Hornady refuses to sell ammo to NY agencies after Cuomo gun initiative

Ammunition giant Hornady is cutting off government buyers in New York over an order by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to financial services companies regarding gun politics.

Steve Hornady, the company’s president of manufacturing, announced on social media on Friday that the ammo maker will halt sales of their products to Cuomo’s state government or agencies in the Empire State. The move comes after an order directed by Cuomo earlier last month that cautioned banks, insurance companies and lenders against involvement with the National Rifle Association and similar organizations. Slamming the Governor’s move as one of the most “despicable acts ever perpetrated by any state,” Hornady closed the doors to the state.

Love it. Can they survive the consequences of their convictions? Will NRA supporters reward them with sales to match lost revenue? Will other ammo manufacturers show similar intestinal fortitude?

That's good news. Hopefully the Ammo Mfg's and Gun Mfg's will refuse to do business with any of these Rogue states/cities that place the draconian rules. If they band together, they can put a lot of pressure on these places as their current guns begin to age, and their ammo begins to dwindle.

There are some that already do. It would be interesting if they all did such as Glock limiting LE to whatever state laws are in place for the citizenry.
