#WHEN THE RIVER RUNS DRY ARMOURY SHOW PRO#

Leaving them a carve out just saved themselves while putting smaller dealers like myself out of business. My business, and many others fighting for the same rights we all want, will be dead in the water long before then. Problem is, elections don’t happen today (things slowly seem to be coming around in IL but it is definitely a slow process) and the legal process could take a decade to overturn it. Ok… I’m off my soapbox… Sorry for the outburst but damn this crap really gets to me! I really hope Rob Leatham will show us he still has integrity and leaves Springfield Armory! I respect him and expect him to do the right thing. Want a new AR or striker handgun and are enamored with the options that come with the Saint and the extra mags and accessories that come with the XD and 1911 lines? DO NOT PURCHASE! If the need to own one is too great then BUY USED! Make damn sure none of your dollars goes to these scumbags!

I was interested in the xdm and xde and the M1A was on my list for this upcoming year but I will NOT be buying any of these! Anyone who makes any excuses for these bastard companies is in cahoots, either consciously or subconsciously with the socio-communistic, ultra libtarded, pro homosexual, baby murdering, anti white, anti American, pro pedophilia cocklicking scumbags!ĭisagree? Then you are the above mentioned filth!Īll we have complete and utter free control of in this world is our INTEGRITY! How we all can have an impact on these traitorous ball sweat drinking asses is by not purchasing any of their products! Support Spikes Tactical, BCM, Beretta etc… I know for a fact that Spikes WILL NOT sell or provide to any state or federal agencies where the civilians are prohibited from owning the same item! Support these guys! Will there be a similar consumer backlash here, or will The People of the Gun view this as a minor accommodation? We’ll see how this plays in the court of public opinion.

As we pointed out in our Question of the Day, Smith & Wesson and Ruger paid an enormous price when they sacrificed gun rights on the altar of government “cooperation.” Springfield Armory and Rock River’s decision to cut a deal on licensing in Illinois - enabling the antis’ desire to control FFL dealer sales - is a dangerous gamble. We will be publishing that statement in a few minutes in a following post ( you can read it here). Less than an hour ago, Springfield CEO Dennis Reese issued a statement about the IFRA capitulation. I asked both Springfield and Rock River for comment on the then-pending deal with anti-gun legislators. From there it went to the Senate floor, where it passed by the aforementioned one vote margin (note: at least 30 “yes” votes are required for a bill to pass in the Illinois Senate). That serves as a very public position on a bill in Illinois politics. With that amendment, IFMA dropped its opposition to the bill, going neutral on the witness slip. State Senator Don Harmon delivered on his end of the deal with an amendment exempting big box stores and manufacturers from this scheme.

At the time, Jay Keller and IFMA opposed it.Īt a March Senate hearing, however, Keller stated that IFMA would drop its opposition to SB-1657 and go neutral if legislators gave the state’s gun makers a pass. To be clear, the original version of SB-1657 did not exempt manufacturers from the licensing regulations. Two companies provide the bulk of the funding for IFMA: Springfield Armory and Rock River Arms.
