California's Microstamping Law Takes Effect

[magillapd]

All gun and ammo manufacturers need to follow Ronnie Barrett's policy and not sell anything in California, including LEOs and their agencies.

I agree.

When are the gun manufacturers going to stand up and stand behind gun owners?

I for one, am getting more than a little tired of this situation.

As for Final Shot, we will not be selling anything to California until some things drastically change. I have a hard time withholding sales to those in California who really need to protect themselves, but this is out of control, and affects the potential livelihood for my family. Potential because I will loose potential sales, but because I also pick up potential risk when I transfer/ship/sell firearms to anyone in CA. And the sheeple over there don't know any better what the new laws, and how said new laws should affect their firearms purchases. This is especially inherent with the proliferation of online sales. No sir, no more California sales.

It doesn't affect me....or it does in a small way....but I wouldn't sell grapefruit to California. OTH, I do have a client in California.

In other words, you're just importing his money to Texas.

My point is that it seems the firearms companies are just trying to keep a low profile in this battle for the sake of profit. Some may donate to the NRA and gun friendly politicians, but just donating money and not shouldering part of the battle is not enough at this stage of the war.

There are people in California that want to be able to defend themselves but if the firearms manufacturers took a hard line and refused to sell in California, it could improve the situation for them in the long run. Manufacturers could also see an increase in business down the road.

I tend to believe I am wasting my time because it appears very few manufacturers have the guts to take on government. They have to keep stockholders happy.

Are there any laws that could force companies to sell in California, New York or any other state?

[Texasrpbrock]

I agree with Ronnie Barrett. Get it to the point that the government can not purchase or service their weapons, so they have to use slingshots like Tijuana issued to their police some years ago.

That's just funny! Never heard of that one!

The flip side of that is that if manufacturers get too overtly political, they tend to reinforce the false meme that the NRA is the voice of the gun manufacturers lobby, instead of the truth that the NRA is the voice of its members.
