Olympic Arms will not sell to NY

Re: Olympic Arms will not sell to NY

This is probably the wrong forum but I'm not sure I agree with Olympic Arms on this. They are caving to the anti-gunners wishes.
 
Re: Olympic Arms will not sell to NY

Here is the official statement from olympic

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Olympic Arms is a staunch believer in and defender of the Constitution of the United States, and with special attention paid to the Bill of Rights that succinctly enumerates the security of our Divinely given Rights. One of those Rights is that to Keep and Bear Arms.

Legislation recently passed in the State of New York outlaws the AR15 and many other firearms, and will make it illegal for the good and free citizens of New York to own a large selection of legal and safe firearms and magazines. We feel as though the passage of this legislation exceeds the authority granted to the government of New York by its citizens, and violates the Constitution of the United States, ignoring such SCOTUS rulings as District of Columbia v. Heller - 554, U.S. 570 of 2008, McDonald v. Chicago - 561 U.S. 3025 of 2010, and specifically the case of United States v. Miller – 307 U.S. 174 of 1939.

Due the passing of this legislation, Olympic Arms would like to announce that the State of New York, any Law Enforcement Departments, Law Enforcement Officers, First Responders within the State of New York, or any New York State government entity or employee of such an entity - will no longer be served as customers.

In short, Olympic Arms will no longer be doing business with the State of New York or any governmental entity or employee of such governmental entity within the State of New York - henceforth and until such legislation is repealed, and an apology made to the good people of the State of New York and the American people.

If the leaders of the State of New York are willing to limit the right of the free and law abiding citizens of New York to arm themselves as they see fit under the Rights enumerate to all citizens of the United State through the Second Amendment, we feel as though the legislators and government entities within the State of New York should have to abide by the same restrictions.

This action has caused a division of the people into classes: Those the government deems valuable enough to protect with modern firearms, and those whose lives have been deemed as having less value, and whom the government has decided do not deserve the right to protect themselves with the same firearms. Olympic Arms will not support such behavior or policy against any citizen of this great nation.

Olympic Arms invites all firearms manufacturers, distributors and firearms dealers to join us in this action to refuse to do business with the State of New York. We must stand together, or we shall surely fall divided.

Sincerely,

Brian Schuetz
President
Olympic Arms, Inc.

How so? The government decided to prevent the citizens from owning the rifle...so Oly decided they won't sell to the government or LEO of NY either.

Oly isn't stating that they won't sell to citizens of specifc states. They are simply choosing not to supply the governments in states that have passed restrictions on to their populace.

Re: Olympic Arms will not sell to NY

We in NY State appreciate Olympic Arms stance. This is aimed at non-citizens and straight at NY State Gov. They have side stepped our state constitution and pushed this through at midnight bypassing state gov. rules. We hope to beat this in court and are making a rucous here. The majority of NY State Sheriffs are against this crazy law as well. Having Olympic throw down along side of us is greatly appreciated. Many of us at NYfirearms Forum have sent thank you emails to them for their stance.
