Crony capitalism is one of the themes of our time. Why should the big gun manufacturers be any different? One of the best expenditures any large company can make is to cozy up to big government.

Will the NRA do anything to alienate big gun manufacturers? Not likely. So the slide toward greater and greater socialism continues.

I don't think manufacturers should penalize LEOs for politician's choices.
That needs to be left up to people wanting to fight that battle.
If you feel strongly about a decision some state has made politically, boycott the state. Maybe write to the CEOs of companies in that state and tell them you will not do business with his company and why.
But an LEO is just trying to do his job, I wouldn't take his tools just to prove a point.

It's a display of how the community feels about a specific political issue, little more.
After seeing some of the legislation that passed, I don't agree with that.
It's an indication of how a particular group of politicians felt about it. The political fallout after the next election may be a better indication of how the community feels about it.

I think the citizens should have the same choices for self defense that the LEO has. If a state restricts a certain gun from private ownership police should not get to use it either.

So would Glock, HK, Remington, S&W and Sigarms. Those six manufacturers have 98% of the LE market in the country. Unless they all climb on board, it means VERY little.
:(

This right here. That is the absolute truth. Until one or more of these companies get on board with the issue, this list has very little effect on the total net outcome of it's intention.

This. A cop is no more than a sworn citizen. The manufacturers will sell to whomever they can every time. Most department guns are drop shipped anyway. And unless the little dealers quit carrying the Glocks, the S&Ws or the Sigs, all of this is old white guys bitching at the coffee shop.

Cops are people; one presumes they have consciences just the same as anybody else. If the laws are unjust, they should find an honest job rather than cowering behind the "just doing my job" excuse.
