With the way the government’s been making noises about passing gun control laws, I think gun companies should exercise a little gun control of their own and refuse to sell guns or ammunition to any government agencies. Let’s see how the government does without any guns or ammo.

That's already happened. I didn't keep track, being a casual reader, but there were two companies last week that essentially will be doing this.

The first company said they'd fulfill government/law enforcement orders LAST, their order being military-civilian-local government.

The other company said they were not going to sell to New York...PERIOD. Nothing. Orders already placed by civilians could be picked up from shipping destinations outside NY or they could get a refund, and the NY state gov and local NY municipalities could simply do without their business.

This is the right-wing version of the left's boycotts. We can play the economic game, too.

'bout time we did.

Several companies have done just that. None of the majors though, AFIK.
