Olympic Arms Stops All Sales to NY LEOs

Can we get any ammo manufacturers to follow suit?

 I will be the first to say I may be wrong on this, but I don't think the law banned any types of ammo.

One thing I notice is that all of the companies listed probably get very little in gov't contracts.  Its still good but if its only less than 10-20% of total sales they aren't missing much.  I'd be REALLY impressed if I saw S&W, FN, Glock, or Sig since they have a much higher percentage of contracts with local, state, and federal Leo's.

Since S&W did nothing in response to the restrictions in MA, I doubt very much you'll hear anything but crickets!  I may be wrong..

There are tons of state and federal laws on ammo.

You're totally missing the point, as far as I know the only state that restricts the type of ammo you can use is NJ and that law has been in place for years.

A few states out west ban tracers.   Federally ap pistol ammo is baned.

I've helped put out enough fires at the MG range to know why that happened, but I would never mention it to an anti and they are to ignorant to know about it otherwise.
But JBet says in NJ you are not allowed to shoot some one with Hollow points.
Apparently you can own them, you just can't use them .

Thats what I have heard as well.   sadly I do understand the tracer thing.   i don't like it. a couple idiots can ruin it for every one else.

While they can ask anything, Sig and Glock have to much to loose doing that. The companies that are announcing they won't sell to NY or what have you only have state and local contracts.  Sig and Glock both have federal contracts.  Plus they are parts of foreign owned so if they stop honoring their federal contracts, they would soon find themselves out of the US market.  Wouldn't shut them down but would suck for us.  Lucky for Smith they are now wholy US owned.

Dunno about that. If Sig, Glock and Berretta were to stop selling guns and mags to NY LEOs....That would leave them issuing what? Its the ammo makers that need to follow suite as well. Winchester, Federal and Remington, sure they make a lot on LEO sales, but they wouldn't be cutting off the supplies to all states. Just  make an example out of NY. They make far more selling to the civilian and military markets and those would be uneffected.
