Several gun makers have announced a boycott in response to state or city governments that try to ban guns.
“Among the manufacturers that have
publicly announced their plans to prohibit sales to anti-Second
Amendment authorities so far are LaRue Tactical, Olympic Arms, Extreme
Firepower (EFI, LLC), and Barrett Firearms. All four firms, in
solidarity with citizens in jurisdictions victimized by a lawless
political class that refuses to uphold the Constitution, have expressed
strong support for Americans’ unalienable rights. Gun rights activists
nationwide rushed to celebrate the companies’ valor. If citizens cannot
purchase certain guns or accessories in places such as California,
Chicago, or New York, then authorities cannot either, the companies
essentially announced. In a press release posted online on Tuesday
praising the Constitution and Bill of Rights, Olympic Arms President
Brian Schuetz urged all firearm manufacturers to join the boycott
effort, saying that they should stand together to repel politicians’
hostile assaults on the rights of citizens.”
If there was a court case over the way the Federal Government treated one or more of these boycotting gun manufacturers, the court case alone could probably be used to financially destroy them. According to the New American, Olympic Arms supplies all four branches of the Armed Services. How hard would it be for that relationship to suddenly be terminated?
Keep in mind, this is an Administration that used troops in full tactical gear to terrorize a famous guitar maker for using the wrong wood. They casually talk about putting their “foot on the throat” of businesses. We are talking about some serious bullies.
Which is why it would not surprise me at all if many gun makers got real quiet and didn’t join up with this boycott. After all, when you are in the business to sell firearms, the Federal and State Governments can easily be your biggest customers. In such cases, “the customer is always right” is a direct route to a police state.”
I actually plan to pray for these men who made this brave decision. I want to stand with them in any way I can. And if you are in the market for a firearm, I would ask you to give them first consideration as you decide on your purchase. I fear they are going to need all the help and support they can get.
And while I wouldn’t hate any CEO for not joining in the boycott, you might consider how easy it is for corporations, even corporations that would never exist without the Second Amendment, to become docile partners with the powers that be who want to end the Second Amendment. I think that should also affect your decisions about with whom you want to do business.
