Dear concerned gun owner,

 

 

First of all I would like to say thank you for filling my email with all this spam email.

 

Second, I am not sure where you got this blanket email from to send out as spam, but please stop it.

 

Third, The manufacture is not the one you need to convince.

 

You need to convince the law enforcement agencies and the common people about their mistake in electing these officials and have them removed. Again NOT the manufacture.

 

 

AR Stands for ArmaLite…

What a stand up company..

I still want an armalite since it was the first Ar I ever handled when I was just a little snot nose kid.

 

 

How legit is this story?

BS ALERT! Worst spelling EVAR, 10000% BOGUS LUDES, DUDE!

Looks like the president issued an appology for the employee that made the statement but they will still continue to sell to LE!

 

 

 

Thanks for posting this email. I just received a concerned telephone call about it, an email from the staffer who stimulated the mail.

 

I think a bit of clarification is in order.

 

The root of the matter is a HUGE series of inquiries by both email and telephone asking ArmaLite to cut off sales to New York and other states which deny its citizens the right to own our rifles, as several other firms have done. Some of the contacts have been duplicates of others and some were so redundant that they appeared to be spam. Many of them have been rude and I'm afraid one of my staffers thought that he was responding to a spammer and was more terse than he should have been. Once he realized what happened he came to me and apologized.

 

My purpose here is to pass on his apology from the corporate level and to answer the initial question: What is ArmaLite going to do?

 

ArmaLite is continuing a policy put into place when California first banned our rifles. That policy remains:

 

1. We will not sell to those states which deny it's honorable citizens the right to own ArmaLite's.

 

2. We do not halt sales to individual officers even in problematic states. I am a former Police Officer myself, and the staffer who stimulated the recent anger is a currently serving one. We are well familiar with the fact that most rifles serving Police Officers are purchased by the officers themselves, and that they shouldn't be punished for the actions of their political elite.

 

We consider sales to those sate subdivisions which are not engaged or potentially engaged with disarming its citizens. DNR and Forestry Departments, for instance, sometimes serve in remote areas that conceal drug farms and their officers deserve good hardware.

 

3. We will not sell to those lower political subdivisions that deny their honorable citizens the right to own ArmaLite's. Chicago, for instance, prohibits its citizens from owning ArmaLite's within the city limits so we make no effort to sell into that city. We have many friends on the Chicago Police Department and have continued to sell to them individually.

 

Our observation is that most County Sheriffs disagree with banning sales of our rifles and many publicly refuse to enforce such laws. We sell to those departments and to their Deputies, but will not sell to those County departments headed by Sheriffs who would deny their citizens the same rights.

 

In short, Americans need not worry that ArmaLite is selling to those who betray them.

 

As you can see by reading posts on the topic, some readers have been harsh with their criticism of ArmaLite. It was in response to this atmosphere that my staffer reacted harshly. He's come to me and apologized and I personally am passing my own apology along with his.

 

But don't be mistaken, ArmaLite is strongly involved with both personal, corporate, and political efforts at the State, National, and International level to protect our civil rights. And we'll continue to support your shooting needs as the situation moves forward.

 

Respectfully,

 

Mark Westrom

President,

ArmaLite Inc.

Sorry, if this guy is a 'master armorer' or sales rep or whatever, and misspells manufacturer twice, he is either the worst rep or a troll. If it comes from teh interwebz, especially some forum frequented by mall ninjas and anti trolls, fuhgeddaboudit. I am off to buy Armalite stock--

My Armalight was the 1st upper I bought, it kicks ass.

Business is business and they are not willing to take a hit I guess, they do have something right

"We the people" are the ones that voted these D-bags into power it's up to the "People" to vote them out.

So they aren't selling to the departments, but they ARE selling to individual officers because they shouldn't be punished like ordinary citizens are... got it.

 

Come on, Armalite...

I sincerely have no idea what your talking about... Pat wrote that response, which is a general response he has been sending out to people inquiring. Many people got this response from him. He also runs the AR forum on AR15.com, and deleted a thread when asked if he did in fact write this... He then went on to apologize for the response, which was just as piss poor as the first. THEN AR came out and specifically apologized for an e-mail one of there employees was sending out. To even suggest this is fake, at this point, is just absurd. I'm gonna go with worst rep ever... guy should stay behind his work bench and keep clear of computers.

That's the way I read it, too.
