this thread. Not only that, but I request that links to this thread be placed wherever relevant.
We need to show our support for companies that support us by putting our money where our mouth is. I'm bookmarking this thread, and the companies on this list will be the ones I go shopping at first when I need or want something. |

Another joins the fight...
Trident Armory Sunday night, 9pm. As of this moment, all contract bids and offers, as well as any current production contracts for any and all US government agencies and affiliates by Trident Armory are null and void.
"We will no longer participate with, or work for a government where the "rights" of the people are able to be adjusted by the whim of the government". " I will not build guns which can be used to disarm my fellow Americans" Gun makers and gunsmiths of America, join me. Stop enabling a government who doesn't believe in our rights, save our second amendment, and save Americas freedom from tyranny. |

So all your big names like Glock, Smith and Wesson and all the little online shops. Which is why boycotting people like Armalite is retarded. |

Effective Immediately!!
Due to the recent changes in 2nd Amendment laws that are pending or currently enforced by states across the country, the J&T Family of Companies which includes J&T Distributing, DoubleStar Corp., Ace Limited, and the DoubleStar Training Academy has been forced to reassess our policies regarding government and law enforcement sales. Effective immediately, the J&T Family of Companies will be joining other manufacturers and distributors by ceasing sales of regulated items in states that have altered the rights of citizens to keep and bear arms. The JTFOC will no longer sell prohibited items to law enforcement agencies or any government agencies in states, counties, cities, and municipalities that have enacted restrictive gun control laws against their law abiding citizens. We hope other companies will join us with their support. We applaud those already involved with this effort to protect our 2nd Amendment rights. -Be Victorious |

If we could get Glock, S&W, Colt and ATK this would actually have a serious impact. I'm glad all these companies are doing the right thing to various degrees but the big boys would have the antis freaking out.
I agree that bashing Armalite is stupid. Their position and BCM look the same to me. And we shouldn't bash or threaten anyone in the industry. We should support companies that take a stand and encourage the others to follow suit. But do it respectfully and with class. You always get more with honey than a stick. Besides, most of industry has sales into the next decade, threatening to not buy from them carries no weight. But pointing out it is in their long range interest to send a message to NY and the rest is the way to go IMHO My .02 |

Quoted: I spoke to Troy at SHOT Show and they were officially the first I heard was to take this stand. I suggest someone else contact them, but I highly doubt they would have changed their stance and then add them to the list. As for us, we can't sell much to NYers, but will continue to treat everyone here as equals while we are still around. I locked a "boycott" thread, so please keep this thread to those companies who are for and against this movement and all will be well. As much as I appreciate and have pushed this movement behind closed doors, I have sworn to never allow boycott threats against pro-second amendment companies on this site. If you choose to buy or not buy from them, it is entirely up to you. Having a list of pro/against should help that, but please watch how things are said and all will be well. It's a time to fight for our survival and we must rally together unlike ever before. Stay strong. Stay focused. Stay safe. Just because somebody sells guns and gun related products does not mean they are a pro-second amendment company.  Not a call out or even naming any names, just pointing out that boycotts of certain firearms related businesses may be within those guidelines. |

Also I see it as impossible for companies like magpul to do what your asking It probably is. It would be nice to hear them at least voice it as a policy. They are located not 20 miles from a city that bans ownership of standard Pmags for civilians. At much as I like Magpul they located in a liberal area and it finally bit them in the ass. I don't want them off the list. They easily could have said "fuck off" to civilians and they didn't. ETA: If the list is nothing but a list of companies that don't sell to ban states I don't think Magpul should be on it. If the list is of companies that support the 2nd amendment I think they should stay. If there has been a statement from Magpul that they don't sell or contract with LEOs in ban states they should be on the list. I have not seen one. |

Can't the manufacturer set the rules for who their products can be sold to as a condition of you being one of their distributors? For example an LEO in NY attempts to purchase a PMAG, distributor says "Sorry we can't to you due to restrictions from Magpul"
