Press Release: Olympic Arms, Inc. Announces New York State Sales Policy

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Olympic Arms is a staunch believer in and defender of the Constitution of the United States, and with special attention paid to the Bill of Rights that succinctly enumerates the security of our Divinely given Rights. One of those Rights is that to Keep and Bear Arms.

Legislation recently passed in the State of New York outlaws the AR15 and many other firearms, and will make it illegal for the good and free citizens of New York to own a large selection of legal and safe firearms and magazines. We feel as though the passage of this legislation exceeds the authority granted to the government of New York by its citizens, and violates the Constitution of the United States, ignoring such SCOTUS rulings as District of Columbia v. Heller - 554, U.S. 570 of 2008, McDonald v. Chicago - 561 U.S. 3025 of 2010, and specifically the case of United States v. Miller – 307 U.S. 174 of 1939.

Due the passing of this legislation, Olympic Arms would like to announce that the State of New York, any Law Enforcement Departments, Law Enforcement Officers, First Responders within the State of New York, or any New York State government entity or employee of such an entity - will no longer be served as customers.

In short, Olympic Arms will no longer be doing business with the State of New York or any governmental entity or employee of such governmental entity within the State of New York - henceforth and until such legislation is repealed, and an apology made to the good people of the State of New York and the American people.

If the leaders of the State of New York are willing to limit the right of the free and law abiding citizens of New York to arm themselves as they see fit under the Rights enumerate to all citizens of the United State through the Second Amendment, we feel as though the legislators and government entities within the State of New York should have to abide by the same restrictions.

This action has caused a division of the people into classes: Those the government deems valuable enough to protect with modern firearms, and those whose lives have been deemed as having less value, and whom the government has decided do not deserve the right to protect themselves with the same firearms. Olympic Arms will not support such behavior or policy against any citizen of this great nation.

Olympic Arms invites all firearms manufacturers, distributors and firearms dealers to join us in this action to refuse to do business with the State of New York. We must stand together, or we shall surely fall divided.

Sincerely,

Brian Schuetz
President
Olympic Arms, Inc.

Interesting. Not typical of olyarms, but a good move and a repeat of Ronnie Barrett's action against California. One of the ways to help curb the tide of these restrictions is to remove the LE/MIL exemption by refusing to sell to .gov what can't be sold to the people.

I sure feel good about that Oly purchase I made right before this last mess started, $725 for a carbine out the door with a tru-glo red dot and three boxes of ammo so it was a steal by todays standards. Sadly that 60 rounds is all my poor nephew has got so it only has a few rounds out of it for sighting in, the rest are reserved for holding off the coyotes during calving season. Now I really want to give the rifle a good test, if the rifle is half as squared away as the company we should be real happy!
Where is that big firearms conglomerate that stamps NY on the gun? You'd think they would have the same interest?

There is nothing wrong with Olys, despite some people on the web who complain about them. The Plinker Plus was one of the great values in AR's.

So far I have heard that "LaRue Tactical" and "Cheaper than Dirt" have also joined in this.


Anyone have any other companies saying they are in also? It'd be nice to have a list of em... :)
