Magpul going to move CO residents to the front of the line

[CJ]

Under that program, magazines have to go to an official LEO or MIL address if they live in restricted states

What I'm saying is they shouldn't be sending 30rd mags to police officers in New York for instance, when the civilians can only have 7 rounds in their mags. If it's good enough for civilians, it good enough for police officers. And if it isn't, then they need to repeal the law.

I know, I was just confirming that they are shipping to LEO/MIL in ban states

[bigmuskie]

I agree with what y'all are saying, I was just passing it along to our military and LEO's on this board.

They're also offering a similar deal for current military and LEOs in any state, not just CO. Copied and pasted from another forum.

Thank you for contacting us. During this period of high demand, we at Magpul are taking steps to ensure that Military and Law Enforcement professionals that use our products in their job-related activities can still obtain the magazines they need for on-duty use. To meet this need, we have set up a process for Mil/LE purchase of up to ten PMAGs per account from our website.

And "Booo" Magpul

While nearly 100 companies have pledged to hold all purchasers of firearms and accessories to the standard of what’s available to everyday civilians, in what’s commonly known as the New York boycott, Armalite and now Magpul have taken an opposing stand. (See also The Police Loophole.) The good folks at Magpul have instead sided with Armalite against freedom and law-abiding American firearm owners – and what’s more, they’ve one-upped Armalite in their sales practices . . .

According to Magpul sales manager (in a post at AR15.com) Justin Beard:

. . . our Distributors are allowed to sell to LEOs in ban states. Our founder has also said regarding LEO restrictions, “We have not considered such a move as we are not convinced that this tactic will have any effect on those in power (they will just buy Israeli or some other generic parts). It also adversely punishes street cops, local sheriffs and individual military members for the actions of those in power. The last thing we want to do is hurt those who support our cause.”

So, we see that we can support Law Enforcement and Military members while standing up for our convictions and will continue to do everything in our power to protect our inherent rights.

Yes, indeed. The last thing they want to do is hurt those who support “our” cause. Apparently, to Magpul, that means supporting those who will enforce unconstitutional restrictions on our Second Amendment rights.

As we said, Magpul has one-upped Armalite and, to add insult to injury, not only are they selling products to law-enforcement that are banned to civilians in those states, they have established an express lane for law enforcement “professionals” to get their standard-capacity PMAGs right away — even law enforcement officers in restricted access states such as New York that now ban sales of standard capacity magazines to civilians.

These law enforcement professionals will use these PMAGs in the course of their job-related activities to arrest and prosecute gun owners who were law-abiding at the end of 2012, but are no longer. Both military and law-enforcement can order up to ten PMAGs in this “express lane”.

From the Magpul website as reported by FN Forums:

It’s clear that Magpul believes in two classes of purchasers for their products. We sincerely wish them the best in selling to police and government agencies, wherever they may be.

What a fucking cop out.

[sc281]

If anybosy should have been willing to cut off ban state, it should have been Magpul. With all the demand they have right now, it's not like they would lose any money on it.

[Ruffdaddy]

Boycott magpul? Can we????

[sc281]

Boycott magpul? Can we????

Already gotz mine. BOYCOTT!!!

[Lason]

As fucked up as it is no one will ever boycott magpul. Blow up their Facebook and twitter, the only way companies cave in the modern day is social media.

My view of magpul has diminished though.

Anyone who thinks any major corporation that has any amount of LEO or govt contracts and connections is a fool to think they'd stop selling shit to these people.

Out of the entire list of companies that sells guns and or gun products, not a single one has any sort of influence on LEO or govt sales.

Many companies have done just that actually.

Done what?

[CJ]

Done what?

^ read above. They do not sell magazines and other restricted equipment to LEO in ban states.

[David]

And which one of those has significant LEO/GOV contracts? If anything Barrett maybe. However, most LEOs aren't buying what Barrett sells anyways and they still sell to the military/gov. Larue might be another option although slim.

The rest are distributors and or small fish in a big pond and like I said none of which makes any significant impact other than making gun owners feel good about their company.
