Banning government guns!

Firearms Companies Restricting Sales To GOVERNMENT Agencies In Areas That Restrict Gun Rights

Interesting turnabout isn't it?
A growing number of firearm and firearm-related companies have stated they will no longer sell items to states, counties, cities and municipalities that restrict their citizens' rights to own them.

According to The Police Loophole, 34 companies have joined in publicly stating that governments who seek to restrict 2nd Amendment rights will themselves be restricted from purchasing the items they seek to limit or ban.

I think that's a great idea. There are so many guns in the United States that if we never made and sold another one, we wouldn't run out for a long, long, long, long time.

I wonder if part of the motivation for this is that with the supply of firearms choking as it is, the companies can make more money selling what they are producing to the public. Or maybe they are just that bad-ass. I don't know.

I like this policy, if it is too good for the public to own, then it should also be too good for the government to own.
