    THAT is a friend of the Second Amendment, a member of the community....AND a successful, non Libtard, businessman who puts principle in front of profit- as it should be.
    BCM as well.

    But, both companies TRULY UNDERSTAND their clientele and knew that despite the risk, most of their customers would understand and continue to support them. Not posers, people who know and understand their customers and know they will reward people who do the right thing-even if there is risk involved!

    Do we care about moral courage or are things like honor, truth etc...just words we pay lip sevice to when its convenient and we want to "fit in" or make a buck?

    The answer is yes, Ronnie Barrett "discovered a need" in the arsenal of many nations and built a successful business around it. Yes, he told California and others to stuff it when they decided to use his products as examples in their gun control initiatives.

    But even you realize the situations are apples and oranges. And trying to link the two of them will cause significant mental gymnastics on your part.

    Not really.

    1. Both businesses claim to be part of and market to the 2A community.

    2. Both were presented with decisions that were potentially controversial, that could have cost them money and risked alienating a significant portion of their clientele.

    3. One chose to take a principled stand, even if it meant they might lose business because it was the right thing to do-AND, they understood their consumer-because they weren't just play acting. The other, tucked tail and ran.

    I don't see any gymnastics there, simple facts.

    Well, the states they refused to do business with banned their product...I hardly see this as a good comparison.

    In fact, I don’t think Barrett was in any way “alienating clientele”, rather actually hyping them up.

    Just imagine if Glock, Sig, Ruger, S&W followed suit....

    Pretty tough to "police" in America without a pistol.....The same guys that laugh about the Lefts calls for disarming police and making them social workers should be able to understand the concept . One would think anyway...

    Those companies, Glock especially, care nothing about the second amendment short of the fact that it protects their business demand to some degree.

    Probably not far from the truth unfortunately.....Simply a mental exercise.
