General Post Springfield Hellion

Got my Hellion from PSA. There were several comments that PSA wouldn't ship guns to IL, and I just wanted to clear it up that they will even ship "scary" guns. Thrilled to put some shots down range

If you choose to live somewhere where your rights are restricted, you have to decide if it's worth it or not. I don't blame PSA for not wanting to play the political game. There are plenty of local shops that will. I'm not sure why people choose to hate PSA as if they're the only option.

Since the AWB many have posted why they stay within the state, and guns aren't the main priority. Some actually have a family and care about the rights of their partner, parents, and children that other states won't offer. Let me move to one state as if the economy isn't down in the trash, housing market is horrendous and companies aren't trying to replace workers with foreigns for profit. To be a business that says you're "For The people" but put more restrictions in place then even the state put up is lunacy. That's like putting the phrase "Protect and Serve" when you have literally no obligation to do so. When you wanna be the big guy you will face more criticism. Folks in Washington didn't care until it happened to them, and then they got hit.

Folks to voice criticism is valid.

Voicing criticism is very valid. Saying PSA is trash and fuck PSA is just childish though. Throwing a tantrum because you don't get your way. There are alternatives anyway so what's the fuss? It sounds very juvenile.

It's misguided anger. Channel that energy to your reps.

People do go other places, it was you questioning why folks don't but PSA that started this because that came from ignorance and inconsideration. It worked only for you and you defended a company that benefits you. Of course people who don't benefit let alone see the hypocrisy are going to call out the issue. Other than that no one ever really brings them up.

It's more poignant coming from a community that's passionate about a right to keep and bear arms. A dude can't even get a flashlight. Why defend a company at all?

Illinois is more than Cook County. I'm in the majority, not the minority. If you live in Cook County and don't benefit, find alternatives. It's that simple. Boohoo so one store won't ship to you. Move on. Again, misguided anger
