Olympic Arms was recently asked to advertise
in the FOP Journal; the official magazine of the Fraternal Order of
Police. It is well known that the FOP is a staunch supporter of Gun
Control, had backed the AWB under Bill Clinton, and supports
the current AWB under consideration that was introduced by Diane
Feinstein. The FOP was actually accredited as being one of the sources
that helped prepare the language of Gun Control suggestions that were
forwarded by Vice President Biden. Below is a copy of our response to
the FOP Journal:


Please forward this email to every major principal in your organization.

AS:

1.    The Fraternal Order of Police is on Congressional Record as having been a major supporter of the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban.
a.    http://books.google.com/books?id=ZGb80RBLHxcC&pg=PA18184&lpg=PA18184&dq=FOP+Supports+Assault+WEapons+Ban&source=bl&ots=Yiafz1Lbgv&sig=_9DLM1ZuC79jKiqf2vWMtnhf1d4&hl=en&sa=X&ei=zBEVUer_L-jriwL3oYGACQ&ved=0CFYQ6AEwBQ#v=onepage&q=FOP%20Supports%20Assault%20WEapons%20Ban&f=false

2.    As a matter of fact and record, the FOP is accredited with assisting
VP Biden in formulating the language of the newly proposed ban:
a.    http://www.politico.com/politico44/2012/12/biden-no-reason-assault-weapons-ban-shouldnt-clear-152546.html

3.    Additionally, as a matter of fact and public record, the FOP is in
support of the newly recommended Assault Weapons Ban introduced by
Senator Feinstein.
a.    FOP representatives were actually standing on the Stage during the presentation as a sign of "support".

THEREFORE:

Olympic Arms, Inc, manufacturers of AR15 type firearms, firearms that
these legislators would call "Assault Weapons", will not be supporting
in any way, shape, form or fashion, The Fraternal Order of Police, any
organization that represents, supports, takes advertising dollars from,
spends advertising dollars with, is in anyway related to, any individual
who is a card carrying member of, or any person or entity in any way
associated with the Fraternal Order of Police. Period.

Henceforth;

•    Be assured that Olympic Arms will not rest in its efforts to educate
our customers, fans and followers the extent of the hypocrisy committed
by the FOP and FOP Journal (fighting to outlaw the firearms produced by
the very companies they now solicit for advertising dollars…). You can
also be certain that we continue to make every effort to properly
educate the firearms consumer in general, of the same.
•    
Additionally, we will make continued efforts at assure that ALL firearms
manufacturers are aware of the FOP's support to strip Constitutional
Rights from Americans, and their support of further unconstitutional gun
control legislation.
•    We pledge to inform all of our customers
the lengths that the FOP and associated FOP affiliates by proxy (which
includes all your advertisers)are willing to go to in order to strip the
American Citizen of their Constitutional Rights, while at the same time
writing in exemptions to the same legislation to ensure that their
members maintain those same rights they would have stripped from others.

•    Your actions are the actions of a rogue organization supporting
tyranny, not an organization sworn to uphold the laws of the land, to
protect, serve and defend their constituencies.

Let it be know, that your actions are reprehensible and shameful.

[Major Kong]

Another reason I'm happy to say no when they call begging for dollars.

[Moped]

I think the next time I recieve a telephone call from them, I will tell them this is the reason they will get none of my money!!!

[Randall53]

I applaud them.

[VERO1]

Olympic Arms is stepping up for us.  I'll try to support them wherever possible.

[Oh Shoot]

Good stuff.

 

Pert sure if my name were Spithaler, I'd change it, though.

That's how to write a clear, decisive and unequivical statement. Whoever wrote that is the antithesis of a polititian. Well said.

[Guest 6.8 AR]

I thought so, too. Now if more get in on protecting the business of freedom like that. Attitudes would change for the better

in our country. That letter had a nice stroke of patriotism in it.

Never really cared for Olympic Arms guns but will definitely take a second look at them now!

According to something I read on another forum (including a posting of another letter from them), Olympic Arms is also refusing to do business with the government of the State of New York as well as any police departments or other law enforcement agencies within the state because of the recently passed anti-gun laws in New York.  In the letter, they make the statement that the police shouldn't have access to any weapon that is illegal for any other law abiding citizen to own.

 

I don't own an AR nor do I really want one but if I change my mind I'd have to take a serious look at Olympic's products.
