AR15.com newslettter - moving to Texas

[mitchntx]

I recieved this AR15.com NL today. As I was skimming, this section caught my eye.

Secondly, we spent a good part of this month exploring the options for re-locating ARFCOM. We've spent two years and an immeasurable amount of blood sweat and tears working on a retail location that at this point will never open thanks to NY politics.
For those of you following the case, the suit against New York State has been filed, and AR15.com has been dropped as a plaintiff. Since our goal is to do what's best for the case, we will do whatever the legal team thinks is best and we will continue to support the case in any way possible.

While we will continue to do all we can to attempt to "fix" NY, we will do so from outside of the state where most of us have spent the last 35+ years. We have decided to pack everything and everyone up, hitch the wagons, and head to the Lone Star State; the Dallas, TX area will be our new home in the near future.

While this will not be a simple move, nor is it going to be without it's challenges, we feel that it is a necessary move. We cannot morally continue to support a state that has such disregard for the basic principles this country was founded on, nor do we want to live in an environment where you're constantly fighting the very government that is supposed to be representing you.

Lastly, we've been debating what to do with the shop opening, or what is now more-likely a going away party. All of the ARFCOM HQ properties are going on the market, and we will continue to do business out of the facility until the actual move. We've had regular traffic coming in and purchasing parts and accessories, and we'll continue to do all we can for our fellow New Yorkers.

In the next few days a number of our private firearms will be going up for sale as part of a combination moving-fundraiser / less-to-carry event. While many of these guns will be for sale on the EE (as not legal for sale in NY), other items like ammunition and excess inventory may be sold as part of an in-store sale to be announced later.

So it begins? an actual move or sabre rattling?

Awesome news. Hopefully its a sign of things to come and we can get some of the arms manufacturers up there to come too.

Happy they decided to move here, but hope they leave their "attitude" in New York.

I don't go to ARFCOM very often, but I can't recall ever seeing any of the actual administrators being douchebags (maybe I'm wrong). It's usually coming from the operators, gear-queers, and gun snobs that infest the board.

Them being in new york explains a lot about that website. I agree if they are coming to Texas they need to leave the attitude in new york.

No matter what one might bring to the table, they're no different than any other website...ban people just because you can find a reason to.


Otherwise, fine as long as they leave GD in NY.

Got to say, if I'm looking for a reason to ban someone, it's because they gave me a reason to ban them.

Are you an ARFcom mod?

 

[macshooter]

I really hope we get a whole bunch of firearms and ammo mfg's (and everything else firearms related) moving here. We'll need it if ever comes time to tell the fed to **** off. Texas should become the firearms center of the universe. Enough big-time firearms industry here would also help keep the politics in line (read campaign money).

Yup, my experience at ARFCOM exactly. I'm still a member there but very rarely visit because of all of the little man syndrome having keyboard commandos there.

Makes it impossible to carry on a sensible and educational discussion with all of the faggotry and 'look a me' posts.
