These companies listed are only refusing to sell to the state and local municipalities. They need to go the next mile-the federalis.
QUOTE I've seen the list and it grows more impressive everyday but we need some of the big boys to play this game too. Glock, Sig, S&W etc would get some attention quick.
Send them a petition letter:
QUOTE To:
Glock, Inc.
SIG SAUER, Inc.
Smith & Wesson
Springfield Armory
We are in the midst of an increasing number of negative impacts on our 2nd Amendment Rights.
As you are aware, the political landscape dealing with gun control has caused outrage across the nation. States such as NY have already passed very restrictive legislation that takes many rights away from law abiding citizens such as myself.
In the recent weeks, many firearms and ammunition manufacturers have come forward and made public statements that they will no longer be selling or shipping their firearms and accessories to any Goverment, Law Enforcement or First Responders that are located in the states that have passed these new, very restrictive gun laws. Their stance on these laws is simple; if the citizens of that state or area cannot legally own certain firearms and accessories, then the Government, Law Enforcement and First Responders should not have access to them either, under the new legislation. These companies include: Olympic Arms, Inc., York Arms, Cheaper Than Dirt, Templar Custom, LaRue Tactical, MidwayUSA, as well as many others.
This list is sure to grow over the coming weeks, and I encourage you to follow their lead and take a stand with us to fight for the rights of every single law-abiding citizen of the United States of America.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I hope that you will join our fight and stand beside us.
Sincerely,
(your name)

QUOTE The other issue is, why are ammo companies fulfilling orders to the govt when they can make way more money selling to the people, then what ever is left over the govt can buy. How can ammo companies make more money selling to the public instead of the government. Have you seen what the feds are willing to pay for a toilet seat?
That is toilet seats. 
People use ammo more than the average moron govt agency.
I guess the only entity that uses the most would be the military.
I have been trying to find a chart I had seen years ago that showed ammo bought and used by groups, it showed the average joe, the military, FBI, etc. the only draw back of the chart was that it included all calibers and was not broken down, I just remember seeing the average citizen wasn't too far behind the military in ammo usage and the fed gov was way down on the list.

Botto:

No reason to call anyone names for questioning this. It's when the chalk board comes out and the question turns into an assertion about birth certificates and FEMA camps that the kookery takes shape.
There was a South Park episode that covered this kind of thing pretty good. The Cartman character turns the school announcements into a Glenn Beck type show. He makes all kind of nutty assertions, and then defends himself saying he's only asking questions. "Is Wendy a whore, I don't know, I'm just asking questions. She killed all the Smurfs, or didn't she? I'm asking questions!!"

A toilet seat and a hammer don't cost that much, but when the media or pundits are done showing a snippet of accounting including spare parts, logistics, engineering guys, contractors, stuff they don't put on the books that gets added to everything else, you can watch it balloon. CNET Snopes: $200 Hammer Straight Dope Wiki: Project on Government Oversight
^We could make cuts in all those things that add up to those costs, but than those same pundits would claim the libs "gutted the military" and aren't supporting the troops.
QUOTE Maybe they realize they were duped after voting for Obummer for a second term just like they were duped about Obamacare.
Nope, we just didn't want to have Gordon Gekko running the country and his sidekick ending Medicare. I mean, do you trust a guy that thinks Wall Street tycoons and corporations should pay less taxes than factory workers and teachers? I don't.
As for Obamacare, there's been a mandate in elections and polls asking for reform for decades. Conservatives decided they didn't care, the status quo was better for them. Although what would be best for some is the status quo with more limitations on lawsuits.
Can't be suing the rich for silly things like sponges left by surgeons and such! Damn victims always seeking indemnity.

Thomas Drake speaking about the terrifying direction the government has been heading:

Maybe someone can post the video when it comes on youtube.

I challenge anyone here to show how any of this moves us closer to living better. I always assumed that we, as a nation, would move towards policy and governance that took us further away from the horrors of what we did in the past, like condoning slavery, or forced relocation and mistreatment of native Americans, or even the interment of Japanese Americans in the Second World War.
Given our current course, I can only imagine a dystopian future. If freedom is to ultimately prevail, we have to do a lot more than we're doing now.

Botto, I'd have to say we are in a lot of trouble if people don't start paying attention to what has been happening, and don't start realizing the implications. Things are not going to magically get better. I can't imagine what things will be like for our children and grandchildren.
That Thomas Drake speech was short but very clear on how drastically things have changed in just the last ten years.
People need to start thinking.
