Take that, Bloomberg. Serbu Firearms Refuses to Sell .50 Cal Sniper Rifles to NYPD

Good on 'em.
Serbu Firearms, a manufacturer of bolt-action and semi-automatic .50 caliber sniper rifles, is refusing to sell their wares to the NYPD. Their reason, of course, is that owing to unfair gun laws, they will not support law enforcement in New York.
Serbu is one of almost 150 companies that has officially refused to sell to law enforcement in New York following the passage of the SAFE Act, the controversial gun control package that has been met with scorn by gun owners across the nation.
The company posted the NYPD’s inquiry as well as their refusal to their Facebook page, with names omitted. . .
What’s interesting about this is that while Serbu makes a fine firearm and impressive .50 BMG rifles, they’re not a first-tier company in the sniper rifle world and are perhaps best known for their compact Super-Shorty shotguns.
Two of the biggest names in sniper rifles, Barrett and ArmaLite, have already stated that they will not sell to the police departments of New York. If the NYPD is calling Serbu, we have to wonder how many other companies have told them to keep walking.

Not on subject but I am curious about ammo sales as of late.
Bulkammo has 45acp for $639 per thousand but 9mm priced at $820 per thousand both manufactured by Federal.
Now I realize that they raise prices for the same reason a dog licks himself...because he can but this gouging is beginning to border on criminal..
Just sayin'

I think all companies should stop selling firearms of any type to NY. With their history of cops firing dozens of rounds at everyone and everything besides the usually innocent target, it would be a public service to disarm them completely. Especially don't sell to Bloomberg's security detail.

Most pistols used by police in NY are now holding illegal magazines anyway.

Here's where that Universal Background Check (ptu!ptu!) would come in handy. I would imagine that by now there are so many refusals of email and web orders for guns, gun repair and ammo, that the NY PTB are, or will start, physically coming out-of-state to get things done.
Sooooo, to all gun shops of all kinds, start asking for a state gubbment ID. Apologize to all in-state local residents, explain that you're merely trying to catch and stop any/all NY gubbment employees from purchasing arms & ammo.
The libtards want a level playing field, let's give 'em one. Guarantee they won't like it.

Why in the world does the NYPD want .50 cal rifles? That seems like extreme overkill in the city.

How else can they get their live fire exercise and not get fired back on. Semper Fi

It would be great if we could get ammo manufacturers and distributors to cut off NY LEO's from ammo, but I suspect they all have long-term contracts. The smart departments will, anyway.

Why would any PD need a .50 cal ?
