Update: The Latest Complete List Of Gun Makers & Sellers Saying 'No!' To Law Enforcement In Anti-2nd Amendment States
February 24, 2013
"If you want possess these items please get involved with your local politics.
As we mentioned in our story on Friday, momentum appears to be building in the movement that has gun makers (and a few gun retailers) rejecting business from law enforcement agencies in states where the Second Amendment is being compromised by gun control laws.
Atop the list of states with restrictive laws:
- New York
- California
- Illinois
- Hawaii
Some of the companies that reached out to us since Friday:

Arizona-based, high-capacity magazine distributor Climags - has a page that details the states with limits on the size of ammunition magazines. And the company's "Frequently Asked Questions" (FAQ) page also has this statement:
Q. Why was my Order Cancelled?A. Typically it is because the items you ordered are not legal in either the place where it is being shipped to or your billing address. Please double check our High Capacity Laws page. We do NOT make [exceptions] for Military or Law Enforcement, if you want possess these items please get involved with your local politics. If your order is cancelled you will be issued a refund and emailed a reason for the cancellation.
Jim Sirochman of American Spirit Arms posted a video on YouTube that says, "Count us in!"
A. Scott Mangels of Next Step Tactical sent his company's statement:

The 2nd Amendment was created to secure the ability of the citizens of the United States to protect themselves from tyranny and oppression as well as for personal protection. It is Next Step Tactical's policy to refuse the sale of our products and services to any organization or agency that is attempting to create an arms superiority over their citizenry and diminish the God given rights the U.S. Constitution Guarantees.
But it is not just sales to law enforcement that are at risk here. Jobs are also on the line. At least one Colorado company, Magpul, has warned that the shift in that state's laws could force an entire company to leave the state. The cost in jobs would be substantial. And CEO Doug Smith is not kidding. Here's the ad that Magpul has been running in local papers.
