Is the Firearms Industry Selling The Guns Which Will Be Used To Enslave Us?

Is it realistic to expect companies to turn down lucrative law enforcement deals? Probably not, because the activist portion of gun owners is but a fraction of the total population, those selling to enforcement agencies inarguably make some of the finest guns in the market, and the citizen militia system needed to take up the slack has been suppressed by a political design that in turn has been allowed by apathy. But what we can do is be aware of who’s involved in such deals, use what sway as customers that we have to influence corporate decision-making, individually boycott those companies we take umbrage with, and importantly, to patronize the enterprises that have taken a public stand on the side of “We the people” even when it affects their bottom lines.
Most of the sway we have is in pressing back against it when gun manufacturers toy with support for gun control efforts, such as when Marty Daniels courted “Fix-NICS.” I doubt that we would be successful in persuading large manufacturers like Savage or Ruger to examine the politics of their contracts before they fulfill them.
But the answer to David’s question is ‘yes’, and I’m not sure that can be changed.

Marty Daniels bravely turned me and others I know away from purchasing his products. I guess when you are attached to both domestic and foreign government teats pissing off the little guys isn’t a difficult choice.

Some gun companies deserve our ire more than others. I gather that most have made their peace with S&W after the sellout in the 90s blew over. I’m still a little uncertain that I’d deal with S&W anytime soon.
However, H-S Precision is on my permanent boycott list. https://blogostuff.blogspot.com/2008/11/hs-precision-gets-endorsement-by-lon.html

Haven’t some of the ‘specialty manufacturers’ (mostly of Sniper Rifles) stopped selling to “law enforcement’? Not that it Matters in the End, as the Agenda to ‘militarize’ the thugpigs continues Regardless of what the Citizens say or do.
Buy More Ammo.

Barrett’s policy for CA agencies is probably more good promotion than revenue loss.
Too bad S&W, Sig & Glock would never do the same CA, NY, and any other state standing on people’s liberty.
