Dozens of Gun Manufacturers Refusing to Sell to Some State/Local Governments [View all]

http://www.catholic.org/business/story.php?id=49870

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The grassroots movement is a backlash against increasingly restrictive firearm laws across the nation. Several private arms manufacturers have now publicly stated that they will no longer sell weapons and ammunition to law enforcement and other government agencies.

Some agencies have cancelled contracts altogether while others have said they will not sell anything that is illegal for citizens in a given state to posses. For example, if a particular firearm is illegal to posses in one state, then the weapons will not be sold to law enforcement either.

With the exception of Cheaper Than Dirt and Barrett, I don't see any major companies on the list. I suspect that most of them don't have any government contracts and are not sacrificing any business. Most are likely on there as a publicity stunt. Still it is an interesting development.
