We can ask American companies to stop selling in California, but then you will have foreign companies step in and reap the benefits.

Also, its not the law enforcement folks who want the guns. Its the lawmakers. The law enforcement guys having the best equipment can reduce crime, which pokes many holes in gun control arguments.

Why do you think Texas has loose gun laws, because there is less crime than D.C., Philly, Chicago, Detroit, or LA. The less crime, the tougher it is for politicians to take guns.

This author is pretty far off base. We have a bunch of people risking their lives fighting street gangs and drug dealers, we should wish the best equipment on them that can be found.
I agree, if we are going to boycott someone we should boycott those closer to home who have had direct impact on our rights and not give business to those who have worked actively to prevent CHLers from the right to bare their arms. The San Antonio Chamber of Commerce comes to mind. They have done more to hurt our cause than Kimber has or even Los Angeles. I used to spend 3 or 4 weekends a year their. Now I will risk running out of gas before I help line those jerks pockets

I don't believe this technique works.
If it were so when the price of gas shot up the Californians should be screaming to drill, and build refineries. Instead they blame the oil companies and are screaming to tax the profits (which are saupposed to pay for drilling and building) into oblivion.

If the gun American Gun makers were to boycott the Californians. The foreign gun makers would be pleased to take up the slack, and the Californians might just blame the NRA and the American gun makers. When we speak of Californian politics Intelligence isn't part of the equation. They don't think like real people over there.
