In response to the passage of New York’s sweeping new gun law, a Washington state-based firearms manufacturer has decided to stop selling their products in the Empire State.
Olympic Arms, a manufacturer of semiautomatic rifles and AR-15-style firearms, announced Tuesday it will no longer be doing business in New York as a result of the state’s new ban on assault-style weapons, according to the Times Union.
New York Gov. Cuomo last month signed into law tough legislation aimed at strengthening state laws on assault weapons, gun-magazine capacity and reporting potential harmful behavior. Though the law allows law enforcement agencies to purchase assault-style weapons, Olympic says it will no longer serve the state’s first responders.
