Aim Surplus suspend's all AR Lower shipments to NJ

[remixer 1,645]

Until further notice Aim Surplus is suspending all shipments of AR lowers pending the go ahead from the NJ state police or the AG's office.

 

This is due to the changes in the laws of some ban states.  They have requested more info from NJSP that no laws were changed and that AR lowers are still legal in NJ

That's certainly their choice, but I'd be concerned with losing permanent business. If it were me, I'd have made sure of the laws "before" the New Year begins, rather than shutting down opportunities to make money!

Like the NJSP or the AG's office will give them a timely and correct answer. Another bites the dust. 

[remixer 1,645]

I spoke with them and they will accept a phone (go ahead) form the NJSP. i gave them the phone number and person to talk to. Well see what happens

[MidwestPX 172]

Listen to, Damjan, he's right!

NJSP returned my call and said they will answer Aim's questions. SO hopefully this will be resolved soon.

 

since were plugging shamelessly (TY) LOL I also have lowers

Exactly. But seriously though it really does make you think twice about doing business with them. On second thought look who they are dealing with.

[raz-0 1,260]

This isn't the first time they have acted like this. They also made a rule about ammo only shipping to ffls in nj at some point too. They might have rescinded it, I'm too busy shopping elsewhere.

[intercooler 41]

I would think ammo is also restricted now

[remixer 1,645]

If you really think about it.. I understand why they do what they do.... Its states like NY that have caused this....

 

Example. A distributor i deal with will not sell any Non compliant firearms to NJ dealers. They were sued by NYS and they won but it cost then 400k in legal bills.. I guess if you are a company thats worried about a state suing you it might make you think twice or just take extra care with dealing with people in that state.

I'm not holding this against Aim. I just find the whole thing silly.

And it must have cost NYS residents a similar amount, so who is accountable for that waste of taxpayer dollars?  Unfortunately nobody!

[njJoniGuy 2,133]

I unsubbed my email addy from AIM and told them why.

My money, my choice.

[RUTGERS95 890]

I think there is more to it.  I was going back and forth with them on ar15.com and they locked the thread when I asked who the vendors were that settled with San Fran for selling legal hardware.  I think I am done with them as well....shame, good stuff at good prices

Im sure it cost NY 10 times more.... This is what happens when the government overreaches. FFL are federal why NYS thought they could sue a distributor for following federal laws boggles me

No doubt you have that right.....

Ahh can you ssend me a link to that?

Here's the link to the thread Rutger's mentioned

The magazine repair kit lawsuit argument is BS in my opinion, companies that sold them knew they were circumventing the ban on standard cap mags, play with fire and you're likely to get burned

 

If anyone really wants one of those silly Hellbreaker lowers, there was one at Shore Shot for the same price as AIM

I agree but aren't we doing the same thing with ARs in this state as we circumvented via the 'name only' suit by Nappen?  What those vendors did was legal, LEGAL so it should not have been an issue

[Contrvlr 17]

I don't think it's the same
It wasn't just the "name only" suit that saved us, it was the neutering of the rifle via the evil features list, an XM15 with a lug and fh is just as illegal as the banned by name AR15 , Verniero stated as much when he wrote the " substantially identical " guidelines

I understand what they did was legal , but I also see that it was a slick way of trying to say FU to the man
 
Can't wait to get the hell out of here

44mag, Copes, and exilemachine were sued by SF for selling rebuild kits.  Which were obviously legal since the state had to pass AB48 to make them illegal during the last legislative session.

No.  Rebuild kits had/have multiple legitimate uses such as building limited cap mags, repairing legally owned pre-ban mags, and for use when out of state.  The CA AG even put it in writing that they were legal because of those uses.
