ALBANY — In response to New York State’s sweeping gun law six weapons manufacturers have ceased business with law enforcement in the Empire State.
Gun companies from around the country; two in Texas, one each in Washington, Maine, West Virginia, and North Carolina have publicly posted on their websites displeasure over New York’s NY SAFE Act.
The companies say they will no longer do business with first responders or police in New York. LaRue Tactical will limit all sales to what law-abiding citizens residing in their districts can purchase or possess, read a post on the Texas based gun company’s website.
Governor Andrew Cuomo, the man behind New York’s strict gun law, was not concerned over the potential loss of business. If they do not want to sell they don’t have to sell, Cuomo said of the six boycotting companies. Of course we welcome all companies and their business but if they don’t want to sell fine.
Spokesmen for both the New York State Police and New York City Police Department, the two largest agencies in the state, said they do not have contracts with any of the six companies boycotting the state.
A spokesman at the Alcohol Firearms and Tobacco Bureau, in Washington D.C., said they also don’t have contracts with any of the companies. However, the agency does purchase guns from Remington Arms, said the spokesman.
One of Remington Arm’s largest plants in located in Ilion, NY. Pro gun groups are urging more manufacturers to boycott sales in New York.
New York has a biga$$ little hat wearing bunch who’ll surely call any boycott of JooYork anti-semitic, maybe even especially if it is from the scary gun people.
They conjure up so much to fight about.
I won’t play. They cheat, always.
IN LIGHT OF THE MORALITY OF OUR GLORIOUS GOVERNMENT, I DON’T SEE HOW THE “NICS CHECK” COULD BE ANYTHING OTHER THAN GUN REGISTRATION.
JUS SAYIN…………………..
