I could not get that link to work, but found the article at this link --> http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/201...an-bans-apply/

It looks like CTD is announcing something similar, link here --> http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/201...re-prohibited/

In light of the CTD flipflopping the question is asked will you go back to CTD: http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/201...per-than-dirt/

I'm a wait and see with this one. I'm more than willing to forgive and forget but it will be tough. Plus, their prices are beyond standard capitalistic supply/demand gouging. It's a bit over the top on some of their stuff.

Like the others here..

That's the way it should be. Good job Midway!

+1 I applaud the companies who support the position of what's good for us citizens is good for non-military LEO's.
Personally I think it is high time we de-militarize the police anyway. And I think we should push the issue. If we the law abiding, tax-paying citizenry do not need magazines over 10 rounds or "assault weapons". Then civilian LEO's don't need them either. After all, aren't "assault weapons" tools of war meant for the military? Who are the police at war with?

My $1.02 worth.

If Magpul moves, I wonder if we can get them to start stamping their mags "for civilian use only" and not sell them to LE. The military already said you can't use them IIRC.

Good for Larry at Midway!!!!
They have my business

Though its mostly symbolic, I really appreciate this. We need to get manufacturers on board... which will be hard because they often sell straight to the agencies and are guaranteed payment from an endless stream of fiat money.

I couldn't agree more. While I think this is great I honestly don't think places like Midway do much business with LE directly. We need to get more manufacturers on board.

I don't have an assault weapon I have a personal defense weapon. Wait I lost that in the boating accident.

This has the potential to really send a strong message. Make sure that it applies to security agencies that DOD contracts for personal security as well. We are all on an equal playing field.

I think that another important point is to get behind these business and stop doing business with anyone who does not adhere to this standard. All it is going to take is a couple small companies to undercut all of these LE contracts and make a killing while hurting the companies that have the integrity to stand up for this. It would be very important to know where all major companies stand on this movement and start to conduct our business accordingly.
