Boycott Remington and let them know about it. Long past time to draw some bright lines.

I didn’t know Remington was still making guns. Are they any good?

Maybe if you gave it to me. Otherwise, not a chance. I won’t be purchasing any firearms or ammunition from manufacturers that are tolerant of/complicit in the undermining of the second amendment.

Well damn. I recently bought a new 870 tactical and then put a ton of stuff on it.... I have about $1,400 into this project + cases of ammo. This timing sucks.

I intend to buy a second shotgun, it will not be a Remington.

The date on the story is March 8th.

Has anyone verified the story or verified whether this is still Remington's position?

They’ve only been making guns since 1816.

I always found that Remingtons worked well.

Plus their ammo WAS fine.

Maybe the market will help them to find the way.
