Templar Custom Announces New York State Sales Policy

[Nimaro]

Add another one to the list! Hopefully we see many more announcements like these.

Apex, North Carolina --(Ammoland.com)- New York State has recently passed the NY SAFE Act, which prohibits law-abiding New York citizens from purchasing and using many of the most common rifles, handguns, and shotguns in the United States, along with most standard magazines made for these firearms.
The law, rammed through the New York legislature in roughly 30 hours before the legislators themselves or the general public could respond, is a blatant violation of the New York State Constitution.
A plain, common-sense reading of the recent Heller decision also shows that the NY SAFE Act is also a blatant and purposefully affront to the Second Amendment of the United States, and is clearly not a constitutional law.
We cannot legally sell rifles to New Yorkers as private citizens.
We will not sell arms to agents of the state of New York that hold themselves to be “more equal” than their citizens.
As long as the legislators of New York think they have the power to limit the rights of their citizens, in defiance of the Constitution, we at Templar will not sell them firearms to enforce their edicts.
Templar Custom is announcing 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 will no longer be served as customers.
We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal. Before the law and before their creator, all people are equal. When the political class attempts to set itself above the people, we at Templar Custom will always side with the people.
We will also be reviewing the laws of the various states to determine if others will be joining New York on our “Do Not Sell” list.
Templar Custom 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,
Bob Reynolds
President
Templar Custom, Inc.

This movement MUST grow! We all need to be pinging the major firms with LE contracts to follow suit!

You said it. The more companies that do this the better. That will really send a message. It will be great to see New York unable to get new equipment from anyone because no one will sale to them.

 

[TulsaGeoff]

Good for them. Now only if S&W, Colt, DPMS, Bushmaster, and Daniel Defense would jump on board.

 

[Old Fart]

I'm afraid it just means the LEO community in NY state will just have to buy from the same guys that criminals up there buy from.
But I totally support the concept and movement.

New York politicians wanted to pass Gun Control on their citizens, but they did'nt expect Gun Control to be passed against them!

I applaud there efforts and fully support their decision. I too hope that other manufacturers and sellers will follow suit. If people stop selling to the state and manufacturers stop producing in the state, it would certainly create a situation that would get noticed.
