I wish 'BCM' was replaced with 'Smith and Wesson' and 'Milwaukee' was replaced with 'Massachusetts'

Good news nonetheless.

I can't say this for sure, but I believe that chief is a liar. He claims that in "less than three years, 7 of his officers were shot with assault rifles and/or semi automatic pistols". Note the "and/or".

Looking at the FBI uniform crime report data:

FBI ? Table 27

So nation wide, from 2001 to 2010, between 3 and 15 officers were killed with a rifle (a superset of "assault weapons"). Approximately 200 per year are injured by being shot:

FBI ? Table 70

These are nationwide figures. In the whole state of Wisconsin, an average of less than one officer per year is feloniously killed (includes officers killed by any means).

FBI ? Table 1

So, yes, all this adds up to it being possible that 7 officers in three years were shot. However, he's conflating pistols and rifles (once again, a superset of assault weapons) and twisting his points to make it sound way, way worse than it is in his city.

Isn't Flynn the former Boston cop whot took the top job in Springfield and then moved to Milwaukee, where he was banging some chick?

Very nice... I thing I'll go buy something from BCM.

It's like rewarding your dog with a biscut when they do something good and when they do something bad... no biscut (money).

See how that works Magpul.

This sounds like a likely senario. It sounds like some very liberal police officer from MA.

Did anyone listen to where Chief Flynn spent most of his career?
Look! Wait for it....Wait for it.... Now! Look closely. This is my surprised facial expression.

Joining the boycott is not an option for S&W, Glock, Sig, etc. They all have big LE contracts, and ANY regional boycott would have profound repercussions on these sales - particularly if only one of the biggies did it and the others did not. Not only would a company doing such a thing being seen as "not supporting LE" but, from a more practical level, would be seen as an unreliable supplier (except maybe to states like TX and KY that are in no danger of moonbattery).

He sure ran from Springfield fast. Good to see he's making friends all over with his excellent record on controlling violent crime.

 

[Nick Fury]

This is excellent. And the little guys keep stepping up....

Great company , I buy tons from them and will continue.

 

[Sir_Gawain]

I cant count the times i've said "I ****ing love BCM". Such a great company all around.

 

[Dream to Dream]

Not the cheapest prices, but usually very competitive, and they've never screwed up an order of mine in any way.

I plan to keep sourcing parts from them for a very, very long time.
