blue109 Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 (edited) Should have expected it from subjects of the crown. Hope Barret takes a good size chunk of their business for this. https://www.standard.co.uk/business/us-needs-greater-gun-controls-says-rifle-boss-a3707436.html#comments Edited December 8, 2017 by blue109 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DNP Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 From a business standpoint...I'm sure they'd love to see the semi's off the list and see more people building and buying bolt guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richyankee Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Spinelessness is fashionable in merry old England. I don't think they ever fully recovered from the beatings they took over here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StainTrain Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 There is a thread over at Sniper's Hide that clarifies the situation. It appears the comments were taken out of context. It would take more than one article written by a biased reporter to convince me that AI was Anti-Gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue109 Posted December 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Id like to see the quote in context. I have a pretty low tolerance for infringement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StainTrain Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 https://forum.snipershide.com/forum/snipers-hide®-armory-supply/sniper-s-hide-bolt-action-rifles/6771600-ai-does-not-want-more-us-gun-control Here is one of the many threads. I am pretty sure Tom Irwin isn't wanting to restrict Americans access to weapons considering the U.S. is likely the largest civilian consumers of his product. I trust Accuracy International more than I do European reporters/media. If the man says the reporter took things out of context, then I will leave it at that barring any new evidence. In my view, Accuracy International supports Freedom Loving Warfighters across the globe and that alone impedes any impulse I have to jump on the hate wagon without compelling evidence.

Same mentality as Ronnie Barrett. He didn't "hate" Californians, when he banned his own sales to their state - he wasn't going to sell to a state with such draconian gun laws...

blue109 Posted December 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 (edited) To be fair, Barrett stopped selling to CA gov/le to spotlight the fact that the whole point of the 2A was to ensure we the people were able to defend ourselves from that same gov/le should the need arise. Supporting warfighters doesnt always correlate to supporting freedom. Barrett made his stance on that very clear. Theres a good chance AI was totally misquoted. Theres a good chance he was ambushed by the question and didnt really think his response through. Theres a good chance he thinks he believes in the right to bear arms, but through no fault of his own doesnt really have a fundamental understanding of the concept. whole thing was probably blown out of proportion but i have to admit i like seeing torches. Sends a message. Edited December 7, 2017 by blue109 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue109 Posted December 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 I read it. Probably true. Could also just be backpedaling from the immediate response the article got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachmaster Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 Being anti semi auto, or anti one thing or the other, from a world standpoint, isnt anti gun NECESSARILY. It is ANTI freedom and anti AMERICA. For me, that is all added up to "bye felicia" I dont understand how people get away with so much by saying "i didnt say that" or "thats not what i meant" I hate commies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARTrooper Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 Not like I could afford one anyways. lol. Would much rather build a bolt gun than spend tons of money for one that someone else made... unless of course it was unique like a desert tactical.

ARTrooper Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 I have burger king hands, so I'm not a huge fan of their grips, otherwise I'm in love with those rifles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
