Olympia, WA --(Ammoland.com)- Olympic Arms is a staunch believer in and defender of the Constitution of the United States, and with special attention paid to the Bill of Rights that succinctly enumerates the security of our Divinely given Rights.
One of those Rights is that to Keep and Bear Arms.
Legislation recently passed in the State of New York outlaws the AR15 and many other firearms, and will make it illegal for the good and free citizens of New York to own a large selection of legal and safe firearms and magazines.
We feel as though the passage of this legislation exceeds the authority granted to the government of New York by its citizens, and violates the Constitution of the United States, ignoring such SCOTUS rulings as District of Columbia v. Heller – 554, U.S. 570 of 2008, McDonald v. Chicago – 561 U.S. 3025 of 2010, and specifically the case of United States v. Miller – 307 U.S. 174 of 1939.
Due the passing of this legislation, Olympic Arms would like to announce that the State of New York, any Law Enforcement Departments, Law Enforcement Officers, First Responders within the State of New York, or any New York State government entity or employee of such an entity – will no longer be served as customers.

“The organized firepower would be overwhelming. “
You watch too many cop shows on TV.
Nice, they should also sue NY in Fed Court.
Have sent emails to both S&W and Ruger, asking they follow Olympic’s lead.
Sturm Ruger has been my choice on handguns. As a former Minnesota resident (don’t call me a Minnesota, I remain a TEXAN!), these companies may end up doing the same to Minnesota. Just as well, since most Minnesota law enforcement agencies are worse than useless.
Let the cops make their own ammo...my dad did when he was a policeman in Detroit, the city didn’t supple the cops with ammo but that was circs:1940
lol, should do background checks to make sure no state agents can make purchases.
i wonder if the stockpiling is just a budget game for the upcomming sequester.
if glocke were to do this then there would be howls.
