So a few days ago Springfield armory released a video basically apologizing for their treachery. They claim it was the head of their legal team and has since been fired.
What does /k/ think? Is it sincere?
https://youtu.be/0ZZGFdcx3E0

No word from Rock Island yet.

old news.also is rock river arms, rock island is the armscor brand
>>
>>34034508
Was their legal team doing things independent of Springfield interests or were they doing exactly as they were told?
>>
>>34034508
It's Rock River Arms not Rock Island Armory.

Rock River Arms is in Illinois.

Rock Island Armory, an Armscor brand, is based out of the Philippines with U.S. headquarters in Nevada.

holy shit I hate you people they apologized when they shouldnt have especially when the bill was meant to cut down crime

Okay SA inc. the evidence is all there, unless you want to continue discrediting TTAG when they found crystal clear evidence of IFMA funneling money into dirty dem pockets. Because you know the information is after all provided directly by the IL. gov considering the information must be disclosed as public record.

It a bill passed in Illinois that imposes some restrictions on firearm dealers.
SA and RRA supported this so most people saw this as a grave betrayal 2A rights

>>
>>34034508
If they successfully kill the bill then fine, I will accept the apology.

If it happens to go though I won't support Springfield till they either move or pass a bill nullifieing the bill in progress.

People should be allowed to make mistakes and make efforts to fix it.
>>
>>34035092
No one is going to rush out to dump guns that they like unless they are ultra-/pol/ cunts who can no longer enjoy something they once loved because people within the company made some poor decisions that affected the people who produced the firearm for them.

Sure, go ahead and dump your guns. Your not making a statement. Springfield already got your money, and now someone else is going to enjoy them. You sure showed them.

>>34034978
Are you fucking retarded? Springfield was a government run Armory. The government defuncted it around the time of the M16's adoption and this CEO pricks family bought the name 10 years later when the .gov was having a fire sale. That's literally it, the M14 tooling went to Taiwan and the Garand tooling went to Italy and several other countries. They bought a name and a logo have been a firearms importer ever since.
Now you are informed and can make a sound consumer decision.

oh, you're not confused. You're just a shill that supports gun control, and excessive limitations on manufacturers.

RRA's money went to lobbyists that are directly responsible for this. So either they're an incompetent company who doesn't pay attention to what they funding is doing (less likely) OR they supported the steady increase of gun control to line their pockets.

Either way, I'm never giving them my money. Fuck Rock River Arms, and Fuck Springfield. Their guns suck anyways.

TTAG gives links to lobbying reports and provides images from them confirming not only their withdrawal on opposition but lobby moneys from IFMA going to several anti gun dems. All of this shit has to be reported, it's all public domain. Everything linked from TTAG is directly reported from the state government of IL.
I don't know how clearer it can fucking get and I'm not going to link the TTAG article when it's literally piss easy to find and is their most viewed article, ever.

Of the 15 gun stores in my city and the surrounding area (not including Academy, Gander, Cabelas, Bass Pro), 7 have confirmed dropped RRA and SA, and are selling their remaining stock of SA/RRA guns and gear at cost. Big box stores aren't dropping because Big Box stores don't give a fuck anyway.

>>
The 80's and 90's were full of manufacturers colliding with dem gun banners. That period was our weakest. Ruger, S&W, Colt, all pulled shit like this and they all faced the wrath of the gun community. The community is stronger now but we can never forget those dark days comrades.
SA and RRA fucked up big time, and unlike those above mentioned corporations they are privately held companies that will never feel the pain until they are forced to close their doors and sell their company for pennies on the dollar.

Always kill a traitor before an enemy.
They cannot worm their way out of this. 90's era collusion belongs in the fucking past.

Anything done to prohibit free trade of firearms and manufacture is infringement on the rights of the citizenry to be armed.

If you are privately selling a firearm, are you engaging in a business transaction or a private transaction?

It makes absolutely zero difference to the average person. All it does is allow them to tack on an extra charge against whatever gang banger is caught dealing firearms and making it a business enterprise of doing so.

A given, tried saying he couldn't release them because they were under audit which is blatantly fucking wrong. Granted somebody leaked his old tax returns which came up with nothing, but that alone causes trust issues.

Going after Assad for a supposed gas attack and caving to the likes of McCain as I said before. While it's early on in his presidency he seems to be maintaining the whole idea of a world police, a reason I voted for him in the first fucking place.

>Distancing himself from his business
In fact he's utilized his business more than anything, he spends a fuckload of time at Mar a Lago which wouldn't bother me if he weren't actively taking taxpayer money from it.

>Healthcare reform
This is more of being bogged down by the NeoCons and the likes of the "Freedom Caucus" than anything.

Things I heavily disagree with is how he finalized the arms deal with the Saudis, is extremely close to Israel, wouldn't even mention Islamic extremism in his speech the other day, etc.

He was never going to disband nato

He was never going to stop supporting Saudis and the Israelis.

He was never going to stop being world police.

I told fucks like you this from day one.

Cucking ourselves and our allies (as unsavory as they might be), to Russian and Chinese interests is not MAGA.

Furthermore, because your brainlet can't comprehend the HUGE strategic positives to being the world police does not mean it does not exist.

We didn't support these people because of some grand master evil plan, we did it because it was the right fucking choice. Allowing Russian interests to control Middle East oil is the wrong fucking choice. Allowing Europe to fragment itself to the highest bidder/biggest dick is the wrong fucking choice. Allowing any tinpot fuckboi to shit down international shipping is the wrong fucking choice.

Trump was there to stop Hillary and appoint conservative judges to the Supreme courts. That's it.

The gun community is used to gun scares. Gun ban scares cause average no guns to go sperg out and get a second mortgage to buy things that will potentially be banned arbitrarily. Literally the majority of gun sales during scares is to noobs and noguns who panic buy. Even if you were a dem you would see that causing a scare is stupid because it causes 4 times the guns to proliferate into public hands than normally.
~45% of the population owned guns around the time of the AWB sunset. Since then, with all the scares it's over 60% of the population, and the number of multiple gun households has increased tenfold

>Was their legal team doing things independent of Springfield interests or were they doing exactly as they were told?
Probably acting independently, actually. Legal departments often do that; they are given a mandate to protect company interests, and they do it.

Every time you see a copy right notification, it is the legal department acting unilaterally. Every time you see someone getting a cease and desist letter for something, legal department on its own. It would not be surprising in the least that a legal department would be swinging deals and lobbying in regards to laws being put up in a legislature, as everyone else in the company has other stuff they need to be doing.

It's like some of you people cannot even fathom how large companies and corporations actually work.

Whatever, it still offers a good opportunity to put SA's feet to the fire and maybe get them to jump on board some pro-2A things, and maybe give some good deals on their products.

>come on guys our legal team was just acting without orders for years donating to anti gun lobbyist
do they really expect anyone to believe this? If there was any accountability the CEO would take responsibility and step down. The only way Springfield armory is going to make sales going forward is through ignorance so feel free to educate your friends on why to never buy from these pieces of shit.

The bill that was passed won't change gun violence. It will put smaller gunshops and independent traders out of business. Normal people can only make 9 firearm transactions a year. Springfield is of course exempt from the new law. How exactly does putting their competition out of business decrease gun violence when most guns used in shootings are not purchased legally in the first place?
>>
>>34036139
In what way does it put their competition out of business? By making them obtain a license to manufacture?

It will put the people who make their living selling guns to criminals out of business.

"ATF officials say that only about 8% of the nation's 124,000 retail gun dealers sell the majority of handguns that are used in crimes. They conclude that these licensed retailers are part of a block of rogue entrepreneurs tempted by the big profits of gun trafficking. Cracking down on these dealers continues to be a priority for the ATF. What's needed, according to Wachtel, is better monitoring of the activities of legally licensed gun dealers. This means examining FFL paperwork to see where their guns are coming from, and making sure that those guns are being sold legally. But he says, "Let's be honest. If someone wants a gun, it's obvious the person will not have difficulty buying a gun, either legally or through the extensive United States black market."
>>
>>34036154
Depends on the requirements they set. Going by other commie states they will pit the bar so high with so much paperwork that only huge corparations can afford it putting smaller shops out of business. It does this put doesn't actually save any lifes. It is purely about industry control

Explain chainsaws then. No age limits on purchase, no licensing required, no regulatory oversight at all. Yet chainsaws are responsible for over 36K injuries annually.

Oh jeeze, and what about lawnmowers? Over 20K injuries, and 75 deaths annually. Over 600 children are run over each year by riding mowers. THINK OF THE CHILDREN, YOU INSENSITIVE TWAT! Yet any toddler can go into a hardware store and buy a mower, no questions asked.

Your "licencing and regulating tools" argument sort of falls apart when you expose it to reality.

Why aren't you getting all shrill about alcohol or tobacco? Alcohol kills more people in a month than guns do all year. Tobacco does it in a week. If you were really concerned about saving lives, you would be pissing and moaning about those 2 killers.

But it's not about saving lives, is it?

So what you're saying is, you need a licence to operate a gun in a public place (eg. CCW or hunting), or during the course of your employment with someone (eg. police)?

Oh wait, seems that's already the case.

As a native of Oklahoma, a gun owner, and who lost people in the OKC bombing.

Comparing me to that fuckhead McVeigh?

FUCK YOU!

However, I do understand his motives.

Like government thugs murdering a kid out with his dog in serving a bench warrant before shooting a woman holding her child and then mocking their loved ones for 11 days is a pretty good reason to be mad at your government.

Then mayhaps an orchestrated sideshow where you literally had men hang off a helicopter and shoot an innocent man before goose stepping up to unload into a "compound" knowing there were children inside before the fucking finale of burning everyone to death is also a good reason to be mad at your government.

What tools did those you classify as be solely qualified use? guns, bitch. They intentionally used tools hurt the citizens they swore to protect, and you advocate that they are the only ones qualified? fuck you.

>Tell me, what task do your 3 assault rifles and 6 handguns help you accomplish?

Living lawfully and securely the way I want, and don't forget according to my government a shoelace is a machine gun so I have three pairs of tennis shoes and two pairs of boots so that means I own like 10 unregistered machine guns.

The solution to this problem is simple. Regardless of whether SA & RRA did this purposely or out of ignorance, should this legislation pass they need to spend every, single dime of profit getting the law repealed.

If they don't do this, they're not for real and deserve all the heat that their former customers bring their way.
