The number of gun companies who have decided to stop selling to anti-second amendment state governments has grown to 44.
Pushback: The number of gun companies who have decided to stop selling to anti-second amendment state governments has grown to 44.
None of the companies listed include any of the big gun or ammo manufacturers, but give it time. The government is sometimes their biggest customer, so to sacrifice that income requires a level of commitment they might not yet be ready to make. Nonetheless, I expect it is only a matter of time before some of the heavy players join this effort, if only to apply pressure to state governments. And when a few do, all will feel pressure to join in.
Readers!
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. Your support allows me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.

Even if the big companies don’t join in all that has to happen is the FFL holders can refuse to order from them anymore.
If no local gun dealer agrees to bring the guns into the area the local police forces would have to go elsewhere. And importing a firearm across state lines without involving an FFL is next to impossible.
This may explain the unprecedented purchasing of ammunition by federal agencies. Think of it as a covert form of influence over ammunition manufacturers that subtley lets them know where their bread is buttered now and in the future, as long as they don’t make any waves about the Obama administration gun grab and 2nd amemdment trashing.
No the purchase is only a little over what they normally buy each year.
Its just that normally each division would try to buy its needed ammo off the local market. And now the feds think they can get a better deal if they buy it all at once for bulk discount.
I will only fear the feds if they stop the import of ammo.
