ArmaLite caused a bit of a stir the other day when one of their employees responded to an email from one of many concerned gun owners who wrote the gun company asking them to completely stop sales to states who deny their citizens the right to own their rifles. This mainly applies to law enforcement. For instance both LaRue Tactical and Olympic Arms have said they will no longer sell their rifles to law enforcement in the states where private citizens cannot own them.
The email from ArmaLite to the concerned gun owner is as follows (from AR15.com):
Dear concerned gun owner,
First of all I would like to say thank you for filling my email with all this spam email.
Second, I am not sure where you got this blanket email from to send out as spam, but please stop it.
Third, The manufacture is not the one you need to convince.
You need to convince the law enforcement agencies and the common people about their mistake in electing these officials and have them removed. Again NOT the manufacture.
AR Stands for ArmaLite…
Respectfully,
Pat Raley
Master Armorer / Sales Rep.
ArmaLite, Inc.
P.O. Box 299

As you can imagine, once this email got posts to the various gun forums, it caused quite the uproar.
Well, now ArmaLite has formally responded in a post from their account on AR15.com.
