I know some of the Mods etc, think that it is stupid and not effective, but personally, I think that it’s great when a company stands up for what is right. It takes a lot of courage to stand up and say enough is enough and its great to see BCM step up in such a way.
Thank you Paul!
Our stance on the 2nd Amendment.
“A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”
The founding fathers made the right to keep and bear arms second only to the freedom of speech in the Bill of Rights. Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, George Mason, Samuel Adams and so many others, labored tirelessly to create a new nation with laws free from the tyranny of the old country. A place where the government would represent the people, not repress them.
As Americans, we have the luxury of living in a developed society where we can develop ourselves through education and critical debate. We have a responsibility to question ideas and confront issues that we have a stake in as citizens of this nation, be that the rights of yourselves or the rights of others when threatened by the state. Firearms are, first and foremost, a tool to secure your life and the lives of others, against any aggressor.
[b][u]The people at Bravo Company USA and BCM support responsible private individuals having access to the same tools of civilian Law Enforcement to affect the same ends. Securing and defending ourselves, our loved ones and innocent people if the situation arises. As such Bravo Company’s policy is that law enforcement officials and departments will be restricted to the same type of products available to responsible private individuals of that same city or state.
Bravo, BCM. You and LaRue will be getting my business, exclusively, for the next few years.
Civilian arms ownership is about owning the same weaponry as government. If civilians can’t own these guns, I completely support disarming government agents so that civilians are better protected from government abuse.
A couple of things to consider regarding BCM, MagPul, et. al.; there are far more civilian sales than LEO sales. These companies see the writing on the wall, if nothing else if you factor out completely the civilian side (ie ban and confiscation), there isn’t much left of the AR market for many of these companies to survive on. The .mil purchases will go to Colt, FN, Knight’s etc., and when the market adjusts to no civilian purchases (hopefully never!), there won’t be many, if any, of these smaller players around for LEO to do business with. Yes, these companies are supporting 2A, but also protecting their customer base. We, and they are in the fight of our lives to protect our heritage, freedom and future.
BCM always continues to impress me. I spend a lot of money every year on their products and have never had an issue with any them. Absolute top quality. Even if they made junk I would probably spend money with them because they know how to treat customers and people. If only more were like them. Well done Paul, and thanks for everything you do.
He just doesn’t get it and feels that somehow LE are special people who deserve more than the common citizenry. Its sad but I don’t bother even arguing with someone who feels they deserve special privileges.
LE are citizens just like we are and they deserve no special exemptions, especially when many are so vocal in support of these bans.
A citizen is a citizen, plain and simple, we are all equal under the law.
