Desert Tactical Arms of Utah has made a decision to turn down millions of dollars in business and not sell guns to Pakistan.

The company’s management originally decided to throw their hat into the ring when an open-bid situation became available. However, after they learned that they were the front runner to win the contract they changed their mind. Desert Tactical Arms decided to make a decision that was based on morals and not on dollars.

Nnah, he’s one of those evil ‘Purists’ I see a lot of Freepers bitch about for sticking to their principles.

They should go to his forum and tell him he’s wrong for doing it. Like they do here.

My guess is they will make up those millions in domestic sales once word of this gets around. That whole capitalism thing and all. It actually works. They aren’t stupid.

Pakistan has been playing both sides for 50 years.

I’d like to know the back story. Why’d they submit the bid in the first place?

Take two aspirin and write a check to the DNC - the only thing the "purists" have done is to strengthen the far Left's hold. A Ted Cruz, Mike Lee and others can do more with wishy-washy RINOS than they can with hard left commies. It took decades of neglect on our side to allow the hard left turn and it will take decades to set it straight. There is no magic elixer - it will have to be won back inch, by hard-earned inch. It's nice to dream about electing 100 solid conservatives and making a huge course change, but it ain't reality. Insistence on it only pads the Dim side of the aisle and does nothing to even start to dilute the pollution on our side of it.

Did I suggest taking a couple aspirin? Maybe Virgil Goode can lend you some.
