Via reader Fred Tippens, Bearing Arms:
Now, Gunsite is trying to process this stuff through another company, so I hope they can recover most, if not all, of the money, but I also hope they take Intuit to court over these shenanigans. This isn’t right on any level. At all.
More than that, though, this is the kick of thing that needs to be punished. Intuit needs to be fought on this stuff each and every time it tries this if at all possible. It needs to be forced to figure this into its decision-making matrix before it pulls this with other companies.
The irony? If it wants people to be safer with guns, places like Gunsite are the kind of places it should support. It should want people to go there, train there, learn there, then bring it home to share that knowledge with their fellow gun owners. The reason is that Gunsite is known for being a very safe training academy, something everyone should want to support.
But no. They sell guns, so they must be punished, apparently.
Let that be a lesson to anyone else who has a gun-related business. Now you know who not to do business with.
Oh, it’s much more complicated than that, Tom. This is another installment, albeit small, in the multifront war on gun owners and gun manufacturers, this time with the flavor of the day being training.
I’ve discussed it in detail, my readers know all about it. The war is escalating. The only good thing, as I’ve pointed out, is that the enemy has told us his strategy. We should listen.
Not everything out there is bad news. There are some upstart gun makers coming on line.
BROKEN ARROW, Okla. – Business owners in Broken Arrow said downturns in the oil and gas industry has pushed them to manufacture guns instead.
The owners of RISE Armament in Broken Arrow said they started the company in 2013 to focus on manufacturing oil, gas and aerospace equipment. A downturn in the industry, however, changed their plans.
Now, the company manufacturers AR-15 rifles.
The owners told FOX23 that the business near Kenosha and the Broken Arrow Expressway received new machinery this week that will allow them to increase manufacturing numbers.
They said the engineers they employ were able to transfer their previous industry skills to making weapons. They believe that they have been able to make their designs unique.
The owners said they are glad they made the business shift in 2015. They said they can now produce more than 1,600 triggers each week and feel they will soon expand even further.
Good. I see that Rise Armament makes nice looking rifles, even if a wee bit on the pricey side.
Take this tip from us fellows. Don’t get yourself entangled with corporate America, and work your logistics train with as little reference to major banks as possible. Keep us posted on your progress.
A quick note – I do parts, component and gun reviews. Just sayin’.
