The Question to Geissele was Simple
BY Herschel Smith
2 weeks, 4 days ago
Here I posed a question for Geissele Automatics: Will you do business with law enforcement in California now that they have passed a law that forbids the ownership of the subject weapons by all other citizens?
The comments are so laborious that I almost couldn’t make my way through them. I didn’t ask how best to deal with the new law, whether to rely on FFLs or try to navigate these waters alone? Or whether to stop supporting existing gun owners with parts? Or anything else of the sort. I asked a simple, easy to understand and easy to answer question.
The answer I got from Geissele answered every but the one I asked. They can continue to sell to law enforcement, or they can take Ronnie Barrett’s position. The choice seems simple enough to me.
Thank you for your reply. Of course, that’s one way to handle the issue. The other way is to follow in the footsteps of Ronnie Barrett.

Herschel, even though we follow each other on twatter, I never saw your post. I don’t see a lot of posts I should. Twatter still is shadowbanning. I am with you completely, so Gisselle will not be getting any love, at all, from me.
Happy New Year brother!

Big H Sir! Well stated by you AND Mr. Barrett.
The only way to deal w/this is to smack them hard and hope they learn something.
Damned shame as RUMINT is they were possibly looking at making NEW Lee Enfield Barrels as Mr. Geissele is apparently a HUGE collector and fan… It makes it hard to say “NEVER” but articles like this def push the needle towards “No F’n Way”

This is where you see moral ambiguity in the Second Amendment space.
They talk the talk, but when the rubber meets the road, money talks louder
Never dealt with them and now definitely will not.
Have a Good Day

I think what most will end up doing or having to do is sell though local vendors/distributors.
So as dumb as that law is at least it might help prop up to local stores.
