Actions Speak Volumes

Local media outlets report that three senators and three Assembly members met with Remington officials on Wednesday to discuss what they could do to ensure the company keeps its plant in the Herkimer County village of Ilion, where Remington employs about 1,200 people.

The answer should have been repeal the SAFE ACT. Instead, Remington is investing twenty million in their Ilion plant. Remington has no comment. Is there really any need. Actions speak volumes.

On the New York Boycott...

From Barron:

MagPul is a great example and they do not deserve to be knifed in the back as a traitor. As Tam has said, we in this community are fantastic at stabbing traitors in the back but we need to be sure they actually are a traitor. Some may not support the boycott not because they support police over the rest of us, but because of legal fears from being publicly traded, or disagreement on how effective that tactic will be at garnering support among the people who actually use the products.

...and from Sean.

The Naughty List is gone because I’ve decided to get rid of the negative. This list is a shopping list of people who stand by your rights. Tam says we’re absolutely awesome at “knifing traitors.” Unfortunately that means we are quick to find traitors in need of knifing. When the day comes that we need to work together to knife a traitor, you can be sure I’ll be there. Right now is not that time. Right now is the time to build allies.

The list is up to one hundred and three. If I'm in the market for new hardware these guys get first shot.

To date, ninty-seven companies...

...have joined the New York Boycott.

On the New York Boycott...

I'm reminded of "Braveheart," where the titled and propertied lairds cut their own deals with Longshanks and withdrew from the field, leaving the freedom fighters to take all the risks and suffer all the losses. It's past time the entire industry was put on notice and then held accountable for any cowardice in this time of threat on all fronts. - David Codrea

...by leaps and bounds.

...and the New York Boycott now stands at forty-one forty-four forty-eight fifty-three fifty-seven* businesses.

* ...and that's just today.

Nineteen!

There are nineteen firearms businesses participating in the boycott now. That's eleven since Sunday and that's amazing.

H/T to Sean.

Eight

West Fork Armory

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY! All New York Government and official purchases from New York Law Enforcement agencies within that state are cancelled. All future sales will be suspended and firearm servicing is halted until your current bans further restricting law abiding citizens is lifted.

H/T to Sean.

The New York boycott gets a reaction.

I can't find any link to this through Google or on NPR. The only post I've found so far was at Popehat.

Apparently, NPR did a story about how one, Chief Michael Biasotti, president of the New York State Association of Chiefs of Police, is butt hurt over Olympic Arms refusal to do business with New York State agencies as long as the State of New York's new unconstitutional gun laws are in effect. This is apparently bullying. Seriously? Well then, let's have more bullying. The list is now at seven bullies.

UPDATE: From Comments Michael Biasotti responds.

Appartntly Not! You can't find a link because their is none, I never spoke to NPR nor am I "Hurt" over Olmpic Arms refusal to do business with New York State. I am President of The New York State Association of Chiefs of Police but that is the only accurate statement! I fully support the second amendment and have no idea what "Popehat" is or what they are talking about!

...and then there were six.

Cheaper Than Dirt

It has been and will continue to be Cheaper Than Dirt’s policy to not to sell prohibited items to government agencies and/or agents in states, counties, cities, and municipalities that have enacted restrictive gun control laws against their citizens.

A good start

Wish they had applied it to Federal Agencies as well.

GRNC suggests we ask some other firearms companies to put a little skin in the game as well.
