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entity or employee of such governmental entity within the State of New York - henceforth and until such legislation is repealed, and an apology made to the good people of the State of New York and the American people.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.

Followed by LaRue:

Updated Policy for State and Local Agency Law Enforcement Sales:

Due to the recent and numerous new Anti-gun/Anti-2nd Amendment laws passed and/or pending across our country, LaRue Tactical has been forced to reconsider how we provide products to state and local agencies.

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.

State and local laws have always been a serious focus of this firm, and we are now dovetailing that focus with the constitutional rights of the residents covered in their different areas by the old and new regulations.

We realize this effort will have an impact on this firm's sales - and have decided the lost sales are less danger to this firm than potential lawsuits from erroneous shipments generated by something as simple as human error.

Thanks in advance for your understanding.

Mark LaRue

I will only buy from companies that take this stance, where the rights of citizens come before anyone else. At the end of the day, LEO's have families they want to protect like anyone else, and they need to continue to re-iterate to these enemies within that they are on the side of the People and the Bill of Rights, like the Utah State Sheriff's Association did with its letter to comrade Hussein.

If I were a manufacturer, I would recall the products for safety from every statist governor's security detail, and then cite the governor's stupidity as a restriction on me being able to send the products back to them. I'm sure I could find plenty of customers willing to pay top dollar for anything available right now as well, after billing the offenders for their attack on legitimate business, followed by a lawsuit for their assault on civil rights, while excluding themselves from the restrictions.

My products are not safe in the hands of tyrants, and this type of improper use of them voids any warranties, repairs, or even possession of weapons and accessories. They are dangerous to society and the freedom of the people in the hands of criminals, so no sane manufacturer or distributor can supply the enemy within in good consciousness.

United we are-never back down. Good find costa. The American gun owners gang, and a few manufactures are rising up to meet the challenges, presented by the present group of gun grabber wanna be's. We shall prevail. No matter what idiocy shows up here in MN, they get nothing from us-the local sherrifs agreed-we Will not follow orders, if deemed un-neccessary-or in violation of our states citizenry to protect themselves- the public has a basic right to self defend itself, by what ever method is avaiable. Second amend., is fine w/ them. They rely on us---their response time is too long.

Manufacturers need to send legal notice to the wannabe tyrannical governors and city public servants who think they can trample over law-abiding people's rights that their products can't be warrantied in the hands of public servants who don't respect their employers.

They might consider making an open offer to attorneys representing the different agencies making it officially clear that their products are a liability in the wrong hands, and they will be willing to testify to that end during civil and criminal suits.

"We warned them on __/__/2013 that our products couldn't be lawfully or safely used given their blatant disregard and reckless behavior as public servants in the face of their masters, your honor."

Kudos to the companies standing up for everyones rights!

Everyone needs to write/email/call S&W and Glock to ask them to do the same...that would make a bigger impact.
