On February 22, "Right Views" reported that a growing number firearm companies have suspended the sale of guns to states, counties, cities and municipalities that restrict their citizens' rights to own them.
In just two weeks, the number of companies participating in what has been named the "Firearms Equality Movement," has more than tripled from 34 companies to 118.
The Police Loophole lists every company and links to the statements that each has released regarding their new policies.
Wilson Combat, a custom pistol manufacturer located in Berryville, Arkansas, joined the movement on February 28 stating the following:
"Wilson Combat will no longer provide any products or services to any State Government imposing legislation that infringes on the second amendment rights of its law abiding citizens. This includes any Law Enforcement Department, Law Enforcement Officers, or any State Government Entity or Employee of such an entity. This also applies to any local municipality imposing such infringements."

Good for them and us. I will be augmenting my own collection and will purchase from these true patriotic manufacturers. Semper fidelis!
I don’t think this will work, because the DHS is giving military weaponry to police organizations. As long as anyone sells to the DHS, or other federal agencies, this backdoor remains open.
Call, mail, email, or otherwise contact the manufacturers from whom you have purchased weapons and indicate that you feel that it is important that they choose which side they are on.
Be polite, but inform them that their actions at this critical moment will have repercussions. Inform them that your continued commerce is contingent on their strong defense of the equal right to keep and bear arms.
The civilian market is huge, they must be forced to stand with it or commit commercial suicide.
When will they discontinue selling to the US government?
Because they seem to be more concerned with their bottom lines, I suppose they are not going to do anything until the market forces them to.
I was talking to a local officer today, he said the department has stopped supplying ammunition for practice, only for qualification.
Beretta is under contract with the US Military to sell them M-9’s (92F) so they are contractually obligated to sell to the Military.
Glock supplies many PD’s and they should boycott any state/city that has anti-2A laws.
is DPMS on the list?
I would think all AR makers without an existing goobermint contract would be.
