The actions Springfield Armory and RRA took are proof that the gun control menace is alive and well within the gun manufacturing industry. Buying a gun from these companies is the same as supporting a presidential ticket consisting of Hillary Clinton and Kim Jong Un.

One means you didn't get your gun, the other means you may never be able to buy one, you tell me what's worse.

Don't buy a Springfield or RRA from Dicks.

Just got this e-mail from Springfield Armory (didn't even know I was on their list) Too little too late is an understatement. Shithead scumbags.

Dear dkf,

The 2nd Amendment urgently needs your help in Illinois!

The Illinois House of Representatives may consider Senate Bill 1657, legislation that could put state gun dealers out of business, at any time!
It is imperative you share this with friends and family living in Illinois and strongly urge them to OPPOSE SB 1657!

SB 1657 would create onerous mandatory regulations, fees potentially in the thousands of dollars and excessive amounts of red tape that would almost assuredly force the closure of many firearm dealers, and prevent prospective owners from opening new ones. The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) already licenses and closely monitors all federally licensed firearm dealers (FFLs) and strictly enforces any violation of federal law.

SB 1657 goes far beyond federal law and is designed to shut down as many FFLs as possible.

Again, please click the “Take Action” button above to contact your state Representative and urge them to strongly oppose SB 1657! Stay tuned to www.nraila.org for further updates on this bill.

I might have misunderstood the IL situation. I just read the nra-ila statement. Want to see how it plays out.

Yankee Marshal said about himself just what I was thinking about him. He's an asshole.

I got the same one marked as spam and unsubscribed easy peasy

For those interested I am willing to dispose of your Springfield or RRA weapons for you free of charge. We can meet for a FTF and I'm willing to meet you anywhere in the state. You will be given a certificate(which you can share with family and friends) indicating that you have voluntarily given up your firearm in protest of this terrible act. PM me if you're interested.
