Accuracy International in the neck?

Should have expected it from subjects of the crown. Hope Barret takes a good size chunk of their business for this.

Another one for my Do Not Buy list.

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.

  Sounds about right , I wasn't going to purchase any of their products any way .

Spinelessness is fashionable in merry old England. I don't think they ever fully recovered from the beatings they took over here.

  Brits need to worry about there own fukin problems.

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. 

[blue109]

Id like to see the quote in context. I have a pretty low tolerance for infringement.

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]

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.

if you read that link, you'll find that it contains a direct phonecall with Tom Irwin of AI on this matter.

From that link:

I read it. Probably true. Could also just be backpedaling from the immediate response the article got. 

[beachmaster]

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

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.

[unforgiven]

Got lost over there..again https://deserttech.com/firearms.php  

[ARTrooper]

yup 

[Sisco]

Thank goodness I am lefthanded and can’t afford it. 

[unforgiven]

They have left and right hand brother Sisco...just sayin.

It is a very slick setup...with the ability to change calibers...I am spoiled by gas guns.

Desert Tech...yeah, I've been on one or two of those. Little pricey for me, but they were really ice shooters. 

[ARTrooper]

I have burger king hands, so I'm not a huge fan of their grips, otherwise I'm in love with those rifles.
