I agree 100%Lugnut said:They should stop shipping to MA for LEO. Maybe that would get some attention from our fine AG.
C-pher said:I'm with the don't sell in MA thing. Screw it...like it was said...and I hate to say it...but the more that companies bow to our regulations, the more that it vilifies the AGs asinine "laws." And I use that word loosely.
LenS said:See my response to that in the GT thread.
LenS said:Folks here are showing a basic lack of knowledge of how LE sales are done.
Per Fed Law, LE agencies can order DIRECT from ANYONE, ANYWHERE in the US (and perhaps even import as well, never checked that out).
Getting EVERY distributor, mfr, dealer in all 50 states to ban all sales within MA isn't even possible . . . you'd have better luck herding cats! [Ever heard of the "profit motive"? ALL businesspeople are not going to slit their economic throats in unison, ever!]
Dream on!
LenS said:If you read the GT OP, he says/implies that the AG was looking for a visible indicator from BOTH SIDES! I know that none of the "extractor flags" are visible on both sides, which would tend to prove that the AG has a hard-on for Glock. Like your local chief using "discretion in determining suitability", the AG can and does the same!![]()
[Note: OP posted that thread in the Glocking and Cop Talk forums so it might be stated in one place and not the other.]
He tried one?Lugnut said:...why does the AG have it our for Glock and not Sig, etc.
Len, ya got a good point. Besides, I wouldn't be comfortable knowing my local LE was disarmed.LenS said:Folks here are showing a basic lack of knowledge of how LE sales are done.

Lugnut said:Yes. I was wondering about that as well wrt the Sig. Politics at its worst. I guess the only thing that is unclear (not that it matters) is why does the AG have it our for Glock and not Sig, etc.
JonJ said:He tried one?![]()
Sorry, couldn't resist.
boomerang said:+1 on that.
what is the difference with the new Glocks as different to the old ones?
Let's be realistic for a moment.LenS said:Ronnie Barrett has a small company, low production numbers and can easily control his distribution, parts and repair business.
Glock is too big, production numbers too high, too many certified armorers to pull the plug on one state and make it stick.
drgrant said:Glock has lots of references in drug/gang/rap subculture, etc.
rapture said:That makes as much sense as a football bat. Does that mean everytime a rapper sings about his "pimped out beamer" we need to start banning sales of BMW's? Cars are deadly weapons too! I remember back in the 80's everyone thought I was a drug dealer because I had a pager. You can't generalize based on music lyrics, otherwise every little kid that sings "Puff The Magic Dragon" would be looked at as a pothead! When are these ma**h*** liberals gonna get that through their heads?
drgrant said:I never said it made sense. It's just that type of mindset that flamingly
liberal authoritarian asshats like Reilly, Barrios, and Cheryl Jacques and the
rest of their ilk will use. Mind you, he's never come out and said anything
like that, but the bulls*it "motives" they use internally to justify their actions
are pretty easy to see.
