they knew enough about the bill to make sure they were exempt from it. And people were *****ing about the bill for weeks n SA says they were ill informed/ didn't know about. Nobody writes a 50k check for something and doesn't have all the info.

Did you spend a lot of time in the corporate world? Serve on a BoD?

But you can still prove how "pure" you are whe it comes the 2A:

You can dump Smith & Wesson because they "sold us out" to Bill Clinton. You can get rid of all your Ruger arms because Bill Ruger "sold us out" by refusing to make 20 round magazines. Oh yes, and don't forget to cancel your NRA membership because they "sold us out" in 1934.

dont know about that because SA saying they didn't want any part of the bill to pass. RRA has been working on a new press release from the start of this mornings n seem to be shocked at the new story by TTAG.

Just wow. The Truth About Guns article just turned the lights on with a room full of cockroaches.

I don't really understand the business structures, but can the CEO's of SA and RRA be forced to step down?

You know, run them out of town!

[numpty]

So in light of that latest TTAG article, 2 of the 3 didn't know they were supporting anti-2A politicians?

[DevilDawgJJ]

So much for getting a Full Rail TRP.

Guess I'll finally save up for a Hobie PA 12

The Executive Director of the Illinois Firearm Manufacturers Association (IFMA) acted without our prior knowledge and against our principles and those of the industry as a whole with respect to the Gun Dealer Licensing Act. We no longer have confidence in IFMA and after speaking to other directors we have made the decision to sever all ties with the organization, effective immediately.

I take full responsibility for my failure of oversight in this case and deeply apologize to my employees, customers and industry partners for the distraction and divisiveness this situation has caused within our tight-knit community. Our industry has always stood strong and fought fiercely together in the past and I am personally committed to defeating this harmful legislation. To that end, I have pledged to the NRA that we will bring the full resources of my company to bear in this fight.

And it goes on from there...
