Dana Safety Supply Bans Sale of Semi-Automatic Rifles to Civilians

This hypocritical statement is from the Dana Safety Supply Web site:

Dana Safety Supply’s (DSS) core business is the support of law enforcement personnel. DSS supports the right and liberty of Americans to keep and bear arms and to use them for enjoyment and protection. While DSS’s retail centers are open to the public, DSS has always focused its efforts on equipping law enforcement personnel.

While we support the rights of Americans to own and safely enjoy firearms, we have chosen to sell some select firearms to law enforcement personnel only. Our policy is a business decision to focus our efforts on our core business of supplying and supporting law enforcement personnel. DSS remains dedicated to the safe and responsible sale of firearms and supporting the law enforcement officers who protect us all.


What this is about is Dana Safety Supply's recent ban on selling semi-automatic rifles to civilians. For now, these rifles are legal for civilians to own, but Dana Safety Supply does not want civilians to own them, so they are just not going to sell them.

While Dana is well within their rights to not sell whatever to whomever they want, it is hypocritical that they are willing to take money from civilians for some products while refusing to sell them other perfectly legal products. This is an unjustified moral judgement, and it is unbelievable that anyone who respects the Second Amendment could even imagine buying anything from Dana Safety Supply or any of its stores now or at any point in the future.

The sad thing is that Dana makes most of its money selling to government agencies, so they are getting your money regardless of whether you shop there or not.  Your tax dollars are going to Dana, so your government and its employees can buy firearms Dana refuses to sell to you.  You tax dollars are going to company who is actively doing harm to your Second Amendment rights.

Sheriff Scott Berry from the Oconee County Georgia Sheriffs Office has already begun a boycott of the Dana companies.  Any other police department head who cares about civil rights will do the same.

You can call Dana Safety Supply at (800) 845-0045 and let them know how you feel about this policy.

You might have a Dana company near you operating under a different name. Check the list below to see if you have been unknowingly giving Dana Safety Supply your money.
