Gun Company Just Turned Gun Bans Against Police
youtube ^ | 19 July 2026 | Hegshot87

Posted on 07/22/2026 10:39:02 AM PDT by ShadowAce

A major American gun manufacturer is turning restrictive gun laws back on the law-enforcement agencies that benefit from special exemptions. CMMG says police departments in gun-ban states should not receive firearms, magazines, suppressors, or configurations that ordinary citizens are prohibited from owning—unless agency leadership is willing to take a public stand.

In this video, we break down CMMG’s law-enforcement sales policy, what it actually means for AR-15 ban states, why police exemptions create a major Second Amendment contradiction, and whether other firearm manufacturers could follow. We also examine how law enforcement may respond, the Founders’ concerns about government monopolizing effective arms, and the argument that citizens and government employees should not live under two different sets of gun laws.

Is CMMG’s position a meaningful stand for gun rights, or will police departments simply purchase from another manufacturer? Let me know where you stand in the comments.

Yes it is and yes they will - until other companies start doing the same. I think it's great and hope it catches on.

Absolutely refuse to sell to law enforcement any weapon not available to the public. Simple matter.

Yes. Ronnie told California police departments to come pick up the guns they had sent to his plant for service - and to not come back.

CMMG Made this statement on June 30. Been posted a couple of times already on FR.

Here's the original statement

That, or I can see the Dems making it a felony offense NOT to supply the government with advanced weaponry the citizens can’t have.

Breitbart ^

Missouri-based AR-15 manufacturer CMMG put law enforcement on notice in states that ban guns, making clear the company will only sell to them if they make “public and written statements” refusing to enforce “unconstitutional restrictions.”
