Now if Gun Manufacturers would get together for their very survival and immediately Halt ALL SALES to New York, California, and Any other State that Wants Strict Gun Control, help them out STOP SELLING TO THOSE STATES ENTIRELY. Actually I am surprised they haven’t done it yet.

As a CA resident I'm not sure what exactly you hope that would accomplish. It would punish all the pro gun people in those states while delighting the antis that passed those laws in the first place. It certainly wouldn't make the liberals who run the place repeal those laws. In addition, it would hurt the manufacturers, possibly even enough to put some out of business, which would be bad for gun owners in general. Doesn't make sense to me.

Yeah I know, But why would they sell to Government Agencies??
Seems to me that is wilfully and knowingly selling firearms to Criminals.

I see eyeamok replied to your post but I read it that mfgrs shouldn’t sell to those states, not that they shouldn’t sell to citizens of those states. I.e., they could sell to my nephew who lives in NY but not to Andy Cuomo’s state govt.

On "2nd Amendment Appreciation Day" (1/19), I went to my nearby gun shop to support them with an ammo purchase. They were completely out of all handgun ammo. Their owner had been to a dealers-only meet in Las Vegas and ordered around 200,000 rounds of various ammo for his shop, but said he only expected to see about a third of it delivered this year.

So, I went to my other local gun shop and was able to buy 200 rounds of pistol ammo. They are limiting ammo purchases to 200 rounds per customer to give everybody a chance. Hand loading supplies were tight too: no brass, primers hard to get, etc. I was also interested in seeing what I could get in revolvers. They used to have a case-full, but now had only two .22-cal revolvers. Everything is back-ordered.

It seems to me that refusing to sell arms and ammo in California wouldn't change things much in the San Francisco Bay Area. The heightened demand caused by our whacky left-wing governor, Dem legislators and moonbat enablers are doing the job already. We are locally notorious for being ground zero for Feinstein, Boxer and Pelosi!

Barrett, who makes the famous .50 cal, refuses to sell to any law agency in CA and he will not service the weapons, to this day...
