I'll buy from wherever, whoever, I want.

Recall, S&W, who apparently groveled at the feet of the feds?

Many gun people, (even a friend) insisted, I absolutely must not buy from those scalawags.

I'm not a bandwagon kind of guy.

I'll buy from who, where I choose.

For all I know, all the hoopla is true, but I'm such a recalcitrant, I do what I want. I'm not afraid of your disapproval.

Don't like that, hahahahahaha...

No, I'm not your huckleberry...

The only thing this customer requires from a gun manufacture is a well manufactured gun at fair price and supported in customer service for that gun after the sale.

I don't go to my favorite steakhouse looking for light bulbs
I have no expectation of my local motorcycle store advocating for free higher education...
The only thing I want from my local food store is, fresh food.

So as long as Springfield continues to manufacture quality guns at a fair price and support those guns with great costumer service, my requirements have been met.

:clapping: We'll said. :iagree:

When California passed a law prohibiting the average citizen from owning a .50 caliber rifle, Mr. Barrett advised the State he would no longer sell his rifles or their parts to any LE agency in California! When States pass stupid laws they should face the same penalty, alot of States would be very cautious in laws they pass if Gun and ammunition maker refuse to sell to any LE agency in that state!

One's craving for universal constitutional carry notwithstanding, these companies have employees and communities dependent on them along with untold other financial considerations. They can't just pick up and leave their facilities at the 'drop of a hat'. If one chooses to not purchase from them, don't.

Having said that, who has not removed their 'carry' lately to enter a facility/business because they had no other choice. I left my Springfield Compact 1911 in the truck yesterday to go vote.

Nothing if you don't care about Springfield and Rock River supporting gun control.
Springfield and Rock River care about their business of making and selling guns. I'd like for them to stay in business.
Why would anyone patronize a business that is willing to sacrifice a person's 2A rights ( no matter in what State)in order to bolster the businesses bottom line? We have too many other options.

Are you suggesting that I go throw my Springfields and Rugers in the river?

Re: Think twice about Springfield and RRA

What does an Illinois bill/law have to do with a Texas gun purchase by me? BTW, both my EDC and bedside guns are Springfields and there are a half dozen Ruger handguns in the safe....and I'm seriously considering the purchase of a Ruger AR 566 for $500.
