Gun Companies Boycott New York.

"Barrett Firearms, LaRue Tactical, Olympic Arms, Extreme Firepower Inc, Templar Custom and York Arms have all stopped selling firearms to all New York law enforcement and government agencies. A number of them are also starting to call for an industry wide boycott on any state who bans civilian ownership. The boycott is in response to New York’s latest efforts to strip the American public’s 2nd amendment rights."

Not only that, they will refuse to sell parts, repair or honor warranty

"If companies like Glock, Smith & Wesson and SIG Sauer join the fight, we may actually see some of these States start to back off." Rumors are Glock is going to join the ban, we shall see.

Refusing to sell I can understand. But refusing to honor an existing warranty may be illegal.

I do like this response

Effective today, in an effort to see that no legal mistakes are made by LaRue Tactical and/or its employees, we will apply all current State and Local Laws (as applied to civilians) to state and local law enforcement / government agencies.
In other words, LaRue Tactical will limit all sales to what law-abiding citizens residing in their districts can purchase or possess.

Most firearms manufactures already make California legal versions of their firearms that are banned there (look at the Colt catalog) it is not very hard to make a 7 round magazine you simply put a stopper to take up 3 more rounds in a 10 round magazine.(CA limit is 10 rounds)

In fact if I owned a firearm company I'd make a design meet the requirements of New York and charge a higher price for it then I get sales that the companies that refuse to sell wont make I smell a business opportunity.I bet you Colt is already making New York compliant AR-15s or tooling up to do so.

Could be a battle, but if the gun is deemed illegal, maybe the warranty is no longer valid.

Course the criminals will have no problem getting all the weapons they need.

If we could only get the guns out of the hands of the police, if we could only save one criminals life,, instead of filling him full of holes..I got the fix for gun violence, you make it easier to get a good paying job and be able to keep it than to committ a crime...I'm from New York I can't believe the mess that state is in,, from what,, I gather there is a movement that folks are buying goods and services across state lines so not too pay New York sales taxes, you vote every day with your dollars,, vote wisely....

Yep, lot's of guns and cigarettes coming across state lines.

What a strange topic.
Looks like those arms manufacturers are shooting themselves in the foot, though on further insection they are just announcing some meaningles advertising/politcal spin for people to parrot.
If you look at it then apart from the silly bit which would open the firms to legal action for breach of contract the statement from LaRue actually says they are going to stop ...no legal sales at all to any state
