Barrett Joins the Boycott...

A statement from Ronnie Barrett:

Barrett’s Position Regarding the Assault on Liberty
February 20, 2012

Barrett opposes those who are illegally disarming the American public from their efficient arms and creating superior armed elitist government agencies.

Elected state officials of New York, having been sworn to protect our Constitution, have instead committed an offense against it and their citizens by stripping inalienable rights duly protected and guaranteed under the Second Amendment. By their deliberate and sinister actions, these officials now cause their state and local policing agencies to enforce these unconstitutional and illegal so called “laws”.

By current law, Barrett cannot be an accomplice with any lawbreaker, therefore, cannot and will not service or sell to New York government agencies. Barrett also applies this stance to the individual elected official who, as a matter of public record, has voted for or created regulation that violates the constitutional rights of their citizens. This is an expansion of our 2002 ban against the California government due to their second amendment infringements, and shall apply to any future violators.

In the course of world history there have been officials that strip inalienable rights from the people that were given to all by our Creator. Most of these officials inevitably come to trial, some do not.

Intentionally violating constitutional rights by officials that have sworn to uphold them should have severe prison sentences.

With the clear vision of horrible events in history repeating itself, all manufacturers of firearms or related equipment remaining in partnership with such violators should have a respectable fear of being found with the guilty on their day of trial.

During this era of assault on liberty, Barrett will remain steadfast in our efforts to serve law-abiding citizens of all fifty states, and stands together with you in the struggles we will fight and win.

Chairman and CEO

Awesome,kudos to them.

 

[SCTom]

Yeah, ballsy letter and right on the mark but I doubt NY purchases much from Barrett. Sure would be nice if the major LE firearm suppliers would follow suit but as we all know, it's all about the money.

Outstanding Barrett!

Are you kidding? The NYPD alone has three or four of them in its arsenal, and they are aircraft mountable.

Would be outstanding if Glock stepped up to the plate.

Isn't Glock an Austrian company? I'm sure they want the profits, but they probably don't give a damn about our rights...

Does the Randy Weaver Sniper still work for Barrett?

 

[Pir8fan]

I wonder if any of these companies' actions are mentioned in the CA or NY press.

 

[sailmotion]

Awesome! I will do my best to direct my future purchases to any company that has taken similar steps. Hopefully, these companies will experience increased profits, even without the income from municipalities, for doing the right thing.

Hard to say. I didn't get this from the media, they posted it on FB.

Last I heard, Horiuchi was working with HS Precision. That was a few years ago. The only thing I have found that connects him with Barrett in any way is a post from a former Barrett employee who says Horiuchi visited Barrett one time and used their range to test fire a couple .50's. He said Horiuchi was a first-rate jerk who couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with a firearm that had already been properly sighted in.

Ahhh! Yes, my apologies. HS it is. No affiliation with Barrett. My future alzheimers doing a test run.

It happens to all of us at some point!
