Olympic Arms Posts Inaccurate Information About the National FOP on Its Facebook Page 02/16/2013
The assertions recently made by Olympic Arms about FOP positions and actions on various pending firearms issues are misleading, inaccurate, and, in some cases, just plain false. In August 1993, the delegates assembled at the 51st National Biennial Conference in Louisville, KY adopted Resolution No. 6 on a 1,516 to 1,073 vote.
The Resolution called for the Grand Lodge to support H.R. 1472/S. 639, the "Anti-drug Assault Weapons Limitation Act of 1993," which would prohibit the importation and manufacture of certain military assault weapons.
This Resolution is still binding on the Grand Lodge and the National Legislative Program. However, current pending assault weapons proposals, including the one offered by Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), go well beyond the scope of the 1994 statute, and, as National President Chuck Canterbury stated in the most recent issue of the FOP Journal, it is not a goal of the FOP to support an expansion of the original 1994 statute (which expired in 2004).
It is true that the FOP has met with Vice President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. as well as with a Congressional working group chaired by Representative Michael Thompson (D-CA). The FOP, along with numerous other groups and organizations representing law enforcement, firearms manufacturers, gun rights organizations, and others provided feedback on the issues of gun violence and school safety. In none of those meetings did the National offer, support, or approve any legislative language, nor was any offered.
It is completely false that the FOP has endorsed any Federal legislation currently pending that would institute a ban on any particular type or style of firearm or accessory. We do not know who any of the rank and file police officers who appeared with Senator Feinstein at her press conference are, and the National FOP had nothing to do with their attendance. I hope this information helps.
Remember — we live in a time when just about anybody can say just about anything he or she wants on the Internet — true or not. We thank all of the members of the FOP who have come to us and asked for the truth, rather than jumping to conclusions on the basis of false and misleading statements by outsiders.
Pulled from the FOP site. I am an FOP member and will be in dc next week speaking with Texas senators and I can assue you I know of no ranking members that support this.

Updated Policy for State and Local Law Enforcement Agency Sales:
In light of the recent and numerous anti-gun and anti-2nd Amendment laws pending across the Nation, Spike’s Tactical will be joining other manufacturers and distributors and limiting the business we do in states that have limited the right to keep and bear arms for their citizens.
As of today, it will be our policy not to sell prohibited items to law enforcement agencies, government agencies and agents in states, counties, cities and municipalities that have enacted restrictive gun control laws against their citizens. We urge other companies to join in support.
Thanks,
Angela

J&G Sales is a family owned guns and ammo business since 1946. We always strive to provide our customers with high quality product at low prices.
ANNOUNCING A NEW J&G POLICY ON SHIPPING RESTRICTED ITEMS
For immediate release:
As state and local jurisdictions are increasingly passing laws which infringe upon the Second Amendment of the US Constitution, J&G Sales is implementing a new policy on shipping restricted items to these states and localities.
Effective immediately, laws that restrict firearms, ammunition, or magazine possession by law abiding citizens will also be applied to state and local law enforcement and government agencies in that jurisdiction. All residents will be treated equally. Honorable citizens, law enforcement personnel, and government agents, should all be allowed to utilize the most effective defensive equipment available.
J&G believes that there should not be a difference between the rights of citizens and those of government employees. This new policy will also help us to be sure we avoid the consequences of not conforming with the anti-firearm regulations in these various jurisdictions.
We expect to lose some revenue from government purchases, however we feel it is essential to defend the US Constitution by making a statement about the importance of the Second Amendment in maintaining our freedoms.
We await the day when all law abiding citizens will be able to possess the most effective means and tools available for self-defense regardless of where they live or for whom they work.
Thank you
