Springfield Armory to Dicks Sporting Goods

NSSF explelled Dicks today from membership in the foundation.

The step I'm still waiting for is for a major manufacturer to refuse to sell firearms to LEOs in a restrictive state.

If enough get on board, THAT would be a game changer.

I thought Barrett already did that in California.

I was just about to say that. I think they won't service or offer tech support to California LEO

Yep, cut off sales & support for the .50 BMG rifles made illegal for anyone but law enforcement in CA. Was an awesome move from Ronnie Barrett.

Kinda of. They gave money to the Illinois FireArms Manufacturers Association which caved in a bad bill that exempted manufacturers from huge new licensing fees that would kill dealers. Once they (Springfield) were made aware of it they pulled out and fought the impending legislation. The IFMA are scumbags that took Springfield's money and donated it to anti-gun Democrat's election funds.

Illinois politics.

It's not going to stop me from buying an EMP 4" Concealed Contour.

And they might not be wrong.

If they lose a small percentage of business but gain the loyal business of SJW, it may be profitable. Of course, they forget that many are SJW in part because they are unemployable/underemployed and want free shit.

If you ever run for anything, I'd walk neighborhoods with the clipboard for you.
