On Friday, gun manufacturer Daniel Defense posted on Facebook saying they support the ‘Fix NICS’ bill which is designed to fix the reporting requirements for the National Instant Check System.
The company quickly received backlash from a number of Second Amendment advocates and customers. Many of those who are unhappy with Daniel Defense’s position have made it known that they will boycott the company.
@DanielDefense what rights are you guys gonna try to take away from law abiding citizens today? #turncoats

So what’s it like knowing you killed yours business with a single post ? I will never by a DD product again. You and those traitors called the @NRAILA have dug your own grave. To everyone else go join @GunOwners they won’t compromise or back down.

Does this mean you’re selling your rifle?
@DanielDefense Was saving up for one of your MK18s. You can kiss that sale good bye. Good thing my last AR was a @spikes_tactical instead of the M4V9 I've been eyeballing because I'll never buy from DD after that statement. pic.twitter.com/jyxSMqoFhl

@DanielDefense I was very disappointed 2 learn that DD supports the Fix NICS legislation. While I respect ur right 2 support whatever u want, I find it troubling u would support this anti 2A crap. Sadly I will look for another brand when purchasing my next AR. @RepThomasMassie

So @DanielDefense has come out as anti #2ndAmendment
Glad they will NEVER get a dime of mine for their over priced crap. I love my superior @SmithWessonCorp M&P15 Sport 2! #MolanLabe #WeThePeople #ThePewPewLife #ThePPL #ShallNotBeInfringed pic.twitter.com/JFzxlrpUi9
