AR15.com Moving to Texas

Post by Skiprr »

From their belated March newsletter:
...We spent a good part of this month exploring the options for re-locating ARFCOM. We've spent two years and an immeasurable amount of blood sweat and tears working on a retail location that at this point will never open thanks to NY politics.

For those of you following the case, the suit against New York State has been filed, and AR15.com has been dropped as a plaintiff. Since our goal is to do what's best for the case, we will do whatever the legal team thinks is best and we will continue to support the case in any way possible.

While we will continue to do all we can to attempt to "fix" NY, we will do so from outside of the state where most of us have spent the last 35+ years. We have decided to pack everything and everyone up, hitch the wagons, and head to the Lone Star State; the Dallas, TX area will be our new home in the near future.

While this will not be a simple move, nor is it going to be without it's challenges, we feel that it is a necessary move. We cannot morally continue to support a state that has such disregard for the basic principles this country was founded on, nor do we want to live in an environment where you're constantly fighting the very government that is supposed to be representing you.
Good move. And I'm sure our North Texas members will greet them with open arms.

It's great they're coming to Texas, a shame that they are losing the facility they've worked so hard on.

I wonder if they're bringing all the 35 year old mall ninjas that live in their mother's basements.

Nah, they can't afford to pay rent to actually live by themselves.
